| Quote ="Slugger McBatt"To put him into context, the top try scorer this year was Tom Johnstone with 27. The team that scored the most goals was Catalans, with 116.
So. you'd have to burst onto the scene at 17, be the top try scorer every year, also be the kicker, as well as in the team that scores the most goals, keep that up until you were 34, season after season, never have a long injury spell, and you'd still be 500 short.'"
Great stats. In summary........unbeatable.

And Fox's tries were only worth 3 points, not 4 as in the modern game.

To put it more realistically, if Danny Maguire had Kevin Sinfield's boot, he'd still be a thousand short.'"
Put another way, have a twenty year career playing thirty games a season and score ten points every game and you'd still come up two hundred and twenty points short.

He's always quite measure and dignified. Doesn't slag players off and just talks quietly about the game.
Brookey who usually stands right behind him on the other hand can call a play two play the balls before it happened. Very astute guy.

Well last season it was easy 1) take the ball up 2) drop the ball. That would cover most of the plays last season.

| That would be 1) run the ball in take the tackle 2) quick play the ball, pass it out wide to get a two on one to score.

| Dont know who Architect was but seating gradient should have been steeper, Alf would have done a much better job.

| They have to allow for the age of some of our supporters because it would take them the majority of the game to reach the seats at the back if the steps were steeper.

It's always a good laugh watching folk struggle up and down the stairs at the O2 Arena.

Yes I have often wondered how many they would lose if the full arena is open.

Its only a minor gripe but I think its a shame for the sake of a few degrees how much closer you would be, all to do with pitch and go-in with steps. The stand looks amazing from the road though.

| Think the trouble with been old in a stand with steep sets, is you feel when on the way down as though you are falling forwards , Plus you have younger people moving faster than you. I just go for a seat, on the end ,even.though I sit away from my son and mates .Not having a go at any one, just the fun of getting old

I'm sure Carter said they were putting a lift in.
Not sure whether spectators can use it but you'd think so.

| There are minimum tread depths as far as I understand so the steeper rake means you end up being higher rather than closer.

| Can’t wait to have my plonked in there next year with my kids, couldn’t bring them last year at the risk of the social services getting involved in subjecting them to watching that.

How did the kids think we felt?
We adults should have all been sectioned under the mental health act for going to watch that....

Looking at the attached photo of Neil Fox super-imposed in front of his new stand, it looks as though they have sign-written the parapet already, unless it's just been photo-shopped ??
Anyone able to confirm ??

| Reckon that's photo shot. Would think it will be in the middle when done. That looks as though it is shown on one side to show the photo
