How can that be Kev?

How can that be Kev?

I’m not sure Swannie, I’ll do some digging but I’ve just noticed only 2 of the last 8 fixtures are at home.

Cas linked with Russell Crowe as a major investor.

Now where have I heard that before?

shame. I was looking forward to the Jungle being renamed the Colosseum.

Expect some huge scores in the Challenge Cup this weekend.

I predicted well.

Expect another one at Featherstone tomorrow Swannie.

What great planning by the RFL, ensure every amateur club gets annihilated by SL opposition. It makes my blood boil.
As a player I never wanted to pit myself against superior professionals and get absolutely walloped, I knew my level and was comfortable at it. I remember playing in the Yorkshire Cup against Headingley who had at least four current internationals in their team - it was humiliating .
Okay, I get the argument that the money comes in useful, but most amateur rugby teams are probably better off financially than most professional teams, because they don’t pay players and they can’t operate with an outstanding debt. This is just another example of the authorities meddling with a system that has worked well for over a century.
Butt out RFL, and let Lady Luck determine the draw.

Ps. For the record, I expect Cas to struggle at Odsal this afternoon.

You probably know this anyway OB, but the game is on the BBC red button.

I’m watching it now, as you say, not expecting much.

My prediction: Wakefield to go all the way to Wembley this season. (Wembley is a far away land, Swanny, ask anybody over a hundred years old and they’ll tell you about the last time they went there, in charabancs, down the A1, when it was still a mud track.)

Right, that’s got that out of the way, I’m off to take my medication now.

Serious question Kev, why do you bother with the FA Cup games when the club hasn't taken it seriously for years....

Add Scotland RU into that mix and it’s one to forget for me too.

I think we are in the wrong thread for that one Swannie

However, as you know, I haven’t missed a home game now since 2011 and I want to keep that record going for as long as I can, which is why I attend all games, be they Carabao Cup or FA Cup.

There are additional reasons, it’s great to have a couple of pints with the lads and my Mrs likes me out of the house
