I guess the Whino's will be looking to get back on the horse after tonight's 0-74 drubbing at the hands of the Kiwi's
Wish I had been there to see that as it reminds me of the World Club Challenge game I worked at Elland Road a few years ago when they played Melbourne Storm...think I was the only one in the stadium that celebrated when Melbourne won...and now I can't stand them either !!!

Went to the game last night. The Kiwis never genuinely never got out of 1st gear, just scored at will with ease. The talent within that team is truly frightening and made a lot of Leeds 1st teamers look very very ordinary. Tbf they would of put that score on most teams. Was a pleasure to watch truly world class players. On another note Elijah Taylor was a guest player for Leeds. He had some of the best forwards in the world running at him and literally felled them one after the other, was a stand out for me.

Don't mind the change tbf - at least will be able to go on the train - thats if they're not on strike!

To be honest I’m delighted as I’ll be able to go for a change. Being in a mainly Trinity fan free family getting Boxing Day off was never easy.

I suspect the same applies to the players.

Personally speaking, I find Christmas a totally over hyped time of year that has become purely an exercise in taking money from people. The Boxing Day game, makes it bearable. I cant remember the last time I missed one and looking forward to it again this year.

It is officially the most wonderful time of the year. Andy Williams says so and I'm with him
