bolty58 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Was with Eels and Panthers fans yesterday at the Federal Hotel in Fremantle. Thugby League doesn't really do it for me but they had replays of the games on the big screen in the beer garden with the England game and the Australia game being shown. They were remarkably complimentary about England's victory against Samoa. Seems they really rate Samoa and expected a much closer result. Once the Aussies came on though it was a case for them of "Who do we beat in the final, England or NZ"? Didn't even bother to check if the groups are arranged to allow for this to happen? They are ultra confident "We've won the last three and there's nothing to stop us winning a fourth here". FFS, I hope England can win it (and if not then NZ). Quote

They're talking shite, only won the last two 2013 and 2017. NZ won in 2008 and it was on home (Oz) soil too https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Rugby_League_World_Cup_Final Quote
FrancisFogarty Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 I watched Jamaica v Ireland last night outside a bar. Only because It was on, I couldn't make head nor tail of it. It looked a good natured affair though, but given the result it would have been hard for anyone to want to fall out. Quote

They'd swilled enough of it by the time I got there! Seeing one of them again tomorrow at Rodneys Bait & Tackle so I'll be putting the record straight. I wouldn't have a fucking clue about that game. Hope England win it of course. Quote
Ani Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Is anyone going to the game at the Macron this weekend ? What is the crack with car parking ? Got a mate going so said I would ask. Is it just the usual or do you have to book ? Quote

Ani Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Smiffs said tickets for tonight sat on half way were £70. That might be the issue, I know cheaper ones were available last year but that is a crazy price Quote

royal white Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Prices and promotion are shocking. I’ve not seen much advertised on the TV but that’s because I hardly watch it. I know it’s nowhere near as big as football but we as a country usually show support in big events regardless of what the sport is and especially being the host nation. Quote

Cheapest one being £25 Quote
