Hurrell having the worst game ever (except maybe Matautia) but coming up with that

Konrad Hurrell is so fucking shit

That was a terrible game made even worse by the commentators.
Was it Stuart Pyke?

It was some boring bloke with Paul Rowley being even more boring alongside. The commentary on Sky has been alright this season insofar as I seem to have avoided 'Baz and Tez' most of the times I've watched something.
That felt like the worst Saints performance in years. I can't see us robbing Wigan again, so at least I won't have to go and sit through another Wembley shit show.
lol never mind the 58-0, the council are renaming one of our main roads to James Roby Way
I'm a twit
Which one?

The road into Hull is 'Clive Sullivan Way', because he played for both teams, but then they renamed a road in completely the wrong area 'Roger Millward Way'.
Can’t top a last minute drop goal

Some lols in this game. Tommy Mak being found out for twatting someone and tinpot castleford’s big screen going off.

Didn't run it under the posts... SMH.
Was funny seeing a few Saints Women players drinking pints in a beer garden to celebrate earlier. The TV cameras are kind to Jodie Cunningham.

Hell of a first half in Origin 2. Shame NSW got ballbagged in the first game.
Quite impressed with Harry Robertson here.

Saints losing 24-0 at HT.
Gonna be five losses in a row.
Get Lee Briers in charge ASAP.

Dropping like flies.
FFS Mikey Lewis shouldn’t be on the pitch and now he’s scored a try and converted it to boot. How is gripping someone by the throat not a sin-binnable offence?

The pass looked forward as well. Man of Steel.
Tee Ritson is dog shit.

It's going to be tragic when Rovers do a Castleford in the Grand Final.
Saints.
Is Kyle Feldt any good? Hopefully he has a history of battering women, I miss Ben Barba so much.
I'm a twit
He will be decent enough but still a downgrade on Tommy Makinson, and will probably be on more money when the wing is hardly their priority. Bit of an odd one I think.
What a game this is. Makinson’s try defied physics.

We could do with a Saints win here because 1) lol at Warrington; and 2) Rovers have a better chance against Salford; and 3) fully-fit Saints putting Wigan out would be proper lol.
A better chance against Leigh even.
I think this has been the best game of the season. Get Sam Burgess' giant swede off the screen cheers.
Shanking it out on the full fucking hell lad.
Baz.
Great game, disappointing outcome.
Another year of Wellens.

Leeds Rhinos have announced plans to launch a new rugby tribute to the great Rob Burrow next month – with a cross-code match involving some of league and union’s greatest names played under unique rules.
As mentioned, the game will feature a brand-new set of cross-code rules:
13-a-side – six forwards, seven backs
Each team can bring on a goal kicker only for kicks at goal
Unlimited tackles in your own half but six tackles once attacking team passes half way
Unlimited interchanges
Uncontested scrums from knock ons and forward passes. These are taken on the 20m mark in from touch, attacking team can select which side of the field scrum is placed
Uncontested five man line outs when ball goes into touch
One on one ball steals allowed in tackle before attacking ball carrier gets to ground, once knee to ground, tackle complete, play the ball to restart play
Two markers at tackle, offside is five metres from the play the ball
Two referees, one union, one league. One officiating the ruck, the other offside
Five points for a try, two for a penalty, conversion and drop goal
If the ball is knocked dead in goal, goal line drop out from the defending team, must go at least ten metres
Penalties kicked to touch re-start with a line out or take tap from where penalty is awarded, advantage for union but encourages league to attack from penalties

HULL KR, HULL KR, HULL KR...
Unfortunately the only tickets left when I looked were the shit nosebleed ones, and I can't be arsed doing the nine hour round trip for those, so I will watch it on the telly. Maybe me not being there will break the curse.
I didn't realise that only Leeds, Wigan or St Helens had won it for twenty years. Is there some permanent crisis of BOTTLE among the other teams? From osmosis along I'm sure there was a period when Warrington were the best team.
Wigan and Saints produce the most players and have (or had) the most money, and Leeds had that 'Golden Generation' that coached themselves, so they just succeed by being well-run and not doing anything overly shit. Warrington have probably got the most money for wages but don't produce enough of their own good players to balance the team out and make the most of the salary cap.
Warrington should have had a few by now, but they either ran into Leeds in big game mode (2011 and 2012), or BOTTLED IT against Wigan (2016 and 2018). Elsewhere, Hull are just a basket case club that squanders every conceivable strength it ought to have; Catalans can attract better players than anyone else but are French, although they were arguably robbed in 2021 against Saints; and Castleford absolutely shit the bed and put in the all-time BOTTLE JOB performance against Leeds in 2017. Everyone else either just about punches their weight or has short-lived periods of being good.
I think squad depth and home advantage in the play-offs makes a massive difference in Super League. The Challenge Cup has had twice as many winners and different finalists in the same period, because most squads are still intact that early in the season and you don't get lol decisions like that dodgy try tonight.
Leigh are dog shit.
They are, but Wigan are also very good. Saints and Catalans having poo seasons has thrown them and Salford into it, but normal service should be resumed next year (probably including Hull KR sinking).
Tanya Arnold @Baz she doesn't age.
Kevin Brown piling on the pounds.
Aye, pretty incredible. There's probably footage of her presenting highlights of the 1996 Challenge Cup Final somewhere, looking absolutely identical.Tanya Arnold @Baz she doesn't age.

Wigan vs The World today then, surely.
All set for one of the mascots to whip out a Saints flag.

Jenna getting soaked.
You wish.
Sadly that game went pretty much as expected, so I'm glad I never went up to watch it. Wigan are very, very good at turning the game shit and winning it. It's mad how Bevan French is still in Super League. England union could have had him on residency by now, let alone NRL teams (salary aside, I think he would get in all but about three of them) or their own union.
Herbie Farnworth is some plur.
Watching England currently beat a dogshit all blacks. Referee mic'd up to the stadium tannoy turns the sport into even more of a farce than it already is.
I understand why they mic up the refs (the penalty calls are often confusing when you're at the game and can't hear), but it does feel a bit WWF.
