IS IT THE SAME GAME?

TALKING RUGBY LEAGUE
Last week I watched on catchup the two NRL matches from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The two games were played in a stadium with a roof in front of more than 40,000 spectators and the pitch and its markings were in pristine condition.
On Sunday I tuned into the game between Featherstone Rovers and Wakefield Trinity that was shown on the Sportsman YouTube channel. It was a thrilling match, full of incident, with Rovers winning in golden-point time. I would guess that their supporters will have had enough excitement from that one game to last a lifetime.
The enduring photograph from that game is of Gareth Gale touching down to score the winning try.
It was a great effort by Gareth to run the length of the field on such a heavy pitch after intercepting Mason Lino’s pass.
