It's a splendid day for a NYD derby with the Pies, sigh.

Pesky summer rugby, with its carpet like playing surfaces.
What we need this afternoon , is World War IV (and Stevo secretly enjoying it)

On the subject of summer rugby I remember that first season at Wilderspool when clouds of dust came up with every tackle. As that no longer appears to happen I can only assume it's down to the improved quality of the pitch.

So apparently Sonny Bill Williams is favourite for man of Steel and to be in the Dream team. I can't see that at all to be honest especially with Toronto. Still a good player but nowhere near that level anymore in my oppinion. I could be wrong but i very much doubt it.

I don't know about Sonny Bill for MoS but Leeds have just signed Rhys Evans on a season long loan from Bradford, that's who we should be worrying about!

I suppose summer rugby helped to dry up some of the urine flood plain within the gents at the scoreboard corner.

Never enjoyed paddling through that
