You were fighting back tears typing that weren’t you

This old man, he told me, Shaun Edwards has got........ that song?

I as a thinking more about the one which rhymes with Banker. Pretty sure Andy Greg got it too, even after he’d signed with us.

To me how the south stand sang about an opposition player told me if they were any good or not.

I was thinking exactly the same thing when watching that!

I was impressed by the thoroughness of the medical. In some ways asking if everything was ok was a way to check the honesty of the player as the medical staff would know from what they see and feel.

With this type of medical in place we won’t sign any duds from a physical perspective.

Quite true. I remember Andy Farrell being subject to that particular chant frequently during a game at Headingley. I can’t remember the reason why but for that fixture the away team used the South Stand changing rooms. Anyway, as was going down the tunnel at the end that chant was being aimed at him, his response was to clap the south stand. The chanting stopped and he was then clapped off instead of being chanted at. My estimations of him slightly went up at that moment.

There was quite a bit of self-certification in there really, but I would think contractually the club has a legal position if a player declares fitness in an area which they turn out not to be down the line. It's all for insurance and legal stuff. Did look very thorough though!

Good interview with Gale and the Postman on Proper Sport FB page.

The latter really is a self absorbed, egotistical, arrogant piece of work.

He's an agent what else would you expect?

He's not done too bad with a top class coach and halfback partner.

To be fair, in a team who look bang up for it and on top of their game, he still looked like he couldn't be bothered.

Tubby Tui going to old Trafford. Funny old game

Watching Tui has started to annoy me now - plain lazy. He tackled most things he had to but otherwise avoided the play as much as he could. Can’t do with that.

Nice to see Gale in commentary. Long wait for us to kick off again next year but really looking forward to seeing 2020 Leeds.

Yep. He’s one who can coast along in a team that is on top. However will not be a dominant half or provide anything more than bit part plays.

I didn't realise it was that many mate but I'll take your word for it as its fairly irrelevant.
The point being he never got any where near his 2017 form and some Cas fans were questioning whether he should be in the team.

I believe there are add on's mate depending on how many games he plays next season.

The knee clash caused the original injury but Cas risked him in the semi against Wigan and he got a bang on the same spot and aggravated made it much worse. Matt Crowther (Cas head of physio) explained how bad it was and how hard Luke had worked to get back to fitness only to be hit with the ruptured achilles.

I think he only did it the once and that was against you. Tale was Luke and McShane were huge fans of Connor Magregor and had a bet who ever scored first would do the Magregor swagger

Blimey. Have you just come out of a coma and are catching up?

Slightly OT, but good luck to Aibigail Irozuru in the world athletics champs tonight. A brief retirement following a tear then a rupture of the same Achilles hasn't stopped her from qualifying for the women's long jump final, an event that I suspect must test such an injury to a greater degree than anything Gale's likely to encounter in rugby league. Other than bad luck, of course.

No just got internet back. LOL
