Glad you had a great time, Bearman. It's a long-term project, and everyone at the club is working to make it a success. It will be. There were definitely that many there. That's the figure from the gate attendant receipts. Also, with regard to local recruits, bear in mind that Sam Snell (2nd row) now has two tries in two games. That's the kind of raw talent we are unearthing and developing. Really looking forward to welcoming travelling RL fans over coming months. They play such a big part in adding to the event and bringing new local fans up to speed.

Good luck Cornwall. We had a great day there today. The atmosphere was fantastic. The home crowd never shut up ( not sure about the 1400÷, but there was a large game for League 1. So well done to all concerned) They will win a few games BUT they need to find RL players. Low level union players just don't cut it. Being local isn't enough. They have the chance to do something special for RL and I hope they do. Sorry we put a damper on your party, To the Cornwall fans get behind your team, they could be quite special.

Just back from the match, well back to hotel in Plymouth Many good impressions, sitting on the train from Plymouth and hearing the ticket inspector keep repeating change at Truro for Penryn, a good selection of RL shirts on the train and a combination of RL fans and Cornwall meant friendly people. Doubt I have chatted to as many RL fans in a single day before with the journey back similar the ground was better than I expected, slightly ramshackle stand and cover opposite, albeit blocked by tv gantry today. Plenty of grass banking and nice weather in any event Everything well organised for food and drink with no queues. Heard in advance 1000 plus tickets sold but would estimate crowd a bit lower than that For a first match could not have been better organised On the field, I have to admit I am a part time Hurricanes fan so have seen some large home defeats. Cornwall had the ball for almost all of the first five and the visitors scored against the run of play but then one way traffic and 0 40 at half time. Sone players clearly lacked the experience but the score was mostly due to one off mistakes. Second half was level until the last minute. a significant end to end slope may have been a factor Nothing overall but positives and those on the train said they would come again Where players will come from ti improve the team is an issue but the ones they have will get better and there does seem to be an acceptance that victories over West wales and maybe Skolars and hopefully a couple of bonus wins elsewhere will suffice. Long term other factors will influence success, failure and longevity but for today, well done Cornwall ,

For those not so familiar with the local RU attendances. Worth noting that Cornish Pirates opened their season in 21/22 with 1263 against Richmond and average around 1800 a game. 1500 is a great start!

Don't know the official attendance figure but I do know this was a major success for Cornwall and the game. Really hope the locals come back next week because the club and the players really seem to be committed to making this work. You had to be there today to see how good the event was.

From what I saw this morning, the whole Wests team is abysmal. Why drop him and not others - a standard even worse than the rest?

Just wanted to say i’m impressed with the level of professionalism on Cornwall’s online presence. Their website is as good as any Super League team and probably better than most. I’m often astounded at how bad some Rugby League clubs are online. Even at the top level it can take days for match reports to appear or results to be updated. I’ve just been on the Skolars website and they still have last seasons table up. They might not have the squad yet, but Cornwall are doing all the right things off the field to show that they’re a serious club.

This is a learning curve for Cornwall at the moment. Things will improve

Wests would be 100 times better with Jackson Hastings and Adam Doueihi in tye halves but by the time they get them together the season may be gone.

Attendance of 1473.

I won't disagree with that. That squad is a ramshackle bunch and Elkie Brooks is probably a better shout than Luke at 7. He is stealing a living.

Yes all their games are on Our League. Home and away I believe.

Gildart and Thompson have both joined clubs that they may have hoped would be turning a corner, but haven't yet. Let's face it, even the current #1 Kangaroo selection on the wing, Josh Addo-Carr, has been able to do very little at the Bulldogs. Imagine how much he'd be slated on this thread if he was a Brit. Listening to the ABC Grandstand radio commentary this past weekend, the commentator said of Wests that they just don't look like they are enjoying it at all, even when things (however briefly) go well for them.

I thought Luke Thompson had a strong game in a losing team against the Premiers

If im honest I don't care about anywhere else. Me and my grandkids like in the uk. An absolute cesspit where child abusers have seemingly had free reign to abuse. My hometown being a vile example. Abusers hiding behind authorities reluctance to investigate. Senior public figures allowed to perpetrate their offending paedophilia with impunity protected by an organisation too focussed on ratings and image than protecting the innocents. I'd love to know the full story on the N Wales children's home scandal. The uk is rank when it comes to protecting children. I'm not going into any ###### for tat comment with residents of anywhere else. We have our own house to get well and truly in order.

There’s an Australian half back en-route to Cornwall. Been in a Queensland cup system recently so should add a bit of quality to them.

They will be available to re watch once Our League makes it update their website. You will even have the chance to see the highlights on the website and on Cornwall's youtube page.

Richard Griffiths , now there was an actor

Lovely day for the first ever home game in Penryn. I'm sure the game will live up to the occasion and the Cornwall first win won't be too long after today

Only brief highlights on the NSWRL website but Harry Rushton looked to have a good game for the Raiders in NSW Cup. He went over to Australia as an edge player but is playing prop now and looks a big unit. This weekend he topped the tackle count, ran for 144 metres and bagged a try and an assist. Hope he gets a chance to play first team at some point this year.

New Series Trailer!

Because he's a Pom. Because he's one of the 'dogs leading players. Check out his stats, they're reasonable given he's in a struggling team. He is ranked fifth for Canterbury in NRL Fantasy indicating he is one of their stronger performers.

Not just the 80s mate.... I live in Rotherham..... it was horrific in this sheeithole of a Borough.
