The Rugby League Thread ...
 

I thought I'd do this to save us/me the trouble of sifting through 4 or 5 different topics ....we all know each other ...fnar ! fnar!! ...so why not keep everything league related in the one place ....

If you disagree then say so ..and we can revert to the seperate threads ....I just think that given that I'm usually tanked on the amber singing fluid when I get here ... one click is better than 5 ...



Seperate note for those who can get Setanta ..they are showing they NRL as well as Super League....although for some bizarre reason the Super League is only on the TV networks and not broadband this season ... they are showing a shitload of NRL games plus a weekly review ... Its either next week or the week after but I noticed they are showing 3 NRL games in a row ... heaven :eek:

I'm about to plump for a ITVN box ...nothing to do with ITV in the UK ...its an internet service that you can plug into the TV ...I'll get Setanta for $14 ...not a bad deal in my book

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

I couldn't possibly agree with a pie eater:rofl:
A special message for those with sentata from me bastards!!!!!:rofl:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

yep sounds good - its always the same faces anyway:thumbsup:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Genius idea! Perhaps a Moderator or Admin?? could tidy up the seperate threads into just one League thread or will the other threads be left to wander in cyberspace for years to come?

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Steady on Bill don't get too technical:D remember at least one of us is a 'mere' girlie:rofl:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

......and thats the best of the bunch :thumbup:

I was suprised to see Justin Morgan moaning on ....the fairytale start has begun to turn into a nightmare so maybe he's trying to deflect attention .... and what ever happened to fighting fire with fire ....if somebody was going about taking out teeth and hitting high in my day ....he'd cop a few in return too ...

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Yeah,it looked like i knew what i was talking about there for a minute...which couldnt be further from the truth!:D

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

That would be the good old days when you sorted it out on the field and not by a poxy panel weeks after - long gone:cry_smile: :cry_smile: :cry_smile:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Well he may not have got the G.B. job,but good to see the RFL are making full use of Ellery Hanleys talents........:( ,hes doing the C.C. draw tonight at 7 (uk time),only HKR are the onl SL team missing from the draw,whatever happened to giant-killing??
A home draw would be nice for Quins,instead of our annual away draw to Leeds :frown:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

We'll get Whitehaven or Barrow and have to hike up to where the sheep have 2 heads and glow in the dark:eek: :eek:
Mind you..............wait a minute ......we won't have to do THAT trip again cos we are over here and thats over there:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Lol - have you seen the sheep here:eek: :eek:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

We might have a chance if Tony is thinking about the GB job in advance, there again maybe Brian will be thinking about taking over at leeds:curse:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Here you go boys pick the bones out of this:

Whitehaven v Catalans
Warrington v Barrow
Leeds v Wigan
Hull v Sheffield
Salford v Huddersfield
St Helens v Rochdale
Oldham v Quins (:thumbsup: for Quins)
Wakefield v Bradford:eek: :eek:

Well at least we've got a home game;)

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Yeah there's nowt worse than a long drive home after a good tonkin':rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

I will happily settle for that draw,cant believe we never got Leeds(3 out of last 4 years:sneaky: )
Shaping up for a Quins-Catalans final then??:p

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

You just know were going to get Leeds in the next round - Should we progress of course:o

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Are we still talking about rugby here :confused: ;)

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Lozza & Bill what do you reckon the odds are for a Wakey Quins final?:D :D :D

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

If you had a tenner on it you would do very well if it came off,but highly unlikely!:D ,
When was the last final without one of the big 4 in it!!
Would love to see some of the comments from the anti-expansionists if a Quins-Catalans final came up:p
Apparently Rob Purdhams said before the beginning of the season we would get to Wembley for the final,hope hes right.I still have bad dreams about the last one there:o

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Very True whilst it was a great day out the result was a bit soul destroying:cry_smile: :cry_smile: :cry_smile:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

[QUOTE=JohnoBronco;4604042]Lozza & Bill what do you reckon the odds are for a Wakey Quins final?:/QUOTE]

Nah........I reckon if we both get through the next round (and you are more likely to than us:eek:) we will draw each other in the next round :ohmy:

Now on to this weekend...................we've got our bogey side.....yep you guessed it bloody Huddersfield at the wonderful Galpharm:eek: stadium. And true to form our speccies are being asked to pay through the nose to sit in a place with as much atmosphere as a sealed biscuit tin:curse: 18.50 it costs to sit miles from the pitch in uncomfy seats. They then have the cheek to charge 3 quid for warm beer in a plastic cup:mad: boy am I glad I'm not there.
As if thats not bad enough we've got Bradford on Monday. Ah well never mind its Quins next week:p

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

oh well thats 2 points in the bag for you :thumbdown:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

The box arrives Friday ....should be watching the NRL Saturday :p

Beginning to think we should run a tipsters section ...for the weekends matches ...see who really knows their stuff ....(thats Thydney for the wooden spoon :D )

Might even be willing to stump up for a prize too ... anyone interested !!!

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Yeah,im game,already in 3 online tipping comps,be a pleasure to share my knowledge with you all :D :curse:
Are we talking Super Leage or NRL tipping??

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

we could do both ...

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Sounds good to me:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[QUOTE=loz;4604224]Oh dear Loz!!:ohmy:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Tried to listen to Wigan and Saints via BBC local radio ....seems sky sports had other idea's ...got most of the info from wish FM ....a small indi radio station ...
Pains me to say that Saints were by far the better team ...Wigan were competetive and until the last quarter they had a shout ...Saints just had too much pace ...

One thing of note ...the amount of times Mathew Gidley was compared to Jamie Lyon ...seems its like comparing Greenhalls to Timmy Taylors :p

btw ...if we get a few more positives we'll start the tipsters next weekend

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Sorry geez but they had a few chances and other than that they were totally outclassed. BBC radio gell head had the game live with Halan Rooooooooney and Ray 'fully forty yards' French I even got a mention:rofl:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

The ITVN box arrived today :thumbs_up: It took 10 minutes to set up ....and hey presto NRL....Newcastle v Melborne live .... not the best game in the world, lots of dropped passes and unforced errors ....but it was league and it was live ...
The quality was very good better than the previous football game from the UK ....I would recommend it to anyone with broadband ...

I think Hull and Hull KR are live on Monday ... I know there is another live NRL game Sunday morning

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

*** off!!!!!!!:rofl:

Pity you missed your team get slapped yesterday:rofl:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Just read on BBC Website that a Kiwi Team is trying to join Super League - not sure how that would work exactly :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

;) This story first surfaced a week before this BBC story,which would make the date april 1st ?? Has to be a wind-up!!

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

They could just move to London like the Australian team did :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Bit hard to argue with that,...but i will say things are slowly improving in that area,of the starting 13 against Hull 7 of the players were British,8 if you include Henry Paul(who has played union for England and i believe is eligible for GB/England at RL now).And could have been 9 if David Mills hadnt been named on the bench.
And better than some heartland clubs for some games it would seem!!

Re: The Rugby League Thread ...
 

Managed to put together a starting 13 of British players for Quins..
1=Chris Melling
2=Andy Smith
3=Tony Clubb
4=Paul Sykes
5=John Wells
6=Henry Paul (or Joe Walsh if henry not acceptable)
7=Danny Orr
8=David Mill
9-Michael Worrincy
10=Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook
11=David Toothill
12=Jon Grayshon
13=Rob Purdham (capt)

Ok,its a bit of a weak,young and inexperienced side,bit all players have super league experience.I dont think we would frighten too many with that side but definately going in the right direction under Brian Mac and Ian Leneghan
