RIP. Another sad loss to TGG.

What odds on opening Ottawa game being against London ? Remember you read it here first !

Do remind us what happened to the London Leopards plus their predecessors ? Brief flowerings then . . . . . .

Skolars decided after being told it wasn't allowed. Easy decision . Idea was floated after seeing how UGAG under Lionel were live streaming but after enquiries were told from RFL it was a no. Don't know how UGAG got away with it.

All I can say is that Skolars decided not to live stream. IIRC SKY said nothing to UGAG but may be they never knew about it.

Depends which site it was streamed on. UGAG also used to live stream their games and SKY did nothing. Do Bradford live stream all their games ? If it's on Our League site then it's 'official' and approved.

Skolars have looked into live streaming but on hold ATM as SKY deal means they have power to veto.

All Skolars home games are videoed. Contact Tania for details. Apparently a production company has been hired by RLEF to cover Greece/Norway so don't blame Skolars for any problems with it.

Was either late 70s or early 80s and ARL sent a number of juniors to France to play at FFRXIII clubs. Despite the fact they were 'professionals' and paid to play, apparently the perfectly amateur French RU clubs tried to sign most of them to their game ! Not sure if true but was told that at one point you could be paid up to a certain amount per game and still be considered 'amateur', this was match fee, NOT expenses as far as any sport in France was concerned.

Doesn't say much for the state of the egg in them ?

Heard whisper they may be playing Jamaica but nothing official yet.

£5000 in 1932 equates to £342,839.51 in 2018. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator If you want to check.

AFAIK still playing in local Paris league. Charenton probably most senior club in Paris now.

Let's just hope this isn't another Marseilles !
