POST GAME Pre-Season Challenge Week 2

[Organix]

Saints deserved it

 

[Super Freak]

If that's the way they're going to pay it, nobody can ever be offside from a ball lost in a tackle again.

They have been ruling it that way for a long time.

Has to be a clean knock on.

 

[Xzei]

english coach has a set of ears

 

[Mustafur]

That was a really good game.

 

[Accept]

Massive achievement by StH. It's a shame that it'll hardly be reported on by the UK sporting media.

 

[Broncosgirl]

Lol. Who yo Daddy now, Luai?

Going by what was said in the super league reddit the media there completely wrote them off at having a chance lol.

I'd be interested to see if this was just a copy/paste from NRL.com. but Payne listed as captain for the trial (both Capes and Patty are playing)

He ran out first from the tunnel so looks like it's not a mistake.

 

[Broncosgirl]

Kev and Cobbo best of mates in the shed

Great signs!

That was the cleanest knock-on I have seen in ages. It just rolls down the back of the tackler who is not playing at the ball. Please

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Ezra Mam, remember the name. He is going to be some player.

 

[Mustafur]

Carrigan looking good already

 

[Kimlo]

Take it to live thread please

I still cannot get over the arrogance of Australian rugby league fans and media. Yes Penrith were deserved favourites but people were acting like this was like it's up against a qld cup team. Yes rugby league is a lot smaller in England but ffs it is a country of 50 million. There are about 1 million people likely still very interested in rugby league over there. They showed in the world cup they are on the right track, in fact, I thought they were the best performing team up until the semi final. Mark my words, England will win a world cup in the next 1-3 goes. There's a lot of talent there they just lack the level of intense professional that the nrl has...

 

[Foordy]

The ref isn't even trying to hide his cheating now

 

[Foordy]

Well done boys

 

[Nashy]

Well done boys

POST GAME - PSC - Broncos vs Cowboys

I think you are right. If some of their promising players can kick on, they should have a really good side in the future.

I think i remember reading there are about 250k players at all levels of the sport in the England, which actually surprised me, i thought it would have been less. Its just so difficult in England to take kids away from playing football and even getting numbers watching. Crowds in League are mostly on par with the 4th tier of English football. Probably doesnt help them that its basically centered around the north of England.
