NRL grand final, Sunday 9.30am.

Penrith v Parramatta

**davy67 +** · 02-10-2022 08:37 AM

Just watching those big hits in this final make by bones sore

***DaveF*** · 02-10-2022 08:59 AM

Penrith are brushing them aside at the moment, up 12-0 after 20mins.

**davy67 +** · 02-10-2022 09:06 AM

Very one sided so far 18-0 28 minutes played

***DaveF*** · 02-10-2022 02:51 PM

Penrith worthy champions with a totally dominant display. 2 late tries saved Parra from recording a blank.

Looking forward to the world cup now.

Well done to Swinton and Leigh yesterday on going up.

Wasn't too overly fussed on league 1 winners as both away trips are good. Be good to do train to Manchester then tram to sale for swinton though.

Leigh best team and Batley had no chance really.

Cougars have signed well so let's give the championship a go. Top 6 out the question? We shall see.

Glad to get last night out of the way really. Always a concern we’d fall at the final hurdle but in reality Leigh just did as professional a job as they have all season. Roll on Super League

Anyone else heading to the Scotland Italy game at Kingston Park tomorrow? Was at the England game today and they blew a very strong Samoa side away.

Sadly not because I’m working until dinnertime but will be watching on TV before going to the NZ v Lebanon game at Warrington

***DaveF*** · 15-10-2022 10:21 PM

Was hoping for closer games today but that's a statement win from England.

Can't make Scotland game tomorrow but will try to get to the game Vs Fiji (if they win tomorrow)

***HH81*** · 16-10-2022 10:45 AM

Not going to any world cup game. Went to a fair few last time out too. Just don't fancy it this time.

Hope Scotland do well though. Been to Kingston park a few times, decent venue.

You’ll get the spirit as the tournament goes on!

Tonga v PNG on Tuesday should be an absolute belter

I’ve got tickets for that Tonga game! Should be a right good game. Can’t wait

***DaveF*** · 16-10-2022 01:45 PM

Scotland try ruled out - after ridiculous amount of time to make the decision. An average start by both with handling errors all over the place.

***DaveF*** · 16-10-2022 02:22 PM

Scotland look pretty hopeless. Nothing at all in an attacking sense and now down to 12 for 10mins. Big 2nd half required.

***HH81*** · 16-10-2022 02:44 PM

Scotland not good enough.

0-18 Now, game over I reckon.

***HH81*** · 16-10-2022 02:49 PM

0-22. Rubbish.

***DaveF*** · 16-10-2022 02:51 PM

Very poor. Australia will take 100 off them.

***HH81*** · 16-10-2022 03:29 PM

Good to see Santi for Italy play well.

Bought him a drink at Cougar Park other weekz great lad.

I didn't know Scotland had a rugby league team. Is there a league set-up here or do the players come from clubs outwith Scotland?

Hazy memories of Grandstand showing rugby league matches on Saturday afternoons and quite enjoying them. Hull KR were one of the big guns IIRC.

Edinburgh Eagles are our local team I suppose but the format is difficult to follow (for me anyway) as they seem to play against regional teams from NE England. I think the Scottish League consisted of only 4 or 5 teams and I think Edinburgh dropped out of that to play more competitive matches (but I may be very wrong with that)

Lots of heritage players in the squad though there is one guy who plays union for Lasswade and League for Eagles.

Rob Burrow, Living with MND is on bbc2 just now and should be on iPlayer later.

It's a difficult watch. What a terrible disease MND is.

Its an absolutely awful condition , two of my pals both lost their dads to it , both of them fit and active guys before it struck watching their decline was terrible

**davy67 +** · 18-10-2022 07:37 PM

I was really disappointed with the performance of the Scottish team , they seem to have went back a fair bit recently

***DaveF*** · 18-10-2022 08:32 PM

Tonga 24 PNG 18 was a great watch.

Just back from the game. Great stuff. No letting up from either side. Thought PNG were unlucky really. Some effort

Told you it would be a good one! Thought PNG were really hard done to in the end. We were stood behind the sticks and, although we were cheering for PNG because of their three Leigh players, the atmosphere from the Tonga fans was something special.

Wales v Cook Islands for me tomorrow. Will be weird actually sitting at home on Thursday night (going to Australia v Scotland at Coventry on Friday though)
