Odd comment to make. Anyway, the point I made is applicable to Hull FC too though. Like you probably do on Rovers, I spend a lot of money and time following FC, watching a lot of pretty average games (in terms of skill level and quality) played by some pretty average players (I'm looking at the Steve Michaels, Chris Green, Liam Salter, Dane Tilse types).

So, when some genuine world class players do show up to play a rare game in our city, some fans like Roversmad see it was a waste of money, despite it being proportionately a fraction of what they spend watching Rovers over a season.

I find it bizarre.

Agree. Second half was much better. Burgess was immense off the bench.



I'm afraid Roversmad is probably one of many who feel this way. This is due to the state of our international game. The days of scrambling for tickets for the deciding test at Elland road in 1990 are long gone and the RFL are just happy that enough turn up to make the stadium look full.

No it's not. That hypothetical situation would only work if an England vs Spain competitive International was being played less than 10 miles away from Oldham, and some of England's best players played abroad. I reckon in that case they'd make an effort to go see the very best players in the sport they love, right on their doorstep, on the very rare occasion they happen to be playing in this country.

To be honest I've become really not bothered about international RL yes I'll watch it but there isn't enough good teams or enough matches between the top 3 you talk about the quality of players but that wasn't evident by the first half yesterday England looked clueless near the line second half was better I think the days when the Aussies did proper tours were the peak of our international game the interest was there now we get the odd game every couple of years

Terrific atmosphere my booty. It was like a morgue in the 1st half. I was in the West Upper and could hear the players shouting at each other.

Still, enjoyable game.



it was a great atmosphere as the teams came out after the light show, national anthems and haka

once kick off took place the atmosphere fell flat


so technically the headline is correct :lol:

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?

Wind your neck in soft lad. I meant in hindsight I was glad I didn't go as the match was poor.

Re: Confident England Take Series Lead : Mon Nov 02, 2015 9:54 pm  
I feel badly let down by media coverage of this test series.

Firstly the BBC coverage of yesterday's game was cackamallababshit. 10 minutes of crammed introduction and preamble, then the teams walk out. I liked Dave Wood's understated commentary, but that incomprehensible yak from the far side of Swansea sat beside him giving his expert opinion on proceedings really had me screaming fire.

Match was no sooner finished then off air.

Then to compound matters, I am watching BBC breakfast news this morning and the RL match result and report comes after new Aston Villa manager, Sunday Premier League football results, women's football, yawnion, cricket and gymnastics.

How our game has plumbed the depths from a media profile perspective in the last 25 years. We're doomed if the channel that broadcasts this series maintains this standard and exposure. Opinions please.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

I enjoyed it, bit then I'm feral when it comes to teams that I support.

I'm a proud Northener, not English, more European.

Jiffy is indeed rubbish, hasn't caught up with the game since he played it.

Personally I don't like the endless build up, just give me the game, I like Dave Woods a lot, I think he calls the game well. I used to really like 5Live's radio commentary before David Oates died, they had him and another bloke who's name escapes me. Oates would call it when one team had possession and the other bloke vice versa, it worked really well.
