I said the NH needs developing so England can have some opposition. It’s not developed yet so I’m not saying anyone mid season

Against who mid season? Please please don't say France, complete waste of time it wouldn't be England's best team, but still far to strong for France, all the best French players along with a few other higher profile nationalities than the French men are at Catalan, and just look at all the pots they are cracking.

The inestimable Phil Caplan has revealed the RFL is hosting the event at the Aussie embassy, it is being filmed by Sky, and Brian Carney & Jenna Brooks are comperes. It is understood the big story is rugby league in London & the South is coming under “an umbrella”. We just don’t know who is holding the umbrella.

I wouldn’t class him as heritage. He was born in England to an English parent and lived here til he was 8. I’d say heritage is if they’re born and raised in another country but have an English parent or grandparent

It’s the former but forgive me, I overestimated your intelligence

You're not Your

Is King a 'heritage player'? I'm, somewhat, playing devil's advocate but I can accept an argument where he's considered 'more' than a heritage player.

Whoa, it won't be long before this conversation gets to 'my dad can fight your dad'.

Ran for 294m as well I have just seen.

I enjoy watching Origin but prefer Internationals. The NH needs developing to allow England players to be involved in more big games and tournaments (including mid season)

The standard is usually good but they're not like proper internationals.

Ah that makes sense, weird way to do it but fair enough.

Welcome back! Good piece but I think it will take more than advice. Hazarding a guess but I reckon the fans of SuperLeague alone put in something like £5 million ( rough guess) a year into the game: season tickets, walk ups, merch, food and drink. More, if you include Sky subscriptions. For that they are being treated by these guys as not worthy of communications. Until the Comms vacuum is filled by the RFL to then it will continue to asserted that the whole thing is a farce and a stitch up.

Not sure if I agree with you there. One of the Origin games last year (can’t remember if it was game 1 or 2) was one of the best games of RL I’ve ever watched

A game with no significant away fans has a different atmosphere, that could put people off, not sure what being French has to do with it?

There is no advantage to a referee not going to the video ref if there is even the slightest amount of uncertainty. Very few will praise a ref if they make a judgement call on a close decision and get it right. Everyone will criticise if they did the same and got it wrong. Same for video refs. What do they gain by being quicker? If they are quicker, they won't get any praise for it but are more likely to get decisions wrong. I wouldn't mind getting rid of video referees apart from 1 captain's challenge per game but accept that means more decisions will be incorrect as a result. For me, a less stop start product is more important that a correct decision but I think the majority feel the opposite, hence our current system.

This sounds like the London model, its very much an outsiders model of a team. Sports teams are built on local support, placing a team in a region and saying there you go its for all of you won't work. Its building on sand instead of a solid foundation.

Oliver Cromwell established the Common Wealth and England lost probably it's one and only moment especially later when he made sure only the well off really counted.

But you don’t!

i just want to know thicko if we can put a squad that can compete very simple.

Less than two days and we’ll know .

That seems a pretty good assessment with only a few omissions, and the most telling difference is still the backers other clubs have.
