Play nicely, wonder if this one will take almost 2 years to reach 1000 like the last one...

Leeds union have won 1 out of 7 and Sale 2 out of 7. It isn't going to be the best of spectacles.

My brother also got free tickets. Were yours through Leeds Met LFC?

He went to a club night/pub crawl set up by the rugby union club some time around easter this year and has been offered free tickets for every home game this year as he put his name and details down when he registered.

Rhinos ST holders are invited along to matches every now and then for free, the match against Sale is one of them!

Thats how I got mine may aswell use them you never know I might even get to see a try

.............................on second thoughts

Looks like even the Union press are turning on the code:

May I suggest dropping the flankers from the game, getting rid of the ruck that is causing some much trouble and introduce a "play the ball" and limited the number of tackles to 6 before turning over the ball as a start?

One of a number of articles that have come out saying more or less the same thing. Twickenham still keeps selling out though which has finally convinced me that what goes on in the boxes and car parks at a union game is far more important than events on the field.

what a clever try there by steven jones

And they reckon the All Blacks are the cream.....

My goodness me, if only the administrators of RL had something even approaching a clue about promotion and expansion. Applying whatever criteria you want, this is f***ing s***e!

Not going to the freebie game tmora now I couldnt be assed going on the website and putting in my ST number in time





Going to watch someone do a charity run instead seems more appealing

Well, you'll at least see a bit of running then.

Aye





and I will definately see some athletes rather than this

Just watching a Spanish league game live on TVE (BBC) sport channel. The game is awful with knock ons and kicking galore, but there must be around a 1,000 at the match and it's live on national tv.

As a rugby league I can't help but think '[iIf only![/i'
