have you not seen my other posts today?

comedy genius mode im in today

I've just seen the "robin" reference to the st helens spotlight and did chuckle so i'll give yer that!

Andy, they always go from there for Elland Road and have done for as long as I can remember. It is so they can turn right by KMPG and come back round under the arches to pick up again.

I know, I was responding to what turned out to be an attempt at humour from Loz.

Arghh, sorry, now don't I look like the nob!

Yeah thats what I thought. The special service moved for the WCC though didn't it, is it back under the train station?

They always run from Sovereign Street.

Yeah they did for the last WCC but they used to pick up on Neville Street the times before that. The former does make more sense though.

Picked up on Sovereign Street for the last two Tri-Nations finals at Elland Road as well didn't they?

England: S Briscoe, P Fox, C Bridge, M Shenton, R Hall, S Tomkins, K Eastmond, A Morley, K Sinfield, J Graham, J Peacock (capt), G Ellis, S Burgess.

Interchange: J Roby, E Crabtree, B Westwood, J Wilkin.

Australia: B Slater, J Hayne, G Inglis, J Hodges, B Morris, D Lockyer (capt), J Thurston, B Hannant, C Smith, P Civoniceva, L Lewis, P Gallen, N Hindmarsh.

Interchange: D Shillington, S Thaiday, A Watmough, K Gidley, M Jennings, B White (two to be omitted)

Referee: L Williamson (New Zealand)
Video Referee: Phil Bentham (England)

Not much to say about either side really. Given that they are all past fit that side, with the possible exception of maybe Wilkin, had to be picked!

No idea, didn't go to either.

I do know that Is the same 17 for saturday at Elland road.

Think we will get beat by at least 18 points easy!

Nice to see a neutral referee appointed but would have preferred Ganson to Bentham for the video, just for the look on the Aussies face after the last World Cup.

What ? No McGuire?

Bye, Bye Lee Smith.

See you soon back in league hopefully. Probably not at Leeds though.

"When I was young, and at the bar........"

It appears there are two blocks of the upper tier open.

Strange if the lower tier isn't sold out.

Looking at the Super League website, just L36 and L44 have been opened at the moment, id have thought that it would have been better to open the two middle blocks. Priced at £30/£15

Brilliant news however.

Looking at tickets in the top tier and already you cannot buy 4 together in L36

It could be that when people call they are not buying tickets at all because all the £20 tickets are gone, so better to sell them a ticket rather than not one at all. Not sure I would have just bitten the bullet and just opened the top-tier at £20 a ticket and filled from the middle. If they only sell half off it out who is going to stop them all moving seats to the middle anyway?

Mine have come BTW... post man did not turn up until 1.00pm so was on verge of calling RFL!

Apparently only 600 tickets remained before they opened the 2 blocks of the top tier.

It'll be funny to hear Lee Smith talk about having achieved all he wanted in league and wanting the challenge of Union after his farewell performance for England....

Seriously I hope he comes back too, and signs for someone as a fullback. Whether that's us or not doesn't really matter, I'd just like to see how good he actually over time is in what is undoubtedly his best position.

So that is 33k plus crowd already then!

It'll be good to get people on seats for an international again. The game really needs England to competye at the very least. Last time we got a big crowd for an international in this country it all went very, very wrong. We don't need another big anticlimax.

Less than 2'000 tickets remaining for the game! www.totalrl.com/index.php?showtopic=193154
