It's a weird zombie league at the minute so I never bothered watching it. Gutted.
Andy 'Andrew Farrell' Farrell doing us a solid here.
I thought there was another round where it'd still be on the line so the headline staying we'd won it came as a nice surprise.
I had a good laugh at Wales losing at home to the Scotch.

Huge signing/re-signing for the Wife Beaters Hall of Fame
Also this is completely fucked.
It is understood the charges do not trigger the NRL’s no-fault stand down policy, as they carry a sentence of less than 11 years.

I assume there is much more to it, but 'entering car' is probably the lightest crime ever described.
Hopefully it is nothing and the media is just filling pages. Online Manly fans seem to be hinting at some sort of history with women.
Less than 11 years.

I would love to know how they landed on 11 years.
The Wife Beater XIII is still weak at seven and nine unfortunately.
Meanwhile, Toronto have been chucked out of Super League. It's a weird one. Having a side there is clearly good for the game, but the pandemic just made it unviable with the game potentially on its arse for the foreseeable future. Plus the bloke trying to save them as a means of promoting his grooming product business seems like an absolute chancer. As well as refusing to prove he has the money, he apparently made his very thin presentation to the other clubs whilst driving.
The ridiculous part is that the clubs and the governing body got to vote on it, and only Leeds, Saints, Catalans (the two best run clubs and the other expansion side) and the governing body voted to keep them. Everyone else, other than Warrington who abstained, voted to throw them out. Since voting yesterday to deem them financially unviable, Hull KR have unilaterally withdrawn from the competition due to covid cases, and Salford have defaulted on a financial agreement made with the league years ago relating to their own solvency, knowing full well that having points deducted is irrelevant for them now.
Presumably it is somewhat similar to maybe League One football and therefore lives and dies on crowds? Well, it lives and dies on Sky I guess but so does everything.
The Sky money probably keeps a couple of sides in business, but overall it is probably something like 80/20 crowds to television money. It's a pretty bad ratio really because it paints them into a corner as far as the league structure goes. The absolute best thing for Super League would be a simple home and away fixture system to promote less games with more intensity, which, in the medium to longer-term would increase crowds; but there isn't enough telly money to bridge the gap, so half the league insists on a certain amount of home fixtures every year to sustain themselves, which means a shit fixture list with two many pointless derbies.
In hindsight Super League should have just admitted Toronto from the off instead of making them waste three years and millions of pounds trying to get there. They were getting better crowds than half of Super League against semi-professional sides, which provides a bit of hope for someone picking it up once we're back to normal.
Sneaky of Salford, that.
Who’s coming in then? Presumably a toss up between Leigh, London Broncos and Toulouse?

Are there many decent French players?
There’s one. Theooooooooooo Farjjjjjjjhjhjh.

Did you watch any of it?
I had three different live feeds on the go, and I might take the morning off for the next one.
Mal Meninga awkwardly avoiding a handshake.
Such a weird coaching team.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has hit out at her Queensland counterpart for "rubbing in" the Maroons' State of Origin win via text message instead of taking the state border issue seriously.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-...&sf239635635=1"On Sunday evening I texted her and congratulated her on her election win and said I was keen to talk about borders. I did not hear from her until last night when she sent me a text about the State of Origin. I didn't know whether to be shocked or confused."

Not sure if I'm being dim, they've over complicated what they're writing about or both: but what would this actually mean in practice? Are we basically just talking about sponsoring or something more than that?
CVC (the example mooted at the bottom of the article) are the people who used to own F1, what they do is buy the asset and take the profits out as it grows. It's basically selling your soul for a cash grab now, and then potentially being stuck with these vampires sucking money out of you forever.
Wullie can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that is what happened to Coventry City all those years ago.
I would have thought the All Blacks would be a pretty safe bet for an investor, unless New Zealand suddenly become bad at rugby or something.
Right, that makes sense.
I think that's pretty much what SISU did at Coventry having bailed them out of admin at the last knockings so they basically had no choice in the matter.
Benji Marshall to the Bulldogs sounds like an awful idea.
It's probably not a bad move to balance out Kyle Flanagan for a season, but he would probably have been Super League bound in normal times by now. Canterbury never seem to produce any players of their own. Have the Greeks and Lebanese switched to football, or have they just moved out to better areas?
Probably branched out. Is Benji even up to it anymore?
He has been a good foil for Luke Brooks, but Brooks is class and Trent Barrett wasn't coaching, so let's assume not.
You put in for any WC tickets, Lewis?
Just one game for me:

I assumed it would be another semi-final double header in London, and would have gone to that, but the fixtures say one is at the Emirates and another is in Leeds. The likely semi-finals are Australia vs New Zealand and England vs Tonga, which would be an amazing day out, so lol out loud if they have actually split them over two days with only one in London.
Tonga vs Papua New Guinea is round your way as well. That might be worth a go.
Also it might not even be on yet. I paid for a derby ticket about seven months ago and still haven't had my money back.
https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/w...b1db3733a768d6Ex-Melbourne Storm flyer Suliasi Vunivalu set for shock Wallabies call-up
Will play for the Reds next year.
That sounds like they were worried about him staying in league. Will he stay on the wing in union or move to full-back?
If he can pass both ways, kick under pressure and is safe under the high ball then he would be a walk up start for fullback. Could be a 13 if his defending is up to scratch.
I must admit having a back 3 or Koroibete,Vunivalu and Daugunu is a bit on the nose.
Stick him at the back, Maika Sivo outside centre, Viliame Kikau at four or five, Api Koroisau scrum-half...
At this stage whatever it takes to win the Bledisloe.
Also Naisarani at 6 or 8.

Tyson Frizell caused that head injury and nobody said anything.
I'll give this until the hour and then go to work.
I left at I think 28-4. Once Munster went off they lacked the extra playmaker that AJ Brimson might have provided, but looking at the rotation stats you could be forgiven for thinking that the SUPERCOACH threw it on purpose for the decider.
lol at Warrington. Relative to the reputation he came over with, and the marquee money he is on, Gareth Widdop might be one of the worst signings of the era. lol also at Super League booking the final in Hull because they figured they were the least likely to get to it.
7 of those names are foreign to me.
