...that Shaun Tully (Anthony Cotton) off Coro was a Wakey fan?! I ambushed him for a Photo in Fox's bar today, rather foolishly saying, and assuming that he lived in a small suburb of Manchester called Wetherfield, that he'd be a Wigan fan...I support Wakefield he says, looking quite offended. Sorry Anthony. Celeb support now...what next?!!

Isn't he Keenan's friend, so I'd imagine he'd automatically support Wakey.

Yes he is Keegan's friend. Been tweeting about Wakey all season.

I see. Anyway I am now the toast of my Coro loving family and friends

Nice one. I'm on the fleecebook but not a tweetster. Happy times at BV

I'm afraid that I don't watch the rubbish, it's my daughter who mentioned it and also had a photo with him

“No nudie run for @KeeganHirst! He climbed into bed this morning and said “I need to score today”. He was scared! Don’t tell him I told you ” Antony tweeted this after today’s game..

When I say that she's always got an headache

He's a genuinely nice chap. Spoke to him a couple of times at other events, he does loads for SSAFA and it seems he's been a big support for Hirst over the past couple of years.

I'm proper made up for Hirst though for scoring that last minute try, the whole team were trying so hard to get him over the line

why couldn't he do that every time he has the ball

, well done Keegan

Highlight of the for me. Showed real team spirit - even CC and JK looked delighted.

Actually took some creating, was a good try.

Watched the game back this morning - the noise from the North stand was so loud, sounded like 10 thousand were in there!

imagine if we had a full stadium, where are them stay away fans at a time when the club need them

Crowds will increase but its a slow process, the product on the pitch is attactive attacking rugby not based on the endless years of Aussie defensive drills first. We have had loads of bad press over the years so building up trust etc. Takes time. MC & CB are well on the way with this. There is apathy in the game, I do not have sky and barely hear anything about the game unless I come on here or social media. Back to my first point Chessy and the staff have built a great attacking team that will only get better, the likes of Hull Cas ourselves and Leeds play more attacking styles compare that to the dross served up by Wigan yesterday, wrestling and niggling away, the legacy of structures put in by their previous Aussie coach that Wane was assistant to and tipped to go to Wire. Quite frankly the British style of rugby is much better to watch sadly we have an Aussie coach in charge of the National team so we play the Aussie way, we will win nothing at that level, the UK game needs to play to its strengths. Good on Powell, Chester and Radford. The fans will return playing the brand we have now adopted.

Aussie game built on defence I thought the way to win is to out score the opposition and lets not forget sport is entertainment for the masses!

I absolutely couldn't agree with this more. I find Aussie rugby boring most of the time tbh.

Both thoroughly nice blokes. Got a few mates in Batley and we went for a few beers before setting off to Leeds Cas match last year. He (Keegan) came in straight after a game with Antony and both were more than happy to take pics sign autographs etc. From what ive seen he's looked a good signing for you guys , is he signed up for next year ?

That's a good question. I don't think anyone knows yet but I think most would want him to.

It was mentioned at awards night that they were looking forward to working with Keegan next season.

On balance I'd offer him another year - think he's done well. Lets not get carried away he hasn't the ability of Fifita, Huby or England. He's a big lad though and in a war of attrition he's useful to have around.

A bit O/T here but Huby was fantastic with one of our group yesterday, the kids only ten year old, CH was on his way down the tunnel at the end of the game, he turned to CH and asked for his shorts, he said he'd be back out in five minutes, I thought, ah well the kid tried. Minutes later he was back out, came looking for the kid, took his shorts off and gave him the shorts and one of his boots. The kid was chuffed to bits. Great thought from Craig.

That in a nutshell encapsulates why I love Rugby League and the overwhelming majority of people in the game. None of this soccer player prima donna stuff. Can you imaging the crowd at a football ground being invited onto the pitch at the end of the game to talk to their heroes? See any of the lads around town and as long as you are not being intrusive they are quite happy to pass the time of day they don't seem to walk round with headphones on or be on a 'fake' call on their mobile to avoid talking to you.

One of the many nice things I saw yesterday came from one of the players I least expected it to come from. Tomkins booted the ball out hard from the in-goal area into the crowd to stop a try. The first thing he did was head over to the fence and apologised to the fans for kicking the ball at them (obviously it was unintentionally at them)

Massive kudos to him for doing that as he'd been getting some stick from the Northstand before that. He's gone up in my estimations for that as the vast majority of away players do their best to ignore the home fans

Tbf to kh its is first season in sl so well played KH

I agree. The only thing he lacks for me is experience.
He's a great metre gainer and fits our style.
He's an obvious choice and will only get better.

I think this statement about the Aussie game, sums up why Salford signed Hasson.
You put him on the field and he'll do you 50 tackles, he won't break many tackles and offers nothing off the bench.
He's a good defensive tackling player, his stats made him look better than what is suited to the British game.
