Good old film on tonight : Sat Mar 28, 2020 12:32 pm  

On Talking Pictures movie channel(sky 328)(Virgin (445) at 9.00 tonight there is a film called This Sporting Life. It's a story based around Rugby League .. I've seen it a few times and it's worth a watch
I guess a lot have seen it already but if not it's well worth a look.

A great film (the two leads were nominated for Oscars) and well worth another watch - good spot.

I remember reading that Richard Harris, having played RU, told the Wakefield players not to hold back. That was a big mistake, especially when one of those players was Rocky Turner.
