... was this merely a reference to the early score or did martin have something strapped to his arm, maybe a tribute to big tez? missus saw the white bandage but reckons she saw writing on it?

R.I.P Terry

It had some reference to Newton on it, definitely caught that much earlier on the BBC highlights.

dammit, the missus was right then. i hate losing. thanks guys, sorry for the needless post!!!

Thats exactly what was written on it.
Brought me out in goosebumps when he did that.
And just how fired-up was Gleese for this game??


Awesome performance in honour of Tez.

Yep R.I.P Terry and a few of the other players had it on their wristbands as well.

Great touch.

He says in tomorrows Mail that he wanted to win it for Terry.

A fired up Gleeson like yesterday is still the best centre in the comp.

His best game in Cherry 'n' White, superb display, just a shame Terry wasn't there.

He is and given his not so great reputation on the professionalism front the fact Madge picks him ought to tell us he's in with the program.

He was great in the GF and if he isn't in the four nations I give up.

Dave

I agree, if he stepped out of line, he'd be out, clearly he has matured and finally found somewhere he fits.

The fact the lads ditched booze for the duration of the play offs shows what they mean to each other, Martin im sure will have enjoyed a drink since.

You can form an argument for all our English players who played in the final playing for England, Gleeson especially, but tbh, i dont want any of them anywhere near McNamara or the embarrassment that will follow.

Me either - the fact that he cant even coach a bunch of super league players to victory against a bunch of amateurs speaks volumes.

I don't want any of our players within 10 miles of that clown, but he is gonna pick at least three. PNG will beat England, it's awful.
