Didn't realise this, that's quite interesting. Crofty was on loan at Oldham for a bit and he was an awesome little footballer, shame he wasn't quite able to make the step up to the prem. He was a tenacious little nice bloke for a footballer as well - i can see where he gets it from now!

He didn't have much of a rugby brain, but he was just lightening and very strong.

It would have been interesting to see how he would have done had he selected Rugby League.

maybe the Aussie game is just better all-round. The Cowboys Broncos game was outstanding considering it was the first competitive match of the season. So much quicker and the attacking play was much more entertaining...

The skill levels on display in the bad weather ( Manly v Bulldogs , Sharks v Panthers ) were unbelievable. They were throwing it out wide and playing expansive footy in the heaviest rain I have ever seen. If that had been SL I should imagine it would be just drives up the middle and a kick.

Complemented by a completely OTT commentary by those idiots at Sky led by Eddie no nowt Hemmings.

Just out of interest, where did you see the game? On Setanta or can you get NRL matches another way?

You can watch it on the internet. I'll send you a link
