My dad continues to delight in showing his driving licence whenever ID is needed and watching the consternation on the face of the other person when they ask him firstly why there's no photo on it and secondly why there's no postcode after his address. When he tells them it was issued before postcodes it simply seems to confuse them further.

According to twitter rob fit and starting in final ,

As others have indicated (!) t would be a shame is a bloke called Burrows took the place of the most excellent Rob Burrow. Perhaps the mods can edit the thread title?

I thought we'd now excused the misspelling of Burrows, Magwire, Peecock etc. and taken it as read that some folk just can't spell (or be bothered going to the Rhinos website and looking up how to spell a players name cause they're lazy b'stards).

If Wellar Haraki had an easier name to remember to spell I'd like him at least 6.5 times more.

it's eadier thn Ali's other name (the ex Leeds player now at Wakey, not the boxer)

Alaimatagi Lauiti’iti

Cool name for a cool dude.

Who has just been given another year at Wakefield, whilst his very, very disappointing replacement here is rumoured to be headed to Cas.

Hindsight etc but I do so wish we could have seen Ali retire a Rhino.

Was always his natural replacement, they both have 'funny' names.

Hindsight indeed. It seemed a good move for all parties at the time. In hindsight maybe not so good for us. I am genuinely pleased for Ali that he's still fit and seems to still be enjoying his rugby though.

I should have clarified. hindsight is only for those who don't possess my absolute wisdom. I didn't like the move at the time.

It's somewhat otiose to type that I have been proven right.

Eastwood was good in theory too.

Ali was always going to be big boots to fill. Did anyone honestly think his replacement would fill them? Having said that with Ali's game you'd be struggling anyway.

Getting through the games and gametime. Kudos to the big man with the smile.

Weller weller weller huh? Tell me more

I'm sure Wakefield existed prior to the invention of postcodes and the postcode test

I'm a big fan of the NRL and I watch a lot of games over there. Haven't got a specific team which I support, though there are some teams I have a preference for above others. No jumping aboard bandwagons for me - just an appreciation of the game played at a much higher level of skill and intensity.

I'm sure it did.
I can see Simon Scharma had better watch out, he has historian competition.

It's Schama.

Why change the habit of a lifetime.

You made an astute call on Lauiti'iti - supported by some stats regarding his alleged recurring injury problems which appeared relatively unsupported by his record of availability.

Could have been pushing his claim for one of those rare Leeds Testimonial thingies had he been allowed to stick around as he is doing to great effect at Belle Vue - or whatever it's called these days.

Not quite LS10 but it's ok i'm use to you being wrong, and secondly who said i was accusing YOU of being a Aussie bandwagoner? Calm your guilty conscious and hypocritical self down, because isn't the reasons you give about wanting to watch higher skill valid for say a preference of watching Leeds over the likes of Hunslet and Bramley etc. Now sure it might not match the NRL but what you see at Headingley is above what you'd see at John Charles Stadium.
As for me when i get my mail in the post it reads 'LEEDS' on it therefore i'm from Leeds and shall support Leeds and i might live in one area but i have strong connections to many parts of Leeds ranging from North, South, East and West so i truely feel like i am a Leeds lad and not restricted to one postcode.

No, no you can't just go and support any team you want willie-nillie - Hell no. You have to support the nearest team to the post code of your current residence/place of birth.

Why?

Because some bloke on the internet you've never met says so.
