All the Sinn FĆ©in/IRA heads like Gerry, Mary & Michelle tweeting about the rubby amuses me. Fuck all from that demographic is going to vote for them no matter how much they try to cosy up to them.

Sure would it matter when theyāll still probably top the polls anyway?
Scandalous decision at the end.
Controversy and great spirit. Rugby league lads are great. The Penrith coach didnāt once mention the ref when three key decisions went against them. I think the two try ones were probably correct, but the ball strip he just got plain wrong. Penrith would win that game nine times out of ten.
Some very strange shaped faces, not least on Nathan Cleary.would make a more cynical observer slightly suspicious.
Disappointing today to see Sam Burgess as a pundit. Even worse to see that utter creep Gareth Thomas, who should be in jail, still being employed as a pundit also on some sort of Welch rubby program with Gabby yorath.

Not sure really. Looked like it wasnāt grounded from the best shot of it. The refs are usually good in league. Thereās not usually much controversy.
The highlight for me was the Wigan lads last ditch tackle. Unbelievable effort.
I wanted Wigan to win though so Iām not a fair judge.
I know there was a big crowd last night but what are Wiganās regular crowds like? Seem to have declined?
Sold out for weeks last night. COVID really affected rugby league crowds across the board. Needs a few more nights like that to rekindle the crowds. Iāve had the feeling itās been drifting for a while, which is a Shane as it is a great game generally played in an admirable way.

Yeah, when Wiganās crowds have declined that is not good.

Watching the footy. Found the hurling dull enough. Carabao final is great entertainment
Thought the last second one was fair enough. The Wigan try looked short of the line though and they didnāt use the best angle which was only shown in the replays after it was given.
Super game though.

Actually turned on a bit of this. Penrith looked much the better team but couldnāt score.
The glory of it
Just saw the highlights of the RL final. The tries were way more entertaining than any game of RU. Some top quality scores.

I was surprised to see Slammin Sam Burgess on punditry duty with Sky.
Wasnāt ge up for domestic abuse or something serious enough a while back?

Yes. Heās gone down the mental health route. May be true but sounds like he was horrible.
