Still some way off Huddersfield’s record 5 super league wooden spoons.

Never great to finish bottom, but I think a decent season for the Bulls, we’ve won at a rate of more than 1in4 games and were within a win of being a few places higher. We’ve had awful luck with injuries but have still played some entertaining rugby and where we’ve been a bit weak down the middle we’ll be much stronger next year.

Just started working again on 48 minutes. So poor tho. It’s not even like the main channels are full of live content so don’t know why it’s on Sky+

That Mike is a right pain when it comes to Sky+

Mine just started the game again from 26 minutes and now says no programme available

And Sky stops working … less than 2 mins in

I can’t believe Oxen are missing out on the chance of an away kit release.

Well that’s a good point, not many is the answer. But, back in 2010 and 2012 when there was slightly more organised calendars (euro champs etc) there were crowds of >10k and >11k for that fixture. So that tells me that it can be viable if planned properly.

I would also love an annual mid-season France vs England game, every year in France. But, in short term if that is deemed uncompetitive I think France vs Wales in France would also work and would draw a decent crowd.

I think they should just bite the bullet and use the old GB logo. That was a classic badge. I think a lot of people who want to bring back GB just want the badge and the red and blue V. We could just use it for England.

Premier Sports would be a disaster really, if you were to rank the channels that you’d want to have rights to the RLWC where would they come? Behind terrestrial, Sky, TNT, DAZN etc.. Premier Sports likely has in the region of 300k subscribers at best, that’s not good for our Sport.

Some activity outside of the ground that families could get involved in pre match. Something to engage you on the field pre game e.g. band, proper anthems sung live. They did nothing. There was actually a decent crowd there, about 19k from memory. But it was simply 80 minutes of RL, which in a 90+ point victory is a challenge

I hate double headers. What casual fan wants to watch two games? I love RL and I don’t fancy that much RL. What I want is an event. The last WC, some of the games were literally just the match, anthems on a tape recorder, no entertainment, 80mins of RL and home. England vs Greece in Sheffield as one example! I went to both the NRL and AFL GF last year … those were events! Now you can’t do that for every game, but you can make a game feel like it’s worth attending and value even if the game itself feels not too attractive.

Thanks. In which case its not really a permanent home. Maybe more will come out in the near future if/when some journalists follow up!

It’s not clear is it. Permanent home suggests a level of ownership, otherwise it’s just another tenancy?
