John Lambies Doos Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Just looking at some of the Scottish refs above and on a side note. Does anyone know if any Scottish refs are close to breaking into the Elite ref circuit. I know it's a bit of a closed shop but obviously new ones need to come through? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Glasgow side for treviso. Piss poor that the italian games aren't televised live (why no tmo when cameras are recording? ?). Id suggest pyrgos needs to be right on it here. The gap between him n price at moment is huge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The bold Ryan Grant has re-signed for Glasgow, could be a great signing if he's back to his best, considering that Kebble will be out for a while and Bhatti has big question marks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only big concern is why his move down south was so short. Would love to see the big fella back to something like his best. He was a wrecking ball in scrums and in the loose before the lions. Did think it was odd that he was watching the game at Scotstoun the other week rather than be at his club. Really hope it works out.....just need big leone to come home n we will have the band back together 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameras will be there same as they were for embra....really not sure what the issue is with the Italian sides but it needs addressing. Also crazy that no tmo is in place yet cameras as their. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I see that fuckwit Professor Allyson Pollock has delivered her annual attempt to get tackling banned in schools. I even found myself agreeing with Piers Morgan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Brilliant game between Castleford and St Helens, Tigers were 20-10 up with 10 minutes to go, Saints scored 3 tries to lead 22-20, but then gave away a needless penalty right on time which Tigers kicked after the buzzer had sounded to take it into golden point extra time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Tigers go through with a drop goal, with both teams missing attempts before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Talking Rugby League it;s the NRL Grand Final on Sunday between Melbourne Stirm and North Queensland Cowboys. Storm finished minor premiers 6 points ahead of 2nd place. The Cowboys finished 8th and from memory only secured their place in the Finals in the last round or 2nd last round of games. They've played most of the season without Jonathon Thurston and would be amazing if they win on Sunday. Should be a good game but really can't see the Storm slipping up though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Cooper Cronk's last ever game for the Storm (and possibly ever in NRL). The Cowboys have put together an impressive run especially without JT and as such there's something that tells me could they steal it. Storm big favourites though, they looked imperious against the Broncos last week. Edited September 29, 2017 by afca32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean he was down there basically a few weeks?? Really is bizarre. Given standard he was at five years ago i really hope he can find himself again. At his best he was monstering the best nz n sa tightheads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing for Ayr I think. Cockerhill turned him down at Edinburgh apparently. Might have turned them down however! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Looking forward to heading to Scotstoun tonight. My only concern is our front row aren't used to working together and Treviso's forward pack make up the lion's share of the Italy forward pack. Therefore they will bring a good scrum tonight on the back of 2 wins on the bounce. However, we have Cummings in there who's on his game and we also have Harley and Wilson who'll bring their experience. I'd say that Treviso aren't quite as pacy as Zebre so I'd have preferred Price or Matawalu to start at 9 to bring in more quick ball. Major banana skin so we need to turn up with our A game.

I'm going tonight as well, first game of the season for me. I'm worried about the forwards match up as well. I think they are quite strong, so, as always, we need to try and avoid being dragged into a shitfest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 So far Matawalu has been used as an outside back replacement. I'd be surprised if Rennie sees him as a regular contender for 9 if Price, Pyrgos and Horne are all fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rennie sees him as fullback cover as well as wing which I am not entirely sure about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
