 Tony Smith`s team Warrington won their semi-final in English Super League in a come from behind performance overnight. Tony Smith is Brian`s brother. Joel Moynahan, the winger, score three tries for Warrington. It was revealed that Warrington are training two Serbian Ruby League players. Serbia has a Rugby League competition and the two player being trained come from the leading club in Serbia.Tony said it was their effort to establish league in Serbia. The two players were big fellows, young, with plenty of muscle and seems good types.It would be good for league if it becomes popular in Serbia.They are not of Superleague standard yet.

Catalan Dragons won their semifinal in the last minute of play at Leeds against Leeds--their first win at Leeds ever. They are having close results in finals in England as we are out here. Sam Williams ex Raiders and St George half scored two tries, the last right on full time, from `a dropped ball in goal by Leeds. Just as Manly scored from the Grub`s

dropped ball last night. Sam Williams has previously been signed by Ricky Ticky Tarvy for two years--the more things change the more thy stay the same! I was having a late lunch at my favourite Turkish restaurant this afternoon--Red Lentil soup and Turkish bread  and coffee--a modest affair but delicious.The young Turkish waitress saw me reading about league and opened a conversation. She said a lot of Parramatta players go to that restaurant--Tim Manner, Luke Kelly,

Pat O Hanlon and others she could not name. She has been an Eels fan all her life--went to Arthur Phillip High. Its good that a young women of Turkish background is a league follower. Rugby League still has the power to attract true believers. Long may it do so.

  • Is that the restaurant near the Coolibah Hotel near Merrylands high school?
    •  No. It is in Parramatta itself. Its on the street next to and parallel to the Parramatta Station on the Westfield side, just south of the Westfield entrance. Don`t know the name of the street but a guess it may be Argyle.

  • As long as Timmy minds his manners.

    •  Very droll PK, very droll.

  • A woman that loves Parra you say Rob?

    •  No Frank, but i know where she works and who she supports. Thats more than enough to go on with at the moment. I think I will propose to her the next time Parra  wins the comp!! Am I safe, or am I safe?
