How many are there enough to support? 10 SL teams? 8?

I didn't watch any tonight. Do you mean Leeds v Salford or Huddersfield v Wakefield?

Certainly in terms of drama, if not quality. Hopefully more of the same on Tuesday night against Italy.

1 Brad Dundee 2 Shane Fosters 3 Cooper Kookaburra Not sure if they're real players or not, but if they are, they shouldn't be anywhere near our league. Simply not good enough.

Hence the importance of sticking with one team and building up some history. Otherwise you just dilute things and are left with an incomplete picture.

More than 7 million watched the Lionesses. Euro 2025: England shootout win draws 7.4 million TV viewers - BBC Sport

Is that the boxing event up at Wembley?

Epic night of football. You can't beat watching England knockout matches at a major tournament. We were out, in, in, out, shake it all about and then balloon a couple over the bar. Incredible drama.

I watched the whole Lionesses match and then switched to Channel 5 +1 to watch the second half of Chelsea.

Might have watched this but for the Lionesses match. I think St Helens will sneak over the line. 16-12.

I agree about not putting the sport behind a paywall, for the various reasons given above. I certainly wouldn't subscribe unless it was something very cheap (I'm talking maybe £50 or less for a year, not £40 a month). I do think there is maybe room for a subscription to watch all of your clubs matches, or perhaps even all of your clubs away matches, if you're already attending home games. I would have thought that sort of thing might interest some fans. It's a bit more targeted than paying to watch all SL games. I assume it would have to be agreed with all broadcast partners (including Sky).

Not a bad idea. I thought you were going to say park one at the side of the pitch so that fans could watch the match from the bus - which I think sometimes happens at the horse racing. A bit like the NFL Tampa Bay pirate ship.

Yeah, I understand that. It was only a throwaway comment about what seemed to me to be a pretty lame video. I do understand that nowadays it's possible to film anything and upload it for free or little cost, so you often get stuff that isn't earth shatteringly exciting. I put this video in that category. I'm sure there will many more inspiring Ashes related videos to come.

No, I was being lighthearted. But I didn't watch it and get fired up for the Ashes. It seemed a bit lame with a non-descript backing track. I think it's the tune that is the biggest issue for me. It just had the feel of watching a dating advert on late night TV on an obscure channel. It was just a bit wishy washy, that's all.

Thought it was an advert for a gay bar/dating. Nothing wrong with that of course, but get some better music.
