HarrySpeakup Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I’ve got a ticket for Samoa v Greece on Sunday at Donny I’ve not been to a rugby game since Sheffield Eagles played at Don Valley I’ve picked this game because I have never seen a haka live and they always look amazing on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl4ever1867 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Not managed to watch any games as of yet but always keep my eyes out for the results Noticed the Aussies won tonight with a thumping win against Scotland Australia 84-0 Scotland It'll be an Australia vs NZ or GB Final.

HarrySpeakup Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 Samoa 72 Greece 4 Samoa scored 13 tries but the biggest cheer of the night was for the Greek try it was a change to be at a game where you didn’t care who won - having said that Samoa were 1/1,000 The haka was fantastic to see A very enjoyable evening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrySpeakup Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 I would go again next Monday but I think the prices are a bit steep and no concession for the over 60s/65s I would have thought they would have made it more reasonable to attract non Rugby League fans especially in the group stages - could have done a 3 game ticket at Donny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they've got ticket pricing totally wrong - the support is there if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrySpeakup Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 I paid £35 for a seat opposite the 25 yard line and this was for a known totally one sided game so for the first half I hardly saw the ball at my end it was easy to move into more expensive areas if you wanted to there was 4,400 there and i have no idea if that was more or less than expected if they had done a 3 match ticket for £50 say I would have gone to them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 There's been some serious batterings given out to the lower ranked teams in this tournament so what are the likes of Greece and Italy getting out of it? Does anyone who follows RL know why the Emerging Nations World Cup wasn't run for the lower nations? This one could then have been styled as a Super8 type tourney.

jamishinoto Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 We're all Cedars on Friday night aren't we?! These two teams met at the 2017 group stages. Australia were only winning by 8 at half time and they had a strong team with the likes or Tom Trbojevic, Boyd Cordner, Cameron Munster and Cooper Cronk. I don't think Australia have got better since then and Lebanon certainly have. I expect a Kangaroos win but it isn't a sure thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Owl Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Nathan Cleary has been cleared to play for the Australians. There isn't a better half back in the game currently and he's a far better player than Daly Cherry Evans. He's a huge part of the Panthers team that's been too good for the NRL.

Biggest test yet for our boys. They will be on cloud 9 after being the underdogs against Tonga, I have to admit, I thought it was going to be an England vs Tonga Semi-Final. It'll be England vs Australia in the Final. I've enjoyed the tournament, been some superb rugby on show but the RFL have dropped a major boo boo with the prices.

Owling_Wolf Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 In passing, I've enjoyed watching the England Womens' R. L. team in action, though what I saw was too one-sided. I look forward to seeing them against stronger opposition, if I get the chance. I was lucky, I saw the documentary about the squad training and playing over the year, competing for final squad selection, following two 'main' characters at home and at work: one making it and one not. It made a big difference to watching my first game, already 'knowing' some players. I also was amazed at the ferocity of the wheelchair version of R. L. Sort of a cross between Robot Wars and Ben Hur! If you've never seen it - I hadn't - they're 'armoured' chairs used to ram / tackle and it's a common sight to see a 'tackled' chair four feet up in the air, upside down, with its occupant on the floor. I even saw one English player run over. He just played on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
