Spider Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 You don't half post some nonsense about rugby mate. Last year it was the crowd at Twickenham being exclusively Hooray Henrys then this rubbish. I look forward to 2018's post :-) I enjoy both types. But I'm not wrong about the tackling. Watch yesterday's game, as soon as anyone is running with the ball, 9 times out of 10 they see the tackler up ahead and are halfway to the floor so they can be ready to give the ball backwards to the number 9. League players will run straight at each other and keep going for every yard they can. One passage of play yesterday was 24 "phases" which ended with the number 9 scoring a penalty. And if you're remembering everything I post, either I'm always wrong or you want me to love you in the mouth. I'm right about the tackling though. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) . Fuck me if you enjoyed that your fucking easily pleased As a spectacle the Scotland v Ireland was superb the England v France game was a slog but to get the win meant ultimately it was enjoyable especially as I was in the company of an Irish and Welsh fan who were rooting for France.

That game Sweep keeps mentioning was the worse game of league I've ever seen too. It happens sometimes. Quote
Marc505 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I'm not that into either code, but any league that offers the prospect of Toronto away will do for me! Quote
Whites man Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 RIP Joost van der Westhuizen. Not unexpected but 45 is no age. Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Huge game tomorrow. Beat the Welsh and it's very much on. Just got to attempt getting home from Wanderers without knowing the score. Quote
bolty58 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Aye Matt, this is a big one. Jones has a plan, I am sure of it. Mediocre but good enough last week and now we unleash the lions. Win this and the only challenge is the last game. Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Huge game tomorrow. Beat the Welsh and it's very much on. Just got to attempt getting home from Wanderers without knowing the score. starts at 5 doesn't it, better be on in Barnstormers after the game, or it's straight home for me. fucking love Eddie Jones, used to think he was a right nobber Quote

bolty58 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 That was immense. Off to bed now at 3am. Not sure I'll sleep. 4-1 to the Whites too. Content. Quote
Sweep Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 That was a great game. Anybody, even a neutral would admit that was exciting Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Tremendous. All the sweeter for the win. Pitch looked surprisingly poor. Quote
Underpants Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) If international RL matches were as gripping as that I might give it more time and effort. Edited February 11, 2017 by Underpants Quote
Casino Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 If RL had any clue about teamwork and defence it might make for a decent international team 83 tries every week in not so super league, then play the convicts and they can't cross the line Quote
miamiwhite Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Fantastic victory for England, certainly shut Max Boyce and Co up. Lovely comeback from Brian Moore below.. https://mobile.twitter.com/mrgeoffpeters/status/830488488751591424/photo/1 Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Absolutely epic. Had everything that test. Farrell, launchbury, moriarty superb. Halfpennys kick at the end I salute you. Quote

Casino Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Not sure why every time we play Wales on BBC we have to have a taff commentator (OK, I do) At one point tonight Davies shouted 'come on' Quote
Whites man Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Not sure why every time we play Wales on BBC we have to have a taff commentator (OK, I do) At one point tonight Davies shouted 'come on' Great player and by all accounts a thoroughly good guy, outbursts like that make it all the better when we beat them (which we normally do). Great game tonight, you could see what way it was heading but it still need finishing. Quote

Splendid stuff. Quote
birch-chorley Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Enjoyed that, great watch Even the Mrs got into it Quote

Actually quite entertaining too, when they do it. Quote
Sweep Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 He almost, almost admitted he enjoyed it then..... Quote
