Shhhhh 'spud, you'll make the Aussies jealous.

 

[roughyedspud]

off the back of the aussies whinging about the weather during the WCC i've been monitoring weather conditions down under this season.....


melbourne v brisbane yesterday was listed as 9c....but according to ray hadley on 2gb who called the game for channel nien, he said cos of the wind blowing off the bay the wind chill was more like 4-5c.....and it ain't even the aussie winter yet lol...

Looks like wonderful conditions for running RL, i think if Cas' Daryl Clark was fit to play the Tigers would have won.
Gee they were poor though, Rangi Chase was awful in the 2nd half.

Warrington could get 100 here unless Widnes tighten up.

Crowd doesn't look that good

What you need to understand is that there are 3 matches over 8 hours, in a 50,000 seater stadium. Barely anyone is going to sit there all day, especially through a one-sided match like that.

Great opportunity for the likes of Wire, Huddersfield and Catalans to make ground on the other big sides. Harsh on Saints and Wigan playing against each other for what is effectively just an extra fixture

Shite.

If the Broncos ever fold, we have to keep Kieron Dixon in Rugby League, what an exciting player.

 

[Patorick]

3 send offs in Saints-Wigan.

FMD.

 

[Patorick]

Good win for Wigan!

Much too slick for Saints until the send offs.

Hull should have put the Dobbins to bed but look out for the most ridiculous score off a forward pass I've seen in a long time, and I've seen plenty this last four or five years. Once again Hollywood Ganson is the talking point rather than the game.

Hey DP, why are Hull fans blaming will Sharp for the last try ?
It was Seymour who missed the crucial tackle

I agree but some people are looking at Sharp to cover across on Hodgson but he didn't get there quick enough and the rest is history.

 

[Johnny_L_O]

I think Sharp though he had Hodgson covered but just underestimated how quick he was. I was surprised anyway, I know that. I've never seen him finish a try like that before!

I went out to this on Sunday and dragged along three of my girlfriends mates who were all adamant football heads and didn't know the difference between league and union. Was a great day, particularly enjoyed the Salford performance against the giants, and naturally enjoyed my new home town getting up for once (Leeds).
