When Saints scored their second try they nearly creamed themselves. Then got all giddy thinking that it was given they’d score two more and win it. Sit down and behave yourself. It was never, ever going to happen and they got nowhere near achieving it.
The bias comes from people like Wilkin who had years at St H ….despite the fact that he was given his chance at Rovers.
City win Rovers win My mate tells me he has won Sky’s vip tickets for next Saturday. And he is driving us there Win win win .
Traitor from Thorngumbald, and to think I knew his dad Terry at Bransholme High...I'll have a word if I see him.
Just a kid of 14 or 15. I'm, sure he lived in the Sutton or Ings Road area or thereabouts. In the year above me, but we'd often have a brief chat in the bike sheds. He had a Claude Butler. I liked Terry. He liked a good laugh and was a great lad, and probably still is...
Aye - stopped at Huddersfield services on way back at just before 9 and booked mine as soon as they opened - checked all the sections this morning and except for the odd seat they'd all gone
I like Wilkin as a pundit and to be fair i don’t think he was biased towards Saints yesterday. It was the bloke who was co commentating that was gagging for Rovers to slip up. The yellow card was a blatant as you’ll see but he was having non of it, I think it was Jon Wells. At least Wilko had the sense to say it was a yellow all day long.
I know nothing about KR, so have no idea if this is a big deal or not... Jared Waerea-Hargreaves looks to have played his last-ever game of professional rugby league after being denied the opportunity to go out on a fitting stage with a Grand Final appearance. The 36-year-old veteran Hull KR prop will bring the curtain down on an incredible career this season, but now looks to have already played his last game after being banned by the RFL disciplinary panel from the Grand Final against Wigan Warriors.
He's a regular visitor to the sin bin and is retiring at the end of the season. It would've been nice for him to bow out in style but with his style of play. he can't really be surprised. Rovers will miss him in the Final but they'll have it covered. Both Clubs are selling tickets well and are expecting to break the current record of 72,000+.
This was mentioned over a month ago, it was all up in the air then. It shouldn't effect his Rovers role or duties, it's in the close season and I should imagine they've took it into account and worked round it. Not a bad thing, it's giving Rovers a bit of prestige I suppose them choosing him.
