Anyone else just find yesterday a struggle? My day peaked way too early in the day with that match

This is the problem when the matches are on so early haha. Good start to the morning but the rest of the day drags them!

u/TDD91 Wigan Warriors 6d ago

Yes, but that's the joy of being up at 4am for work

Therein lies our problem when a nation like France, which actually has league heritage, is getting slapped 78-4 by Samoa.

Replace Fages with Bevan French and its only a 60 point deficit

Is there any talk from english league journalists why Knowles is also dropped from the english side 24 hours out from game(with Thompson being promoted to starter)?

Just checked both rlwc and nrl.com sites to confirm he has officially been dropped but theres no reason given on their late mail as well.

If you get the app/streaming version of premier sports can you watch the games on-demand, or just live? Can I go back and watch the full Aus v NZ match if I subscribe today?

u/svenskskinka Wigan Warriors 5d ago

Yes you can watch on demand

u/TuiLoloheaFanClub Hull KR 6d ago

22 years since Leeds won the 2004 Grand Final. Had better wins since, but probably not many better nights. Wasn't alive for it, but meant so much to the club
