Rugby League - International

Coming for ya, steds....

 

[superkingdave]

some strange calls from the touch judge in particular in the first half, but Bradford had enough chances to win the game.

Saints by 20 points at least next week imo

 

[Craig]

I'm tipping Hull for the upset, partly because of Peter Sharp's and Richard Swain's connections wit the Storm have tme wanting to see Hull win, plus I like to cheer for the underdogs.

However I think it is being optimistic though.

 

[BoyBrumby]

12-8 last Friday in St Helens, so I'm certainly not writing Hull off.

Saints clearly favourites tho.

 

[steds]

Saints by 16 if Ashley Klein doesn't get the gig. Saints by 2, with neither side getting out of single figures, if he does. Keeps the skinniest 10 you'll ever see. Not good to have a ref who doesn't know how far 10 metres is.

Would be odd if Bennett was a Parramatta fan.

Indeed. They spoke to him on the pitch beforehand. When asked who he followed in rugby, he gave it the old "I'm supporting Saints tonight!" Yeah, mate. Don't pretend we can't remember that advert when you said you were a Wigan fan. I know, why don't you go over there now instead of sticking around to watch the match? You're missing the Yay. We didn't get wooden spoon ball

Bump so that steds doesn't have to search so far for his beloved thread when posting after the celebratory drink(s).

 

[BoyBrumby]

Fair play to Saints. They've been the best team all year by far.

Are you done with Jamie Lyon now, can he come back and play in real man comp.

Also who is that big guy going that dance, can he play lock.

 

[Burpey]

I was just watching a bit of the final on Fox. Why don't they have lines across the field every ten metres? It's off-putting, as I think the referee has got them back a ridiculous 15m, but can't really tell due to a lack of markings.

 

[Buddhmaster]

Yeh, the field looked very amateurish. The was about a 2cm gap between the dead ball line and the fencing.

 

[Jamee999]

Isn't that because it's at Old Trafford, Theatre of Scum?

Jamee is correct. Soccer pitch.

Jamee is correct. Soccer pitch.

They play soccer on Aussie Stadium and Suncorp Stadium but they bother to change the markings. Very unprofessional IMO.

TBF neither Aussie or Suncorp are owned by a Football team tho, are they? ManUre PLC probably only allow the Grand Final to be played there 'cos of the extra revenue.
