Just had this come up 6 years ago, when Nandos was cheeky, pay £10 for the chicken on its own now with no sides

Bevan French brought off in what would appear to be some sort of peace offering from Wigan to their near rivals. Absolutely tremendous.

Should be a healthy ban incoming for that. Dupree got 3 games for something similar in 2024. But let’s be honest, they won’t go a thing. Staggering it was missed.
