Probably not going to watch it

I find it quite bizarre some RL fans won’t be watching, it’s a historic Grand Final, fair enough if you want to cheer on Saints over Catalans but not bothering to watch it is very strange for a fan of the game.

Come on Catalans!

I will watch it on tv but I can understand why some wouldnt. The coverage on Sky these days isnt the best. The commentary is poor.

That said, im looking forward to the final. Both teams deserve to be there.

Re commentary I said when Eddie was getting bagged left right and centre that it would be a case of you don’t know what till its gone, Hemmings was an oustanding caller if the game.

However, and each yo their own and all that but I can honestly say the commentary doesn’t get in the way of me enjoying the game one bit

I was going to go to the game today but decided to watch it on TV as I enjoy watching the big games on TV when im neutral, well I say neutral I really really want Cats to win, it will be fabulous for the game

Hoping that they both serve up a game to remember. Just bumped into Mr Gale down the shops. He reckons Saints are far too good.

I take what I said about TV presenters not bothering me - john Wilkin is there

Stuff to do but might dip into the Beeb's highlights tomorrow. Could record it in full but that'd mean baz, tez, clurkey et al. Hope it's a good game for those giving it a watch tonight.

Good first half. Great to see the ref letting the teams go toe to toe without penalising everything.

Too close to call. Saints look the better side but not having it their own way.

Re: Grand Final : Sat Oct 09, 2021 6:02 pm  

saints are very cynical at times, happy to give away tactical penalties

But the ruck is a complete shambles. I like Liam Moore hes best young ref going but hes a job to do here.

Catalans weathered the storm and are in this if they are allowed to mess around in the tackle.

Some ferocious hits and amazing line speed on show. Typical GF.
