Penrith look better than they ever even did when they won four titles in a row. Incredible rugby league side. They beat an excellent Melbourne side 50-10 this morning.





What a team!

I've just watched that second clip on repeat about 20 times, brilliant to watch.
 
The last ten minutes of this Saints-Wigan game has been like watching about a dozen Wire-Saints games from the 00s.

For anyone without Sky Sports but do have Sky One, FC v Saints is on Sky One tonight.
 
Brian McDermott has been named the new England coach ahead of the World Cup at the end of the season.

I didn’t know Shaun Wayne had stepped down/been sacked. I was only thinking about why Big Mac hadn’t got himself a coaching job the other week.
 
Doesn't matter who they employ. They will still get stuffed by the Aussies.
 
It’s such a shame Psychedelic Casual doesn’t post on here anymore, cos I’m sure he would have loved this, but this is bloody insane stuff!!

Come on You Blues! Biggest comeback in Origin history.

Great comeback from New South Wales. Incredible debut from Ethan Strange.

The sending off of Ponga the turning point in the game.

Yes mate, and that award of another 6 tackles that they were awarded for the delay of the play the ball - which looked very soft to me!
Sets up next two matches beautifully though …

Yes that was a bit soft but you could say the say the same for the two disallowed New South Wales tries.

Queensland were miles ahead with 13 a side on the pitch but they failed to take out their Arsenal / PGMOL insurance.

Ponga is an excellent player but Queensland might have been better of had he been suspended and Reece Walsh been brought back into the side. That might still happen of course.
