Finally had a trip to see the local Rugby League team. Perennial game underdogs and lower league residents, but this year, they are in The Super League. We chose an ‘easy game’ against a truly massive club, a team who have won the world club challenge cup 5 times. In contrast the local club has basically never won anything apart from maybe a couple of best half time pie contests.
Can you guess from the big screen, which team is the perennial underdogs and which one are the 5 times world champions.
Yep, the local team got properly hammered…. At one stage it was going to be a record breaking loss. One hopeful local supporter kept shouting ‘BELIEVE, we can still win this….”
Whisper it, York must have listened to him, they had a mini late fight back. Given another 3 days, they might have even won. 😂😂😂

Read Kipling’s “If” and concentrate on the quality of the pies. And look on the bright side – a bad game of rugby is still a lot better than a game of football. 🙂

A good pie can make up for many disappointments on the pitch. 🙂

At least the Knights scored a few times, and held the Warriors pointless at least the last 22 minutes. That’s something to cheer for.

I think those fans cheering them on no matter what should give us all something to aim for. And go you and Hawklad for still supporting them. It’s easy to support a champions team but to keep turn up again and again to see you team get beaten, I think, says something about strength of character 🙂

it was man against boys at times. Wigan were bigger, faster and had better skills.

Ouch…. That must have been hard to witness. Good for them, though, they managed a ‘mini late comeback’.

That’s so good to know. Glad you enjoyed it. If your team doesn’t do well, doing well within yourself is soooo good.

It took me a minute because 72 to 0 is WILD. We have a mercy rule in certain sports here about cutting a game short if the point spread gets too large — I don’t think you see that after high school, though, so I guess teams like this just have to battle through.
