Heard Des say as they left theres no more mention of the weather/cold.
Thats all Ive heard them discussing since they got there....f**king softcocks

Des ?

 

[Patorick]

Desmond Haynes.

He's our new spiritual adviser...

 

[Timmah]

Spot on.

Nein are a f**king abomination on this great sport.

How they think they can bid for the rights after this type of treatment is mind boggling.

Good to check facts before a good old bash.

Channel 9 will show the match live on digital channel GEM at 6:45am AEDT.

Then replay it on the main channel at 2:30pm.

That's MORE coverage than the game has had in recent years...

The funny thing is, those bashing this game are often fans of sides who haven't played a part in it for several years..

Thank you nine for your fantastic coverage and support of Rugby League.

It wasn't announced until yesterday that it was being shown on GEM. All online tv guides didn't have it on.
The thing is we shouldn't be wondering leading up to it whether it's going to be shown live or not, it should be a given, on the main channel (in NSW & QLD at the very least)

 

[Timmah]

I absolutely agree. But it is live, regardless of how it happened. That's the important thing.

With a full backline (not 2 second rowers playing centre and a centre playing wing like we were against Wigan) I reckon we will score some points this week. The big worry for me is Watkins though. The kid's a beast and I really hope he gets his chance against Matai to give him some sort of clue as to where he is right now.

I also reckon Manly will score some points too and cant see it being that low scoring. Those big mobile back rowers will cause some damage. If they have looked at the tapes well they should attack Hardaker and his left side as much as possible. He will struggle with the size of the task IMO.

I wanna win it. I know its just a trial but that trophy looks good next to the premiership one in our cabnit.

Around 21,000 tickets sold so far for tonight's game. I believe they are leaving a couple of pay turnstiles open for last minute attendees. The cap for the game is 21,500 and the only area that hasn't sold out is the Western Terrace behind the posts... at the Western end believe it or not :sarcasm:

It's the 1st 20,000+ crowd at Headingley in about 4 years too. The atmosphere should be hot.
