Just Browny

That's what I take it to mean. Who knows what the conversion into sales will be but it must be a very promising level of interest at this stage.

RFL saying 50,000 signed up for pre-sales codes. Promising.

What does 'investment' mean? There are plenty of businesses and public sector organisations in France who sponsor Catalans and Toulouse, thus bringing money into RL and paying player wages.

It might sound like excuse-making but I do think Mother's Day is a tough sell for some clubs. I thought Halifax would be lowish because they were at home last week too. 4-5k vs the Bulls on Good Friday is doable.

Remember this is just a rugby forum full of rugby geeks. Many of the people who will need to fill seats are still on Facebook saying things like 'it should be £10 adults, £5 kids so it will sell out' and 'why are we playing rugby league in London'.

Probably fair comment. I'm still hoping that 2023/early 2024 Vaughan might return - if he does then we might compete in the top 4. At the moment he is still a shadow of that but is starting to show a bit more impact.

Good game. Bit of a disastrous play by Catalans to half tackle Welsby and then let get go of him, gave Saints 15 extra metres and chance for that drop goal.

Aww bless, after Paasi had smacked him round the head twice.

Nasty challenge by Paasi

My son (6) just muttered, "I hate smart meters."

Wow they've really worked hard to find a way to cancel this, fair play.

If any Saints players had chased the ball as hard as they chased the ref down, Whitehead wouldn't have got anywhere near.

Haha disgraceful to give that as a ball steal.

Catalans dominant, but Id expect Saints to be equally dominant with the wind and those two soft tries will cost the French side.
