Great news, Saints women get to play at the stadium before our Hull cup game, hope fans turn up early and give them great support.

Excellent. I love it when we get an academy game before a first team game, which does not happen that much now. It will be good if they can do this more often. I hope fans turn up early.
Humans are more concerned with having than being.
I was always taught to respect my elders,
but it keeps getting harder to find one!
I am a nobody, and nobody is perfect;
therefore I am perfect
You made the issue of gender and sexuality the focus of your post, not the women’s teams ability to play
Appreciating how someone looks as a side issue to their abilities, is quite another thing
As you recognise your comments are antiquated, it is surprising you still try and defend them and yourself.
Eh? I wasn't aware I had made any assumptions - though I suppose I assume Webbo enjoys rugby, which is what I said. Don't think that's particularly damning though really.
Anyway this is just silly now, the derailment of the thread makes a mockery of the fact it's meant to be about promoting women's rugby.
I've always enjoyed women's rugby. It tends to be fast and quite alarmingly aggressive (not in a bad way) and I think those that turn up early will watch a thoroughly enjoyable game. Hopefully the league will expand to have more teams.
I assume you wrote a sternly worded letter to the BBC about Robbie Hunter Paul's attempt to bring down the men's game by remarking on Ben Barba's wonderful buttocks.
The joke was a pithy one liner it did not say I hope I will be there in time to see them to swap shirts at the end, which would have been bringing the game down to it being the only important aspect.
Are all the Liverpool Footballers bringing down the game by posing in showers for shaving products?
Back on topic, I was wondering if they may bring one or two of the womens games to the home stadium. Great news that they are doing so, creating greater exposure.
Wonder if they could market a stand alone game for next year, possibly the Wigan Saints Derby???
I've watched them a few times now and really enjoyed it. I hope the women's game increases participation in the game as a whole, it has the potential to expand our audience to
In relation to the one liner, in isolation these remarks can be funny, I think the worry is if we all look for a cheap laugh each time it discredits the product. It also normalises these comments and often others join in and it increases in amount and content. Whilst a think we need perspective and allow some banter, we also must be careful not to discredit the sport and bring it down a level. This is an opportunity to respect more people playing and the talented rugby on show and persistent cheap jokes doesn't help achieve that. So for me I hope these cheap remarks don't become the norm and we leave this mentality back in the generations past.
