My wife is unaware at the moment but it's wall to wall RL possibly in our household stating Friday evening!

2 recorded games from the NRL, 2 Live from the NRL and the live "Magic" games until 8-0pm Sunday Night.

How can I break this gently to her?






Oh and game dosn't get enough TV coverage, not including the Dewsbury v Leigh game

How can you be married to someone who's not aware that it's 'magic' televised RL this weekend? Do you not talk or something?

Was saying on the Wigan board - 6 Live games Saturday back to back. Starting with NRL at 8:30am, finishing 9pm with just 25 mins break at half 12!

You poor fools obviously chose unwisely.

What you want is a lass who, upon seeing the Sky Sports viewing lists the other night, got a little excited and said, "oooh there's rugby on all weekend! Fab!"


I'm playing RL on Sat pm but apart from that it'll be a bit of recording on the V+ box, NRL on the laptop, a crate (or two) of beer, several bottles of wine (for 'er indoors), a few pizzas and a big session at the gym on Tuesday.

If anyone knows a Woman who would not mind watching Rugby from Friday night to Sunday evening could they let me know and i will see if i can make an exchange on my current model.

I don't think we're that rare a breed!

To be fair, I doubt my missus would have a clue that it was ‘Magic’ weekend, or even what that means.

To ask a man if he ever talks to his wife is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read on a message board!

Every married man knows that the answer is no - as you can’t possibly get a word in edgeways.

My wife's also in for a nasty shock too.

Well I am of the fairer sex (!) and I can't wait for this weekends rugby fest to begin!! I believe there is also the added bonus of Trent Barrett featuring in one of the Saturday games! Will just have to juggle the teeny housework jobs into the half time/full time slots. May burn the pizzas though

Or does the shock come when she's planned a nice long weekend of shopping and days out and you're taking her!!

Biggest shock to me is, your married

Promise her a magic weekend, let her get her hopes up and when the weekend comes park yourself in front of the telly.

Me and my dad have it spot on. Drive up to my aunties house and stay there for the weekend, drive accross to murrayfield for the day and leave the mother and her sister to shop, jobs a good un'.

Its the other way round in our house. My hubby can't stand RL. Being from Manchester he's a Football fairy. We've been together 10 years, in all that time I have managed to drag him kicking & screaming to only 2 SL games. The first he left before the kick off & the second was Rich Hornes testimonial where he just sat drinking coffee for the whole game, didn't stand up or shout once.
Strangely he will come along and watch my brother play amateur RL.
It drives me mad

Well I know someone but she's probably only good enough for a one night stand

I presume that you are sharing the driving to and from Murrayfield. You drive there, she drives back. No beer otherwise.

The bigger shock will be when the wife gets home on bank hol monday and she's been cocked more times than John Waynes gun

Tanya Arnold?

Ah crap, you said woman...

That sounds better than RL.

Rugby League was the grounds I found for leaving my only job so far in my life. I couldn’t watch Leeds take on Saints in Italy so I came home.

rugby league overkill.

I like watching my team, and I like watching attractive games (big team v big team) but who the f*ck wants to watch warrington v salford? apart from the fans of the respective clubs.

not me, no sir.

You fail at life.

Rugby league should be something you enjoy in your leisure time.

It shouldn't [ibe[/i your life.

...as he said, he quit his job and now has loads of leisure time


Looking forward to league overload this weekend.....

More like only good enough for a quickie while your waiting for your turn to get a pie from the pie shop.

1 hole night would be just too long !

My wife will watch thursdays game and then travel on sat for 4 games, then watch 3 games on sunday.

The down side is she wants Cameron Smith to move in and me to move out, but you can't have it all.

Well i'm loving the fact that there is RL all weekend, i'm off to sunny Scotland with my fella on friday and we will be watching all seven games, roll on the weekend
