Off Topic HKR Having a fantastic day

Hull KR prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves will be eligible for Saturday's Super League Grand Final against Wigan Warriors after the club successfully appealed his three-match ban.

 

**** me, that is a surprise. But a welcome one, he's got a good history of winning trophies. Just hope he doesn't overdo the effort and get red carded.

 

Well deserved, keeping it from last season. He'll be going for his hat trick next season.

Only down about the awards is Jake Conner getting man of steel. I really ****ing dislike that bloke and not because he's ex-FC, he's such a ****.

 

Man of Steel crying after Leeds lost to Saints a couple of weeks ago!

TBH I think its a bit of a millstone around a players neck for the following season .

 

I did have a little laugh when he cried.

 

Chatting to a chap in the gym today about that Aussie grand final...Melbourne vs Brisbane....According to him a lot of the top Aussie players are not coming here for the three test series vs England....Is this correct? And why? Are England so crap, that the second Aussie string will hammer them?

 

I don't know anything about it.
What makes you think the Aussie second string is gonna hammer us? Or the first string for that matter.

 

Probably More hope than Think

 

Because they have better players. End of...However I wouldn't be surprised if England win the second test, so there is more interested for the 3rd test, then Australia win easily. Like they've done a few times before.

 

I’ve met Jake on a few occasions through mutual friends and I can assure you he’s nothing like the character you see on the pitch, he’s a decent bloke and a good laugh.

I’m sure people who’ve met Mikey would say the same, yet he gets his fair share of hate for his on the field antics.

 

I think you’d have to start looking at the Aussie 3rd or 4th string before you start to give England a chance, they’re just better in every department.

It depends how seriously they take it when they get here, if it’s just a month long piss up for them then England have a chance, if they turn up and play properly it will be an absolute mauling.

An interesting write up

 

Just watched 'Leonard' on Look North, he's flown in from Sydney to watch tomorrow's match, he looks like he smuggled his wife in under his shirt too.

 

he came for the final last year too, originally from east hull, my mum thinks she remembers from school…”he was a fat ****er then too”

 

The Grand Final is this evening.
I believe Wigan start as favourites but I have a feeling Rovers may do it although it will be close.
Rovers by four points is my prediction.

 

Will be looking for a bet on under 30 points total, maybe even 25... it'll be won by 4 max... come on Rovers, break the cycle, make Sky commentary squirm...

 

You could be right TC after the last few games. According to Dull Daily, "Three of the last five Grand Finals have seen 12 points or fewer scored, including last year’s low-scoring showdown"

 

Hope you're right Vern, it's a fact I won't be watching it.

 

You sure its not Gavin Miller?
TBH...Any excuse to make the Miller joke....Q. What do Gavin Miller and Jesus Christ have in common?
A. Both pissed off at Easter.
