Didnt we play Quins on the 21st of August and City play Bolton at home the following day

Agreed, I thought the intensity of the game was far beyond anything the English could muster.
We pale in comparison: Laboured passing, poor kick and chase, no quality off loads, not to mention the ferocious tackling and destructive running.... Oh my, come in now Tom it’s tea time.

I was watching the game in my local and there was the usual football leftovers hanging around the bar commenting on Rugby League; " It's not hard as Union??"
As they started brawling, "Put them in the middle of the pitch and let them slog it out"
With that some old gadger piped up and said,” If it was football they'd have Sh*t themselves during the Haka” They supped up and left.

I seriously think that if England put the biggest pack out possible we could get at the aussies, lets just pray that they dont get the ball out wide to inglis though.

Outstanding.Best game i've seen for a long time.Some of those Kiwi lads are absolute monsters.
Was very impressed with Sau and Waerea-Hargreaves was like a man posessed when he came on.

premier league rules mean s-d all when its not citys ground.

Bit rough on Shenton. Facing Inglis is a nightmare. Should have had Pryce right centre IMO. Can see Ellis being moved there.

TBF Inglis has the ability to make whoever he plays against look silly.

i know,you do talk it.

City have an agreement to use the stadium. In order to be able to do that they have to comply with Premiership rules. If the SMC decided to ignore that, they would be in breach of contract.

So, no - Premiership rules do NOT mean 'sod all'.

City will have other things to worry bout this week,like there star player drink driving

Cracking game of Rugby but id be more worried when we play the Kiwis....for all the pressure the Convicts had in the 1st half they created sod all...ball back inside where they got mullerd everytime...the Kiwis looked more dangerous with ball in hand.
