  1. There are certainly some good things - hints of increased SL attendances, potentially more TV viewers than before, Vegas coming up! I do think having the BBC1 Saturday pm slot for several weeks could be important. I am deffo primed for a ramp up in all things RL. But also: our national team remains hidden away to the point that it is now dormant.
  2. I think this is the nature of forums. But "combative", "upset", etc., are not what I'm seeing or feeling. This is pretty minor stuff. I'm just here because I'm waiting for a 1000 meeting.
  3. That kind of thing is what we need more of. I just feel Warrington has the balance wrong this time and handed over top billing to its opening home game. Like every thread on here, it is not at all a big deal.
  4. Again. Precisely my point. A coming together of equals (ish). Let's do more of that. But I bet Leeds aren't re-naming Headingley as Elland Road for the occasion. It's the balance that is completely off with this LL stuff.
  5. Indeed - that was precisely my point. Luke Littler stadium, pics of Luke Littler, interviews with Luke Littler. I'm not sure we're getting very much here at all.
  6. I do rather feel that Luke Littler needs no further promotion.
  7. Playoff format is to play each team in the other division once - 4 games total. Top 2 are in the 2026 Champo. There is then a 3rd/4th play-off for final spot in the 2026 Champo. Please - no silly suggestions about that play-off being the '£250 game'.
  8. Looks as if Sky Sports SM is starting to give SL a bit of a push ahead of next week. Love the NFL thing but not so enamoured by Warrington naming their stadium after Luke Littler. The Luke Littler tie-ins are just a bit tacky now.
  9. Still my view: The NRL must be awful to deal with. Almost certain that they are the reason behind the delay as nothing else really stacks up. The RFL has handled all this very poorly. Zero comms hasn't worked. No sign of building our own mid-season international/rep programme is madness in the face of the power imbalance in the NRL's favour. We are weak, sure, but we are also coming across as craven. The women's Ashes aren't considered inportant by anyone.
  10. We talk about creating narratives and peaks during the season. Bookended by both the women's and men's cricket Ashes, we really could have pushed 2025 as a year-long contest between England and Australia. So many opportunities for cross-promotion. Women's Ashes launched by a blockbuster Vegas 1st test, followed by two tests in April/May (outside NRLW and WSL windows) and then a men's series running in October/November, straight into the cricket version. The advantages of being able to push all of this from the end of 2024 are obvious. Wasted opportunity.
  11. It certainly is. IMG deffo the key in making it happen. Only point I was making was that it was available in the deal before this one.
  12. That sounds promising. I don't suppose you heard whether this includes the women too.
  13. That's good. However, the coach drain is also a worry for the community game. A couple of our London/SE clubs are now advertising for new head coaches because of this Broncos hiring strategy (I believe). I am not critical at all btw. Hopefully this builds the stock of experienced coaches in this part of the world.
