Quote ="old frightful"On Saturday, in the south of France, Catalans and Hull KR had just run out onto the pitch. Our hero Gwillum spoke confidently into his microphone...
"And the teams have run out and are lining up in the middle of the pitch for the National Anthem. I don't know who's singing it but we'll get the nod from the PA system."
In the background, everything went quiet but, ever the professional, Gwillum soldiered on...
"We'll have post match reaction from Richard Agar at Salford at half time plus an interview with Justin Morgan after this match finishes."
Still a deathly hush from the Stade Gilbert Brutus....
"Well I don't know what's happening, perhaps the PA has packed in, nobody seems to be singing the National Anthem..."
Then in the background, a referee's whistle is heard, followed by a great cheer from the crowd, and Chris Park's voice is suddenly heard drifting onto the microphone..
"It was a minute's silence Gwillum"....'"
Didn't he also say something along the lines of 'we'd better be quiet for the French national anthem, they're very passionate about it, I can feel the glares of the french crowd already' ... or something like that... haha they were probably glaring at his mouth jibber-jabbering away, what a 24 carat plonker!
