That’s a bad one:

Trademark hip drop tackle. Nasty:

Lewis has really lost his head in this game. Right call for a yellow:

This is the incident that Pangai Jr has been charged with:

Mikey Lewis quips “Jake Connor who?” as he comes through the mixed zone:

Aispuro-Bichet seems to bring Lindop down with his left leg. The tackle was put on report. Hopefully not a long-term injury for Lindop:

That’s a nasty one:

Sky loves to give this grand final a re-run. Still quite an unbelievable first two minutes of a decider:

Code warriors can spit their bile as much as they like. If you appreciate rugby of either code, this is an outrageous piece of skill in extra time to set up a winning try. Ikatu, who grew up playing both Union and League. Take a bow:

Are we not calling forward passes anymore?

Jackson Hastings clearly not happy with something said or done by a fan in the stands. Looking to climb over the railing:

Not great scenes at Warrington vs Widnes tonight:

Seemed a few words between some players at full time. David Klemmer didn’t look too pleased. I’m not a lip reader, but it’s not too hard to guess:

Sam Burgess after his Warrington side were dominated by Leigh.

Ange: “I reckon the pubs in Australia will be going full ball”:

Brian Carney:

Hull FC coach Andy Last unhappy with the officials after his side’s loss to Hull KR:

Well, the plot thickens:

“We’re in desperate need of a capital injection, and an injection of expertise”. Perfectly put. England rugby league needs both money and people who can market and professionalise the sport. The NRL could do both

The next time St Helens and Wigan play is going to be fiery:

This is the reality that many don’t want to admit. Super League is already a feeder comp to the NRL. Has been for some time. Investment and change is needed, and fast. Investment to increase participation, increase profile, increase publicity and improve standards.

Woodsy had to ask, but Rowley was playing the straightest of bats. Even David Boon would have been proud of that. Fair play:

Luke Robinson revealed Willie Peters and the Hull KR players apologised for the cannonball on Matty English. Also says Huddersfield now have 14 injured players, the worst injury crisis he’s ever seen at a club in his playing and coaching career:

Patrick Carrigan after Australia wrapped up the Ashes 3-0:

Jon Wilkin pulling no punches on St Helens:

“We’ve got to work together as a sport”.

Classic Wayne Bennett presser. The man is undefeated 😂
