Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES. Martin Offiah MBE, pre-Grand Final Speech, 2nd October 2010.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33718.jpg

In HD for me also, but i'm puzzled by Bilko's listings here: www.rugbyleagueontv.co.uk/, because there is no such thing as BBC2 HD. icon_surprised.gifops:

It's on either BBC 2 and BBC's HD channel.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif



I struggle to see what McBanana see's in Wilkin, he offers nothing.

Last week Luke Lewis was crunching the Kiwis all game and ran hard and did good lines, that's what an International 2nd row does.

I'd love to see Bailey or Carvell in before him.

I see you've changed from 80% empty. So around 100% out on each.

Really need Graham and Ellis to pull through for next week. Aside from 3 rediculous decisions by the officials in 10 mins they were another reason the game went away from us.

I'd love us to win next week and get another crack at the Aussies. They look like you can really get at them and Slater will be a big loss. We can afford to make the silly errors we did yesterday against them but we've got loads of improvement in us. They will say they have as well but we shouldn't forget the Aussies had 2 warm up games against the Kiwis compared to ours against France and Wales.

I said last night id bench Chase but after watching the replay I've changed my mind. He had a nightmare couple of moments but he's such a threat and he deserves a chance to learn his lessons.

As for the 3 games we've played recently I'm again wanting Widdop to start and Carvell to come on to the bench.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

And where were you?
Probably watching the borefest at Anfield. I know who got better value for their money yesterday.

It's no good good moaning about losing players to RU when the majority of RL fans can't be @rsed supporting their national side.

Agreed. Yesterday was a great day for the sport.
Can't believe how many Aus /NZ support there was! Thought the atmosphere in the lower tier was pretty good. Kids enjoyed the Haka and the Mexican wave!
Family ticket (2 Adults, 2 Kids) -£30, amazing value for two matches!

Not really, 40k and a 16 point loss is still poor, your standards are very low.

As I have said one hundred times before, I get more than enough from watching my club teams in both sports, I dont understand how you can have any passion for a team that plays 3-4 times a year against the same 3 or 4 teams, getting the same results, doesnt appeal to me at all. I haven't once MOANED about the crowds, why would I moan? Im not bothered. Neither have I moaned about losing players to RU, the reason we lose players to RU is because the cretins at the RFL wont up the salary cap, simple as that, nothing to do with the international game.

Also depends on what you class as "value for money", id rather sit in a stadium and watch a team I am passionate about playing in a "borefest" than pretend im all excited about England, when in fact, im not.

As far as I am aware I didn't say what would constitute a decent crowd or scoreline. Though I knew you were talking crap when you said it would be 80% empty. You like to show off by making stupid, hysterical statements but don't have the bottle to back it up.
