HKR v Leigh was billed as a potential 'giant killing act' on RH.
I couldn't even point Leigh out on a map. Giant killing my harse.
anyway I thought HKR were 'the Manchester United of RL' ?

 

RL doesn't have an even, level, playing field.

Well, not at the end of a game. The pitch is well lumpy and very not even.

 

I never know if the rugby teams are playing unless I read it on here. I have never been to a rugby game though the Neices have and they say its boring and neither go since they started going to City. One of my uncles use to be Hull FC mad.

 

I couldn't point out their top clubs like Wigan & St Helens on a map let alone Leigh, does anyone know where St Helens is??

 

I passed the turn off to St Helens on M62.
Its Past Manchester .

 

Kempton Snr went to a rugby game at Boothferry Park, I told him I wasn't interested.

Dad came home with a cut above his eye where he'd been punched by a "skinhead" as Dad put it.

Dad didn't know which club the 'fans' were
of. He just said "I was outnumbered, all I could do was to stick my thumb in his eye" and I was out of it.

After years of going to Boothferry Park, me Dad found trouble at a Hull Kr v Hull fc game.

I don't know when that game happened, early 80's?

 

Boasting about not knowing where St Helens or Wigan is doesn't make rugby league look small time, it just makes you look like a thick and uneducated.

 

oooeeerrr missus

 

The point is ( or was) about Leigh being described as 'giants' when playing HKR. I'd guess that Leigh is about as big as Bransholme ?

 

I wasn't boasting, St Helens are a famous RL team because I have heard of them, genuinely wasn't sure if its just a suburb of Liverpool, Manchester or a town in its own right, is it near Warrington then?

 

Here you go chaps...

I quite like rugby league, just wish they didn't play it at the KC.

 

That's correct just like Hull is a sizeable City 60 miles east of Leeds.

 

Or Leeds is a sizeable city 60 miles west of Hull

 

I Don't know where Huyton is

 

Over the road from shorten.

 

Big City West of Hull

 

Just looked through the player stats there'll be hell on.
FC got five players with a rating of 9.
KR got six!!!
Trouble ahead.



Oh City didn't get anyone above an eight...

 

'Tubbylards' got 9's Chazz? Surely not.
