  1. Sezer's contract was a one year deal viewed as a stop-gap so I wouldn't pretend this is some blinding revelation you've had. Whether any SL club would go for him is another question.
  2. Breaking fasts and making tackles: how rugby league is adapting to Ramadan 'It reminds us of how helpless we are': Life as an NRL player during Ramadan
  3. Is this the BBC just taking the Sky commentary? Has that been the case for the other games they've covered?
  4. That 2004 season really was quite a special case though. And, if I really want to split hairs, if you take out the two Bradford crowds from that the average is only 15,161. Take out the final game vs London, which was when the LLS was presented and got a definitely above-normal 17,329, and it's 14,965. Should Leeds have grown their crowds since then with a poorer-performing team and despite the loss of its biggest game every year? I continue to think the club doesn't do enough on the crowd and marketing front and has probably been happy for some years with very high corporate revenues, together with high yields and lower averages for regular fans. That was an approach which got them through the successful years and helped pay for a large chunk of the stadium redevelopment. The approach has actually changed a bit this year with season ticket prices somewhat reduced. However the club definitely has a higher baseline level of in-person support now than it did 20 or 30 years ago.
  5. It's not really important but to be factual Leeds' 2003 average SL attendance at Headingley was 12,846. The club finished third and that included 23,000 for the Bradford game. In 2023 the equivalent was 13,805 when they finished eighth.
  6. You'd bump up the cost of season tickets if these games were included though. So it wouldn't be a case of it being "free" to ST holders.
  7. Part of the fix probably relates to turning the Challenge Cup into a group thing going forward with say two guaranteed home games before the quarters. I'm not sure how that would work as it's quite a few extra games but it's probably the direction the cup needs to go in.
  8. Eddie & Stevo quote an attendance of 7,000 for the Leeds-Saints cup game. No idea where they've got that from.
  9. Yeah he's going to say that though isn't he
  10. Free SuperLeague+ works without a VPN overseas, or at least in the EU, if anyone's interested.
  11. I like Jon Wells but it's a bit too obvious he's desperate for his team to win.
  12. Whilst the current state of the international calendar isn't great there's no need to repeat union propaganda on here. The Roosters forced the union types to pay well over the odds but they were desperate to avoid another loss to the NRL so paid up. What the stated reasons were in their press releases are as useful as Martin Gleeson saying how pleased he was to leave St Helens for Warrington back in the day.
