Indeed. But Warrington have essentially more than doubled in terms of average gate - and more than that in terms of visibility etc - since the start of Super League. And, unlike, say, Bradford, that has stayed true even when not winning. Maybe Hull FC would be another example.

Was it just money with Warrington? London have also spent eye watering amounts of money. Huddersfield too.

The question is, in English RL terms, who could do a Warrington?

For the 2026 season?

Supporting the grassroots and the community game by removing opportunities for players to make a living from the game.

The last season of AFLW was a car crash. They crammed everything into a short period, played at really weird times and there was no logic to where and when games were played. Ended up with a low crowds, annoyed longer term supporters and burnt out players playing a cardio sport with no energy. Meanwhile, the AFL, seem throughly bemused that the “play it and people will turn up” strategy doesn’t work when you antagonise every potential demographic who might come and watch.

Enjoying the physicality and sh1thousing in this Switzerland - Iceland game. You wouldn’t want every one to be like this but it’s tasty.

I’m apparently being given a club tracksuit in my role as camera pointer at Hastings. FKW here I come.

To play that badly and only lose 2-1 … all hinges on the Netherlands game now

England looked *appalling* in the field and watching a couple of them - really not sure what is going on with attitude and fitness. India will be gutted but should probably still win the series. And Sky did avoid mentioning a non called wide in the penultimate over as well.

Why does Hetherington need to prove the bizarre assertion that Southampton couldn’t support a top flight RU team?

I presume Vannes? Not bigger than every SL club but seem to be bigger than some. Also, whilst RU isn't as big in France as some voices claim, it's also not a regional niche like RL sadly is.

Red Bull lost around £60m last year and is currently closing pubs. Not sure they're the most secure direction right now.

That’s fair
