G1 and I are good for restaurant and other NYC recommends... more than happy to post if you would like Wheels. Either way, have a good one in my favourite city.

[url=http://viewtopic.php?f=17&t=443619&start=36Excellent thank you very much, I'll direct you to my thread then...[/url

No problem... I like the personal thread business. I think I should get one... but not sure anyone would visit, but what the hell!

All the cool kids have one.

And you.

Don't be hatin Big Tony... Doesn't look good on you.

Three of his first five SL appointments last season ended in major shocks that warranted a raised eyebrow or two but since then the results have fallen into line.

13-Apr-09 ..... SL 14-09 ..... Leeds 20 Salford 30 ..... James Child
17-May-09 ..... SL 14-13 ..... Bradford 24 Celtic 30 ..... James Child
03-Jul-09 ..... SL 14-19 ..... Salford 20 St Helens10 ..... James Child

I have no issues with him...... yet.




I hope the two ref solution stays down under.

I was not at the Leeds v Salford game for some reason... can't remember why now, so can't comment but if you have no issues yet, we will go with that. Lets see what happens on Sunday at Belle Vue!

.......and no doubt does.

Hmm, undecided as yet, need to see more Aussie games on TV first, but I do see the big hand of fate looming over the two ref system and SL!

isnt it great how aussie refs can't handle a game on their own, but the aussies will insist on their own refs to referee on their own in test matches and the WCC.

O/T on this thread but speaking of which I wonder which SL official will get the WCC this year?

Leeds game, played in Leeds, why can't we have a Leeds referee, it's just not fair.

Sinfield

Guys just to give you a heads up, it's 20 quid on the day but save yourself a little moan and two quid by prepurchasing a ticket for 18 quid!

That two quid could get you a pint!

Thanks, Rhinoms has posted a link to the club website and they are pushing this also (they also note that if we buy from Headingley the club gets 10%!).

A pint yes possibly, but definitely not in any ground!

Rob Burrow in tonight's YEP Online:

[i"Wakefield are going to be confident, they are top of the table and have won their opening two games. =#FF0000We have been there and been beaten in the past, so we know that we will have to be at the top of our game or we will struggle."[/i

That must be 'we' as in Leeds RL as it isn't an experience any of the current playing squad have endured. Extending that thought to the coaches, Cummins may have been on junior forms though as a just turned sweet sixteen.

21st October 1992 Wakefield 17 Leeds 16

A think, given last Friday, and how well Wakey played against us (and in general) last year I agree with the sentiment he is trying to give out, so we can maybe excuse him the facts... however, I am sure Bluey will remind them of this fact, as well as the fans!

maybe he meant top of the table after two games? have we lost our third game of the season recently
or could be a missing comma?

I think he may be mixing up our reasonably occasional SL victories at Headingley with games at BV. Some have been very close but no cigar.

In 1992 I was 29 I'm now 46!!! A whole generation has come along since we last beat you at BV, and tbh I can't see that changing. Like death and taxes it's seems almost inevitable.

This should be a cracking game - provided Child can keep control

Wakey look like they a serious pack and some nimble half backs - looking forward to it - snow permitting

One thing is for sure the pitch will be better than the cow field at Headingley

It is the best pitch in SL for me by a mile... they might even take the grass with them to Stanley!

Leeds did start 2007 like that but they weren't top as Bradford had a superior points difference.

Likewise 2006 but this time Leeds were 4th on points difference (behind St Helens, Hull and Salford) after two rounds.

The last season that matches - top of the table after two and losing the third - was 2001, Burrow made his debut three weeks later.

In any case it'd be Wakefield rather that Leeds who would have to be on their mettle in that instance so I'm not sure I follow the logic of that possible interpretation.

Just discovered an issue with this Child referee.

Leeds have never won with him and Wakefield have never lost with him in the SL Regular Rounds.

Half his twelve outings have featured Celtic/Crusaders and the rest are typically top V bottom. The one time he was given a competitive looking match up was probably his debut between Wakefield and Les Catalans and he came close to losing control of that IIRC.

Do you think I should send my tickets back then and stay warm and possible dry?
