Oh no. Why couldn't Luke Pearce be the main man.

I'd take Steve Walsh over Dickson tbh

 

[Becca]

I'd take Steve Walsh over Dickson tbh

Steve Walsh was still the best looking ref ever, though.

 

[Ddanno]

There was a touch of Pedro Pascal about him I guess. Hollie Davidson for me though.

She’s not my type

She's not my type

Nor mine really but I like getting told what to do

Fair enough

You are Steve Walsh, and I claim my £5

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I’d rather have Stevie wonder than Karl Dickson, better chance at making the correct call.

Silly question: why did Leicester and Montoya agreed to have his last game on a semi? I get this was probably arranged eons ago, but i find it ludicrous no one in the room took a minute to check such a thing. Am i missing something or was this just bad luck and/or sheer incompetence?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Don't think he has, has he?
The semi final was his final home game, but I've not seen anything about it being his final game full stop

What?

Unless he's injured there is no agreement, just sadly his last game at Welford road

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

My bad! Thanks. I thought this was his last game for leicester. Apologies

 

[Seeker]

Leicester will probably win but I hope Bath does.

I would've thought Bath were reasonable favourites for this, though I do think Tigers are the side that could beat them (not exactly a controversial take considering they're the last sides standing)

Edit: Bookies have Bath winning by 10pts!


Tough to decide who I want to win:
On the one hand Cole and Youngs retiring with a trophy would be class, I like Cheika in a pantomime villain kind of way (like an Aussie Dimes), Radwan and OHC have been two of my favourite players for years and years and seeing Russell lose would be funny

On the other hand Leicester are smelly cheating ref bribing ********

It's nice having no skin in this whatsoever, I just want a good match.

........and then came Dickson and 'Tempo'

Could be worse, Leinster v Bulls has Piardi (he who said the rules are too complicated) reffing!
