    Good game on at the minute, Hull and Warrington all square at half time.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Hull scraped over the line with 2 points,a try in 77th minute.....tough on Warrington......with 10minute remaining they could 'smell' a win... they sure were wishing that conversion would slip wide of the posts

    Looking forward to a good game, Hull KR v Wakefield Trinity @ 3 tthis afternoon...... bookies & pundits giving Wakefield no chance.....I think it'll be a closer game than expected........ think Hull KR will probably win but it WON'T be by a large margin



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    It will be interesting to see if the Smith announcement makes a difference (either good or bad) to KR's mindset.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I'm thinking YES IT WILL......... dog walked , car washed & hoovered, grass cut, er' indoors away at a hen night ......now for 80minutes of ( hopefully) end-to-end top drawer sport

    Yeah...... lop sided game....definitely NOT a classic



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Wigan v Salford just kicked off on Channel 4. Would like to see a Red Devils win but think it's unlikely.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Looking forward to this challenge cup game @ half 2, expecting another steamroller performance from saint Helens.

    Gone for my usual punt.........saints for the HT & FT result at surprising good odds of 8/11

    Hi Tom

    Neither HT OR FT, great comeback from being 14nil down at HT though...... two converted tries in quick succession I thought they had a place in the final booked....... so it's Wigan v Hudderfield for the final.......HullKR not excelling in 2nd semi final



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Great game on tonight.....Huddersfield v Wigan in super league, ironically the two teams that will match up in the challenge cup final.

    Tommorow night......saint Helens hosting Hull fc......... I'm totally biased..... no way I can see any other outcome that a comfortable win for Saints....... I'll be placing a wager on the HT & FT result at terrible odds of 8/13



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Pretty impressed with Wigan with all the changes they had, Giants kept letting them back into it second half though. It'll be a much changed team for the Challenge Cup.

    Yeah I can't see past SaintsSaints v Hull. I'm working so I'll miss it, I'm also working weekend, so I'll feckin miss the NRL magic round.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A very spirited performance from Hullfc in 1st half....... certainly held their own for 40minutes...... Saints just laid their marker down right on the stroke of HT.

    Totally agree it'll be a much different Wigan team for challenge cup.......im thinking WIGAN to lift the trophy.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Hi Tom..... just had a peek at what odds are on offer for challenge cup final......... Wigan @ 2/5, I do expect them to win but those odds are farcical/ won't be going near that

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    I'd fancy them to win too, but they are miserable odds.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Some great games last couple night.....saints had to really dig deep on Thursday night to come away with a 2 point victory.......amazing they didn't get a single point in 2nd half......what a battle.....great game......some sore bodies after that encounter!!!! Some of those tackles I felt on the sofa🤣

    Hullfc v Wigan this afternoon is a hard one to call...... that old cliche " could go either way" is very appropriate



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Hi Tom


    Busy day of sport today.....between the challenge cup @ 3 & then the soccer tonight.

    Wigan aren't softening in the betting at all so I've gone for the HT &FT Wigan ...... would much prefer a straight 'to win' bet but there's not much point at those odds



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Great game..... can't believe Wigan pulled that right out the fire for the win.....Huddersfield had every opportunity for the cup .... Huddersfield left nothing on the pitch.....just got mugged with 3minutes to go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Yeah shame they couldn't hang on, much closer game than I thought it'd be.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Hi Tom......i sure am looking forward to indulging in an overdose of good quality league games this SUPER WEEKEND .


    Some tasty fare on offer......should be 2-3 close games in there......I'm very predictable so I've gone for my standard/ usual punt for the weekend......saints for the HT&FT tommorow afternoon against Wigan.....€50 @ 11/10.

    I going to look at actually going over for the superweekend next year......the tickets are quite reasonable



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,547 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    I'm heading to Magic Weekend tomorrow. Really looking forward to Saints V Wigan. Massive fixture and should be a cracker.

    I think there are a lot of injuries and suspensions affecting some other games. My mate's a Hull FC fan and he says 12 of their main 17 platers are out this weekend, which is a pity.

    Still, should be a brilliant weekend with great fans giving each other all manner of stick. Always good natured fun. Newcastle is a class venue. The stadium is practically in the city so everything is close. Weather is perfect this weekend too. About 18-20 degrees and clear skys



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,547 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    As an aside, I got chatting to Ukuma Taʻai in the sauna in my local gym a couple of weekends ago. Tongan international and played NRL and Superleague with Huddersfield. Playing in the next division for Newcastle Thunder now. Fierce sound man, as it turns out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,547 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    Couldn't recommend it more highly. The money for the ticket is great value when you're getting 6 games. But you can bring food (andmaybe a couple of hipflasks) into the stadium so you don't have to eat overpriced hotdogs all day. But the real costs will be travel and accommodation. Still totally worth it though.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Cheers for that..... yep with the weather and all it sure does look like a VERY enjoyable/ entertaining weekend..... I love league rugby/ I'm a saints fan but I understand the Craic/ atmosphere is fantastic no matter where loyalties lie🤣. It's been on the 'bucket' for a while so I'm definitely going for it next year.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Anyone giving Warrington a chance on Sunday afternoon?????? I think that C Dragons will take that without having to dig too deep



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Yeah Newcastle play in the Championship, tough League this year, Leigh and Featherstone have thrown money at it to get out this year. Big gap between the haves and have nots down there, Newcastle the have nots, along with London.


    Have a blast at the Magic weekend.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    I think it'll be a tight game, actually wouldn't be shocked if Warrington sneaked it. (Stand by for forty nil to the Dragons)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Can't see that....... Dragons peaking lately........ I only ever have the single 'punt' every Friday evening on way home...... but if saints do me right tommorow I might chance a second flutter.....on the Dragons for the win.......bad odds though @ 2 to 1 ON

    Great win for Toulouse to get things rolling.

  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Got to say I was a wee bit surprised at that result........ thought Wakefield would've put that one 'in the bag' ......... Anyhow, I'm all set for next couple hours......C'MON THE SAINTS



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Going next year. I've decided, well that or the Championship equivalent. El_Duderino 09 has made me too jealous.

    Terrific value with virtually no trouble and usually in a decent spot for pubs. (Think they are on about moving from Newcastle after this year)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Amen to that!!!!! I sure was jealous when I read his post last night.............. see, I got tickets for the DARTS in the ALLY PALLY in London Jan.24...... top tickets..... trying to 'sell' Mrs Mc Carthy another sports trip to UK will be tricky but I'll chance it 😀🤣


    My €50 is gone into the paddy power retirement scheme ( AGAIN😥)

    Newcastle!!!!! Count me IN...them Geordies know how to have a bevvy ( or2 )


    Not sure what it is with saints today......injuries or the heat or what.,,,.but they're " back" a good bit from May



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Exciting win for Saints in the end. Pie eaters couldn't hang on with 12.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,547 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    Top day out at the rugby. Great comebacks from Toulouse and Saints. Leeds were in control of the last game for the middle of the match. Great atmosphere for the first 2 matches. Brilliant fans. Pissed as farts and I didn't see any trouble all day.

    Drunk now but had a good walk home to sober up. Looking forward to tomorrow's matches.

    Got chatting to a stewart and he said he loves rugby because he gets to watch the games. Has to watch the fans at football to stop fights. Just a top atmosphere.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Well..............so much for my prediction of Dragons running away with it🤨 I honestly didn't think Warrington were that good this season........ paddy power must love me on a Friday evening.......easy money

    I didn't think they'd win that handily but didn't think Dragons should be anywhere near odds on.

  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    El duderino....... did you stay till the final whistle of the two 'Hulls' game??? I see the crowd had " thinned" right out for that game. Funnily enough, for the finale of the weekend it was a cracking game.....well done to FC. Both teams threw the kitchen sink in the 2nd half......an 11 try thriller. KR can hold their heads high after that 2nd half.....gave it everything



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,547 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    Yeah stayed till the bitter end. Great finish to the last game. The crowd had thinned and in fairness, the crowd was better on Saturday than Sunday. But the last 2 games were good.

    My mates were Huddersfield and Hull FC fans so today was their day. My FIL is saints so he was more into yesterday. Brilliant weekend all around.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,547 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    Our seats were right down by the pitch so we moved up into the stand for a better view. The stewards didn't really care where you sat.

    The ends were where the die hards were fpr each game Wigan at one end saints at the other and they gave great atmosphere.



  • Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Well, that was some trouncing Toulouse took at home from HullFC...... I was expecting a close hard-to-call kinda game with whoever won getting to the 80minute mark with rte bare minimum in hand. A 24point win for FC ?????? I DID NOT see that coming



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    The kind of game Toulouse needed to win really. Castleford haven't turned up in this game, Wakefield very comfortable first half.

    ANOTHER surprise this game........ I reckoned Castleford would've put Wakefield away without getting into top gear / so glad I didn't have a punt on this evening 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,064 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    About the only good thing to come out of this season is the banging throwback away shirt the London Broncos went for.

    RIP Rob Burrow, a proper legend of English Rugby League.

    MND truly is a hideous disease.
