The icons I can live with. The forced, unannounced restart whilst I was neck deep forecasting with half a dozen spreadsheets open, less so. Exacerbated by the upload sticking on 98% for 5 minutes when I needed to join a meeting 😡

Would they reach Mars?

…League in the UK is played in a region decimated by over a decade of austerity, in a country struggling to fund essential services, contending with the behemoth of the EPL. Contrast to Aus where the game dominates as the number 1 sport in thriving cosmopolitan cities. There simply is no comparison

For me the only flaw in an otherwise solid (if unspectacular) match presentation. Totally unnecessary - you could see in the crowd reactions to player announcements there was only a slight Leeds bias in the level of support, which was great & as it should be an international level.

Yeah, the coat came off straight after this pic until the second half. The hat wasn't needed either, but I kep it on to avoid any risk of being mistaken for a local ;-)

If anyone’s bothered, QR on the phone is fine 😊

...them or not (is "Print at home" just a misnomer?).

I *think* I'm OK to just the QR on my phone, but I'd be a bit more reassured by this vital piece of info being confirmed; there's nothing on the RFL's 'Fan Guide' though 🤷‍♂️

...I might have missed it in the deluge of mails I've had from RLC recently, but it's a bit odd that I've had no 'x days to go' note with instructions as you normally get for events. Whilst I've now managed to download tickets, I can't find details anywhere on whether I need to physically print...

Bloody Aussie-isms taking over even then. He was a loose forward for heaven's sake...

They were getting value out of him: Gomersall reffed the GB-NZ series that was on at the time (he did the 2nd and 3rd tests either side of this midweek match)

Please share if and when you find it!! :-)

Why?!? If you’re going to get so close to playing a proper game, why not just do it?!

Saves me a job inputting the details at least!

Sadly I’d say my team (Warrington) are the worst in the league for it. It’s a horrible look; I agree it should be an automatic penalty. England players asking for 10 minutes for Walsh for the high shot on Young in the first half too 😡

...Despite what I consider to be a significant deterioration in standards in SL, we should recognise that the game over here is still producing some of the best rugby players in the world: I could name several from yesterday, but Knowles deserves singling out for an exceptional performance.

...for refs would be a start), and focusing on how to encourage open attractive play should, IMHO, be a priority for all involved. Instead, we'll probably get endless debate about competition structures, potential NRL ownership, and who should pay air fares to France.
I'll end on a positive tho...

...recall players appealing for infringements against them at EVERY ruck in the past, or looking to game every situation; it's a bi-product of 'professionalism' for sure, and honestly I don't know what the solution is. But stripping some things back to their core (getting rid of off-field 'help'...
