Here’s our reaction to a brilliant grand final and to the announcement of the England World Cup squad. Don’t forget to share if you enjoy! https://youtu.be/U8S75zaUpdo?is=7lp-QS-PQL6dAw9e

I know there’s a forum for the women's game, but the World Cup is pretty big, so I hope this is ok here. In our latest video/podcast on the women’s game, Jason Emery & I have picked our squads and starting 13s. Feel free to tell us were talking nonsense

Jason and I have picked our 13s and squads of 23 in our latest video. The big call is in the halves obviously so keen to hear opinions from others.

Can TJS still play in the final? An NRL precedent suggests all may not be lost… Has Lois taken Leeds as far as she can? Stunning performances from London & Workington! And more.. Please share if you like these videos https://youtu.be/cxSSWTyQYpg?si=CkN8vGRh517AZQth

We’ve chatted about the game on our podcast this morning…

It might be on The Union & The League on Friday night On a serious note, great performance! Well done to all concerned.

Here’s this week’s video! Some of the issues we pondered are: Is that the best round of WSL we’ve ever had? Is York v Wigan the best WSL game of all time? Can Leeds get their season back on track on Friday? Just how big a game is this weekend’s Championship Grand final between Manchester Swinton Lionesses & London Broncos Women? And probably the most important question: who should be the starting England halfbacks out of Georgia Roche, Jenna Foubister, Izzy Rowe, Tara-Jane Stanley and anyone else you might consider? https://youtu.be/EEq5gbwp-Hk?is=ey0fPytK00hXDLCv

Here’s our latest video which features Wigan thrashing Leeds. saints winning a tight game at York, the London Broncos women and a quick chat about type-1 diabetes, a condition which doesn’t seem to be holding back a couple of WSL players.

This is a big podcast

I joined Jason for this week’s video. Plenty to talk about at the moment!

How have the English players done this week?

York v Hudds looked like one of those games when you thought maybe there was a chance of bottom 4 beating top 4. They had a very close game last season. York were terrible last week and no Savannah Andrade, their best player, this week. But nope. 42-0 shows the gap is as wide as ever. And it was 42-0 after an hour.

Just a quick plug for Jason Emery who’s started doing a video/pod on the women’s game. Here are his two so far, one previewing the semi finals and one reviewing. You can subscribe so his videos will appear in your YT feed
