Nil - 6 to pies.

I don't think we have played a single game this season with even half the intensity of this.
A reflection of just how poor we've been.

Thugs at it again. Dirty pies

try telling these 2 teams about dead rubbers(both in the semi`s)plenty of passion being shown by both teams...

SirAM I'm cashing out again. Draw half time and both teams to win
Stains 20/1 Pies 22/1. @£10

Not a dead rubber. Saints can get 2nd cos Leeds were beat. Pies can win hub because Leeds got beat.

Remember 1 and 2 get home semi final draws.

Saints can also win the hub.

just waiting for the flying doughnut or what ever hes called to come on spouting how games were better last season..

Thanks bww

Did you read my original post when I spoke about the number of dead rubbers...?

I mentioned this game and the Leeds Huddersfield game were the only realistically non dead rubber games.........

hate to tell i told you so ...... but i told you so......

maybe Leeds will lose next week to Huddersfield and will be suitably rewarded for losing four matches on the bounce...by a juicy semi final of the league's premier competition........

too much sugar on your donuts pal.....

we`ll agree to disagree mate..been fun this debate

Matty Bowen Jesus Wept.........what a shocker

After you, Claude.

I say, you absolute CAD.

I WAS GOING TO CATCH THAT, YOU BOUNDER. NOW YOU'VE MADE ME LOOK DAMNED FOOLISH.

SCOUNDREL

how cringewothy are sky..i mean an interview with mcmanus..when was the last time one of the suits got interviewed after a game...then to cap it all they spoke to giggs...what ever next

'twas truly horrific.

Disturbing viewing, indeed

Sky turned that into a RL equivalent of Hello/OK.

We've watched a great game. We don't need the opinions of a "celebrity" on a freebie, when only RL fans will be watching.

DESPERATE

As the RUWC gets underway, Sky had one of the biggest names in sport heaping praise onto our sport. Don't be so melodramatic!

.....and no-one (bar RL watchers) would've seen it.

Preaching to the converted.
It was vomit inducing. I hate these stage managed interviews with "celebrities in the crowd". What was the Family Man expected to say? "I'm only here, 'cause I was promised a few pints and a meal. There's bob all on the tele, and I had nowt else better to do, and some fella with white eyebrows gave me a ticket". I've seen it done before with Stuart Pearce, Alex Stewart, Joey Barton and many others. Just embarrassing.

I don't do punditry/post match interviews, but I caught this when I'd walked back into the room, and started channel hopping. It merely enforced my views on the subject.

Cracking game. I'd like to see them meet again in the semi, would be even more intense.

I didn't see it, but I assume from the above posts you're talking about Ryan Giggs? If so he's a well known RL fan who played as a kid and whose dad played professionally, so I hardly see the problem.

He supports Salford so probably wanted to watch a decent match for a change.

He's a Wigan fan just like Ratchford.

Why does he support Wigan when his Dad played for Salford? Or have you just made that up?

His dad (Danny Wilson) played for Swinton! He never played for Salford!

According to this [url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/soccer-legend-ryan-giggs-pays-696873Article[/url, Giggs is a 'lifelong' Wigan fan.

Regardless or who he supports, he is a well known RL fan with a clear background in the sport so he's not just some celebrity Sky pulled in for no reason. The likes of him and Bradley Wiggins - well known sporting figures far more famous than any rugby player - should be embraced by the RFL and RL media wherever possible.
