Just Browny

No but we have a timeline for a first draft of the terms of reference.

Hmm. I've seen more discarded cycles than Amsterdam central station, so I will let others get excited. The fact that we are instituting a new 4 year cycle for the Ashes, with the next one in three years, is so rugby league it hurts.

Featuring Willie Peters as Tom Cruise presumably. What a pile of .

So when he made that burst through the middle beating about five at Wembley, he did it by accident? Ok.

So was Walsh in second gear then?

It's an absolutely fundamental issue if I'm a club CEO trying to determine what to do with the last £50k or £100k in my budget for next year. Do I sign a player who can be the difference between 13th and 14th, or commission some work on my stadium?

Do we know what happens if you finish bottom next year? Relegation, or will the teams in SL for 2027 (numbers currently tbc) be determined by grading scores?

Like a big school register?

Ok, they'll need to get the scrum half they've got onto the pitch.

Before Nigel goes off on his end of season cruise if possible.

It's the sort of minutiae I find myself getting bogged down in during the off season. It seems more people than I realised were impressed by the approach they took to the League One playoffs this year. Maybe if we went to FPTP, I'd be allowed to consider that worthy of comment? Who knows really.

I've checked a couple of times and can't find the bit where I said we had to know 'NOW' (in capitals or otherwise). I think I just said it was a detail that is outstanding. But the fact so many of us think it is perfectly normal that we have decided this yet says a lot really.

They'll need to find a good scrum half. All the other pieces of the puzzle are there.

You what? I have to say I'm pleased everyone is so chill about whatever playoff system thrown our way next season. I'm not because we've had a lot of ###### ones.

And the number of teams in the playoffs.

Im surprised by the love for the Sky coverage of the Pacific Cup. This morning they literally cut the feed as Cooper Cronk was mid-sentence; it hardly suggested care and attention. Even at 5am there was no sign of the match being on unless you dug out the Rugby League section on NowTV.

They'll still be briefing on Griff on how it's the only possible setup that works.

The two newest threads feature the word 'structure' in the title, so early signs are that it will be a typical RL off-season.

Probably waving their fists at the telly demanding more six-agains.

I'm sure the hosts of the 2031 union world cup would have snapped your hand off for a 58-6 when they came up against Scotland last week. 58-6 is a big win, it is no disgrace in an international where there are often mismatches in quality.

Oledski?

Well they should, because it involves travelling to the other side of the world when they can do a similar job at home.

Good to see Sourh Africa didnt get hammered. Congratulations to the Cook Islands for qualifying.

Yes and the big Samoa forwards kept running at him time after time, and most of the time he managed to get in the way and at least slow them down. A very important performance.

Genuine question - who decides if Wane stays on? Is it Abi Ekoku? I literally have no idea whose decision/responsibility it is.
