Can feel a new song coming on whenever we are hammering someone.

(to the tune of - "it's just like watching Brazil")

Paint dry,
it's just like watching paint dry,
it's just like watching paint dry.

Posted on the Trinity board about the increasing popularity of paint drying on Sky TV.

It wasn't well received.

Wonder if the revelation of the huge popularity of Wigan RL on TV influenced the decision to bring our game at Murrayfield back on regular programming?

You bugger, Geoff.

I nearly choked, I laughed so hard at that one.

And IO love the "Paint dry, it's just like watching paint dry" chant.

We *HAVE* to sing that at Wakey, whether we win, lose or draw.

It will be very interesting to see what the viewing figure for that game is, bearing in mind that it is on SS4 (IIRC) and Hudds are hardly a huge draw.

The games with the high number of viewers have been the SS1 games, and the RFL should be looking to put something in the next contract about games being on SS1 to maximise viewers.
