Imagine that. Never heard of rugby league fans moaning.

Just been listening to him on Eddie Hemmings' podcast. Is there a more impressive guy in rugby league? I don't have too much to to say. Just feels like Cullen is the kind of a fella you'd want involved with the RFL/IMG.

Traditional media is on life support. My mam and Dad still buy newspapers. MEN, Mirror and Daily Mail. They're both 60. Newspapers will die before they do.

I had it in my head that they did it for a full week for some reason.

Dont the MLB have a full week where every player wears 42 in honour of Jackie Robinson? Or have I imagined that?

It depends on the players. We've had top aussie comes over here and be terrible. Then an average aussie comes over and becomes a club legend. There's so many variables that go into it.

@NRLandSL Where are you from mate? Like you seem to be an absolute rugby league nerd (i love it).... not seen much pessimism/negativity in any of your posts.

He was very good. Solid and hit some good holes. Looks like he's really settling in. He looks a lot leaner than he did over here. I think he's gonna have a great season.

Not sure why I've quoted Johnny too.

Harry Grant's Mam and Dad are English too. Geordies.

Yeah. I know it's Thursday. Just had it in my head that it was supposed to be Saturday.

So I've been planning to go to watch Salford-Wigan next week. I was under the impression that it was on the 16th and a 5:30pm kick off. Now my phone is telling me it's a Thursday night game. Is this a last minute change? Or have I been a silly sausage and not been paying attention?

Is that where Latrell Mitchell is from?

It says on my now tv app that Bulldogs vs Eels will be shown on Saturday morning.

You talk up our players a bit too much at times. KPP has all the ability in the world but hasn't put together a dominant season in SL yet. It'll take him a bit of time to get used to the consistent intensity in the NRL and then hopefully it brings the best out of him. I'm sure even Wigan fans would say they never saw the best of him. He's capable of so much more.

If it was just the 10m then as mentioned above it would Sheffield or Widnes, possibly Salford. If it was a massive £100m+ then Bradford.

Jordan is good when he's talking about football structures, calling out agents etc. Can't really listen to him talk about boxing though. He's one of those that still thinks it's the 90s with Benn, Bruno and Eubank. His wife/partner is from Hull. Wonder if she's black and white or red and white.

Heard Adrian Durham talk about rugby league a lot over the years. Hawksbee and Jacobs regularly have rugby league related guests on. Jacobs in particular always says how much he prefers watching league to union. There's not some big conspiracy by them to not cover rugby league. They're a private company and know that 90% of their audience only care about premier league football.

It's just an ordinary bardcode rather than a QR code. That still work?

Anyone know if you can print tickets at the ground? I've got a ticket but don't have a printer. Should have got an e-ticket in hindsight.

It's only gonna happen if Trbojevic goes down. Which is likely considering his injury history. Even then you'd think Koula would slot in at fullback. Can't see Bailey playing on the wing or in the centre in the NRL.

Not talking about defending the try line. The line speed and physicality throughout the game was top notch.

If Rovers keep up that intensity in defence this season then they'll be up there. Ball didn't stick in attack, sloppy. But they'll click eventually.

Absolutely buzzing for this game. Not a fan of either side but always love the Hull Derby. Great way to start the season.

Get on twitter about it mate. Kick up a bit of a fuss. And when you eventually get your tickets you can tell the students to get behind Rovers
