More importantly rugby league supporters across the region should be giving thanks to the Rugby Union organisation Premiership Rugby for the use of their pitch protection facilities without which the NY day fixture may even have been in doubt.

Interestingly premiership rugbys protection facilities have been in use at Newcastle Falcons....And guess what...they have also called off their boxing day fixture. hmmmm

Cheesecake last night was a success.

Final winner was Bailey's & White Chocolate so I've got the rest of the tester to eat tonight, and a fresh one for tomorrow (which is more likely I'll have to share some of that one, otherwise it's not in the "Festive Spirit").

christmas is a season of sharing goodwill amongst all. i dont seem to recall it mentions cheesecake.
therefore sit in the bathroom and eat it all yourself.

Agreed. I might try... "Show me specifically in the Bible where it says I need to share my cheesecake??"

That should do it.

That should do it.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a cheesecake, which is f'kin superb being baileys and white chocolate. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the cheescake wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a fridge, on a plate. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising Baileys and white chocolate, and saying, Glory to cheesecake in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, now where has the bas'tad hidden it?

What version of the bible do you have? My is almost identical to that but wherever you've used the word "cheesecake" mine says "Saviour". Must be an old edition.

Great, 2 games in one day on a pitch that's been frozen.
Let's look forward to a pitch that's not fit to play fast running rugby on till about May.
I wonder how many injuries we'll get as a result?
