Controlled the game. Second half has been near on perfect.

Other than that try.
Fucking hell lad.
We're probably losing to the Welsh now.
Didn't see it all but from the highlights that looked deeply satisfying.
Absolute class.
As lol as it is Ben Barba effectively being banned from rugby, it does strike me as him copping it for all the other off-season idiocy. He won't be the last player to belt a woman, and they won't ban them all.
Im a big bore but this should have started with Matt Lodge last year. I expect Hayne to be banned and jailed though.Originally Posted by Lewis
Yeah, whether or not he should have been banned, the fact is he wasn't. You could argue that Barba is a habitual fuck-up, but Matt Lodge's ex also came forward and said he was abusive to her, so wait until somebody good gets into trouble and watch the excuses come out. Similarly, shithouse behaviour that isn't necessarily physical assault, like the Dylan Napa stuff, will inevitably invite comparisons when it barely gets sanctioned.
Yeah that is another one why do these blokes put themselves in situations where some dickhead can video them? Ill never understand that level of risk taking.
They should.
Less throwing rocks at your missus’ head and more snorting “peppermint powder” is what rugby league needs.

New rugby league club in Liverpool?
https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/...-in-liverpool/Former Salford owner Marwan Koukash is leading a bid to establish a new rugby league club in Liverpool.
The millionaire racehorse owner, who relinquished control of the Red Devils just over 12 months ago, is keen to get involved in the game once more and, after dropping his interest in launching a new club in Cumbria and pulling out of a bid to take over Widnes, has switched his focus to Liverpool.
"The three of us are fairly comfortable financially and we have invested heavily in rugby league in the past in the form of sponsorship or ownership etc.
"We are in discussions with the council and we've got options on a ground, which I think will end up being in the Sefton area of Liverpool.
"We're going to build a new ground and get started as soon as we can.
"We're open to starting in League 1 or the alternative maybe is we are told by the RFL that it might be easier to buy an existing club and re-brand it.
"We hope to launch the project at the Magic Weekend.”
Also from Matty Costello’s wiki:
Matty Costello holds the record for the greatest amount of freckles on his wang in the Super League, as of January 2019, beating Jonny Lomax who came second place.

Liverpool seems reasonably well served if you wanted to watch a game. He would have been better off with whatever his weird Lake District idea was, or having another go at buying Bradford.
The PPV price to watch Paul Gallen v John Hopoate in a pro boxing fight is $50...
Brexit means Brexit. Let's run these cunts over.
The French have started early I see.
I saw a bit of 'Ooh you never know with France...' earlier as if it was twenty years ago.
Yeah, Wales are more like the new France and Scotland are now Wales. I guess that makes Italy Scotland.
They keep jizzing over that number 14 on commentary, completing ignoring that we've gone in behind him for about 26 points so far.
Wigan doing the business.
I doubt we get that if there was one score in it.
That one was a bit generous as well.
Nigel must have had a dodgy coq au vin recently.
We've been utter turd this half.
That second half was a cowardly disgrace.
Shocking performance.
Told you.
Do they still have that Grand Slam super bonus point in the 6 nations or is there a chance England and Wales could tie on 20 points if results go that way next week?
No, there's a bonus three points for doing the Grand Slam so if you win all your games you can't be beaten/equalled through bonus point shenanigans.
The Irish will throw it because they are bitter losers.
How did Ireland struggle against this mob?

This is proper grubby stuff. Two terrible options both powered by desperate, grasping greed and a lack of regard for the sport (rugby isn't my game but I've seen this happen in cricket/F1 and clearly no lessons learned). Why anyone would entertain going anywhere near CVC for the sake of short term money is beyond me. What would rugby even do with short term money?
The Matt Lodge story seemed awful. Even by the standards of rugby assholery.
There's a man who should have been banned for life instantly.
The off-season hand-wringing has been a bit much. By all means sanction people, but does it really turn people off the game whenever some idiot does an idiot? They seem to live in perpetual fear that every lol picture that makes its way onto Twitter sends a stand full of families over to the AFL (as if they aren't also a bunch of twats). Grow up Australia. You are the biggest fannies in the Anglosphere.
I was going to go Cronulla for the title this year until Shane 'Flanno' Flanagan was memory holed, so now fuck knows. Wayne Bennett winning it would be top drawer, doing the Roosters 6-2 in the Grand Final or something equally lol. I have no idea. John Bateman is going to don it at Canberra though.
I only care about banning the ones who bash woman and children.
Ricky Stuart has had the best take on how soft and entilted the current crop of players are. You only have to hang out at a local leagues club to get a sense of the absolute flogs that play the game.

Probably more of an Australian problem as whole though. Domestic violence is a huge problem over here @Lewis.
Great Britain's Wayne Bennett calling the other coaches 'drama queens'. Roll on the Grand Final.
The Greatest Game.
As in no try zone?
Wigan are known for their pies, so Warrington always make a big deal out of it. A few years ago they billed a meeting as 'The Big Pie Smash' and released a trailer of new signing Chris Sandow kicking a pie to bits. Wigan beat them 28-0, and Sandow got this all night.
That is amazing.
Ireland can go fuck themselves.
They'll all be crying into their prosecco later
Ewan MacKenna's Twitter will be glorious reading this evening.

Going for a championship and you can't even score a point in 80 minutes, shamefuru dispray.
Sexton looked like he'd been on the paddy's day celebrations all last night and most of this morning.
Scotland are a joke as ever.
There’s no doubt injures plaguing this generation are the biggest factor in this awful 6N, but the selection is also galling. Grigg/Johnson aren’t a pairing that can play at this level, as good as their club game is, the locks rarely compliment each other with Jonny Gray the major issue - he’s spectacularly failed to improve, and is half the influence he was when he was when he was a teen in truth.
Matt Taylor has a big rep but you can’t defend his position as defence coach on these showings this year - right the way back to the Italy game.
This second half. Fuck's sake.
Every time we have a decent first half we just switch off. So lazy.
