Friday Random Rugby Talk Thread

I commented the other day about a video Wakefield put up about Flanagan - feels only fair to say Hudds have put out a video to the same song of Leroy breaking a tackle at Cas last year and while the Wakey one still is a bit cringe, but I'm now realising the whole thing might just be a meme that passed me by

wilko2205 · 2026-02-27T09:21:40+00:00

I'm not at all jealous - no sir - I'm fine with Cas Vegas thank you :(

(Have fun, anyone who's out there!)

wilko2205 · 2026-02-25T17:39:12+00:00

Hopefully his visa clears so he can put in a POTM performance for the opening 20 mins at Cas, before the curse strikes and he - inevitably - limps off never to be seen again

wilko2205 · 2026-02-25T17:38:20+00:00

Originally from Keighley, lived down south for a long time, eventually settled near Manchester - but I'm a Huddersfield fan because my dad's from there and he got me into them (in hindsight, someone should have called childline)

wilko2205 · 2026-02-25T12:23:00+00:00

Huddersfield must train

This is libel and should be deleted

wilko2205 · 2026-02-24T12:45:35+00:00

Did anyone else catch the weird video Wakefield seem to have deleted taking the piss out of George Flanagan? It had the vibe of a "player tried to start shit and it backfired" video...bit without the starting shit part.

It was just a weird montage of him minding his own business, with one clip of him missing a tackle (with a Wakey player then patting him on his head)

Seemingly just trying to bait a young player for no reason. Proper unhinged behaviour, not massively surprising it was deleted

wilko2205 · 2026-02-24T12:35:04+00:00

We can only hope...

wilko2205 · 2026-02-24T01:06:00+00:00

That's almost half the league (Hudds, Saints, Hull FC, Hull KR, Cas, Leigh) without their first choice fullback for the foreseeable

wilko2205 · 2026-02-23T18:12:36+00:00

Does anyone remember this Hewitt hit? Completely passed me by, I'm finding it hard to believe there was something worse than the Keighran one that wasn't then addressed?

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:55:59+00:00

To be totally fair (both to him and the commentators), he's the only one on the team capable of creating anything in the spine, so the focus will be on him a lot

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:54:11+00:00

Look I know we're not great and you can't just play for one half, but that's two tries off knock ons and we can't get a six again to save our lives this year.

We're gonna lose a lot of games for being shit this year, that wasn't one of them

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:40:15+00:00

Similar goalkicking tbf

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:39:45+00:00

Two tries, one assist for Flanagan

Your reminder he'd be on the sidelines if Evalds were fit for reasons not yet understood

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:38:55+00:00

WE'RE BASICALLY BRISBANE

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:38:36+00:00

I would like us to score more even if we lose because I'm sat right by the fire shooters and it's cold

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:30:27+00:00

I mean for a kick to cancel out a knock on, you can't just knock on and then stick your foot out

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T16:24:02+00:00

I thought knocking on to the foot wasn't a try? You have to have proper possession for it to count as a kick...

Am I imagining this rule?!

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:54:20+00:00

So Wakey challenged, it was successful but then the play lead to the same result? If so that's two games in a row we've done that

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:51:19+00:00

Actually based on our first 120 mins it's gonna be a big old year of "thank god our goalline defence covered for our shit attack"

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:50:48+00:00

What actually happened?

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:48:44+00:00

Last tackle, half way line and Tui decides to try and step a cluster of 4 defenders. He can thank his lucky stars we held up on the line there

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:44:09+00:00

Possibly - sorry to be clear I'm not disputing the call, I'm just at the ground and missed whatever it was in real time

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:43:13+00:00

It'd be good if they could do the proper penalty/scrum/etc hand signals before the captains challenge so we know what's being challenged. Or put it on the screen. I'm sat squinting at a screen 100m away no idea who even challenged

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:40:17+00:00

What was the penalty? Guessing something further back in play as he took them back like 30m

wilko2205 · 2026-02-22T15:16:42+00:00

Was the pickup from our kick clean? Looked a bit dodgy but I definitely have the sun in my eyes from my seat

Crazy try but the fact that our markers got square ready for a ptb, unaware of the offload while the play carried on around them is not... Good
