I'll be honest. I love Rugby League. I will be at the majority of the games. I will be thoroughly entertained, even if it is makes grim watching. Hopefully if the away turnouts are low there'll be less of this singing nonsense and I'll be able to watch RL in silence as is tradition at Odsal. Interspersed with occasional shouts of 'forward!' and 'rip his spleen out!'.

and don't forget "get 'em onside"

Shame we can no longer shout "Get him off his 4rse" at hookers

Course you can, just shout it!

I've been known to shout "feeding" from time to time, in the full and certain knowledge that, at least, two or three out of those fairly close by will laugh in acknowlegement. Does go over most heads though.....

I remember when whole sections of the crowd used to yell "FEEDIN!" in unison - usually at the first scrum given to the opposition.

Not heard since about 1987.

Of course they did - the opposition scrum half was ALWAYS feeding. Ours, of course, was just adept at finding our hooker's feet whilst putting it dead centre down the tunnel.....

Probably the same year that a scrum was last won against the 'head'. I seem to remember Nobby being good at that.

Oh yes, Nobby was a proper hooker, and had the crocked knees to prove it...

I remember Nobby winning 10 against the head and feed versus Warrington at Odsal once when they lost Tamati due to injury. Even with the likes of Boyd, Davidson etc in the pack they just couldn't win the ball.

Different game back then.

Obviously I want the team to target being undefeated in all of these fixtures. We only need a win or 2 to get into the playoffs. But ultimately, all I want is this losing streak vs Fax to end - is it 4 or 5 games? I've lost track. A good performance would set us up for the next 3 home games as well.
