Had Elon built X Stadium on Mars yet?

Is it anything like that Ice Gridiron I see is played in Germany with no skates?
I'll have to give that a look for research purposes...

Think that's the LLS wrapped up now.
Unless Leeds can spring a shock.

Some tremendous scramble by Salford defence. I feel for them. Deserve more from this game.

We disagreed about the captains challenge call earlier, but I agree that Salford haven't been given much at all tonight.
Clear knock on. I've never seen "he's holding on to his shirt still" as an excuse for being allowed to knock on at the PTB.

Warrington player shoves over Salford player after the tackle. Blows whistle and tells him to play the ball again. What the hell? It's a penalty!

Salford have been done over at times by this decision making.
Marsters has been awful though for this period. Taking out the catcher, giving away 6 again on the last, now dropping that kick with no pressure in the in goal.

Where the players used to come out in the South/East corner
Is that where they used to have the big inflatable wildcat?

I prefer my idea of playing both cup semi finals at the same time on one pitch. So, for example, Saints Vs Wigan and Hull FC vs Hull KR. one set of match officials each.
Just don't tell the New Regime, they'll probably go for it.
Needs more jeopardy.
They should split the try area in half. See if they can trust each other

Ask Craig Franklin at Hull KR what numbers he tracks every day. Literally on a live dashboard. Viewers > engagement > followers > ticket and merch sales. Hull KR sold more merch in April 2025 than they did in the entire season in 2018. A season in a month.
Some may argue that has more to do with their recent on field success.
That may be in part true, but not the whole story.

Or Run it Rectangle where you have two teams on a rectangular playing field. The goal is to touch a ball down in a zone whilst the other players try and stop them by running at them from 10 metres away. Each team gets 6 attempts at getting it in the zone before the other team gets a go.
Too complex for the viral, few seconds of attention market.
I still think my Ice Rugby League idea from the past has merit...

Those clubs aren't in the English Premiership though are they? Genuine question, I pay as little attention to it as possible. Looking at some loose numbers on google, it had participants in league in England as 55k and Union just in England at 240k. Their new TV deal for the Premiership only is worth £40m a year, compared to ours at £20m a year. They then have a 10 team top division and we're talking of 14 teams. I don't see how we sustain that without it being substandard, without a long term plan, that isn't just go to 14 teams asap and hope a couple don't want any central funding IMO.
I think the point he was making is that there may be less clubs in England, but there's loads in the immediate area so the players have lots of opportunities to play fairly locally.
If you discount the other local clubs, then we're really 11 teams looking at going to 12 (with Catalans and Toulouse being French so not counting).
But I get your point about finance.
-
Can't we have an offshoot with a bit more skill, like "Run It Square"? Players start at opposite corners and they need to touch the ball down on a target at the corner flag before getting wiped out of the square?...
I await Time Bomb being played with an actual bomb.

"We have a big screen..."
That's not the infamous screen, is it?

Has it been confirmed yet that Super League is going up to 14 teams, as I've seen nothing to confirm it?
I'm talking about NRL increasing, not SL. If SL does too, that's double the reason.

I do agree with this, I'm not seeing a big exodus of English players at the end of this season.
I think it's the following season the worry is. With 2 new clubs coming in within the next 2 years, they'll need players from somewhere.

Who's actually supposed to be playing 2nd row for your guys?
Ligi Sao (injured in R2, out for season)
Jed Cartwright (tore hamstring R5, been out since March with no signs yet)
Jordan Lane (broken arm in CCQF, been out since April with no signs of returning yet).
We've Brad Fash too though, who recently returned from injury and occupies the bench.

Asiata and Pryce both did their hamstrings at the back end of May so you'd expect they won't be back for another month or so and that's if their rehab goes to plan.
I think the thing that's really killing us at the moment is the fact we've played for almost three months now without any second row forwards. Hardaker and Chamberlain have done a great job filling in but it's not the same as having players whose natural position it is.
Yeah can't wait for next year when we actually have some second rowers! Shame we haven't got any coming through that are showing signs yet. Because we've moved our first choice centres to accommodate other areas, meaning that's 4 positions without first choice. All has a knock on effect.
-
Too many unforced errors for Hull stopped us building any momentum in attack.
Washington's kicking game was immense. We rarely had field position to do anything. They were constantly attacking our line. We just defended for huge periods. Rapana had a game to forget.
We've moved a lot of players to accommodate for injuries and it's starting to show. How long until Asiata and Pryce are back?

Was Watkins not offside?

I, for one, would upgrade my Wembley seat to see if Adrian Morley could still make it down the pitch in 12 seconds to decapitate Robbie Kearns.
I wouldn't mind that... seeing as I missed it live due to traffic!

I like how you've merged 2 players together there

so the teams finishing this season in an even numbered position on the ladder would play clubs 12th and 14th in loop fixtures, and odd numbered finishes would play the 13th.
The whole point of going to 14 is to eliminate the need for loop fixtures altogether, so what you're talking about here makes no sense.
There would be no loop fixtures (except for Magic Weekend).

The next 3 are critical for Hull's playoff chances. Warrington away followed by Saints and Wakefield at home. Winning all 3 might be a stretch, but if we could I think we have one foot in the playoffs. But even 2/3 puts us in good shape. We then have Wigan away which I see as a free hit, before, on paper, the 2 easiest games of the season against Hudds and Salford at home (Huddersfield are very much resurgent at the moment though).
When we learned Asiata was done for 8 or 9 weeks we knew we would just have to grind out the results until his return. We are currently 2/3, if we can see off that period with 6/9 and get Asiata and Pryce back for the run in we will be very happy with that.
Yeah these next 3 weeks could be make it break for us. With the injuries we've got, I do with we won't get through. If we can somehow keep done form together, we could solidify a spot on the 6. Lose them, and we've lost ground on all of our main rivals for the 6.
Where in the world would you like to see a RL game played?
