  1. The last season of AFLW was a car crash. They crammed everything into a short period, played at really weird times and there was no logic to where and when games were played. Ended up with a low crowds, annoyed longer term supporters and burnt out players playing a cardio sport with no energy. Meanwhile, the AFL, seem throughly bemused that the “play it and people will turn up” strategy doesn’t work when you antagonise every potential demographic who might come and watch.
  2. Enjoying the physicality and sh1thousing in this Switzerland - Iceland game. You wouldn’t want every one to be like this but it’s tasty.
  3. I’m apparently being given a club tracksuit in my role as camera pointer at Hastings. FKW here I come.
  4. To play that badly and only lose 2-1 … all hinges on the Netherlands game now
  5. England looked *appalling* in the field and watching a couple of them - really not sure what is going on with attitude and fitness. India will be gutted but should probably still win the series. And Sky did avoid mentioning a non called wide in the penultimate over as well.
  6. Why does Hetherington need to prove the bizarre assertion that Southampton couldn’t support a top flight RU team?
  7. I presume Vannes? Not bigger than every SL club but seem to be bigger than some. Also, whilst RU isn't as big in France as some voices claim, it's also not a regional niche like RL sadly is.
  8. Red Bull lost around £60m last year and is currently closing pubs. Not sure they're the most secure direction right now.
  9. Know a few people who are cut up by this one
  10. Tell me you haven’t a clue about the wider sports market at the time nor about the value of decent production sellable streaming without telling me etc etc
  11. Some better than others whilst the clubs have been consistently voting for whatever takes the pressure off them in the moment.
  12. No point putting out a development squad as there are no other games they are being developed for - and if they play a full strength side they will win by whatever score they want to win by. It probably would have made more sense for Wales to play Scotland first and then England but we seem to be in a 'beggars can't be choosers' approach here.
  13. See above. It is always the difference between accessing in the UK and then outside the UK.
  14. We need to make this a sticky because it comes up every summer without fail
  15. It will be a complete joke but very much in keeping with the “anyone but IMG” noises that have allowed the current loser mob to take unimpeded control.
  16. Unfortunately most of the rich benefactors’ money went on the rich benefactors’ whims. But why is the game so weak in its supposed M62 heartland where it is meant to be beloved. More people in every council area play and watch more soccer than rugby league. And yet the RL there have an embarrassment of resources.
  17. https://www.rugby-league.com/article/63962/england-women-to-face-wales-in-an-international-fixture-this-august Both games in Neath. England on 1 August, Scotland on 3 August. The latter will be Scotland's first ever senior women's international.
  18. Beatrice Egli - a bit of a superstar in that there Europe - sings the anthem and we're all set for Switzerland v Norway.
  19. Meh, their (our) Gaza blockade busting one is better. As worn by Kneecap the other day, in fact. In the light of that, the Oasis match up is a bit of a surprise!
  20. You live in absolute fear that rugby league in England will break out into new places. Thankfully for you, with a five decade pedigree, it's a traditional sport in London.
  21. It will be button money to them but a big deal to us. The same with the reputational damage.
  22. Negotiating a pay off has been mentioned on this thread.
  23. The clubs don't like IMG or the twenty-first century - and so lock in Toulouse and London to Super League and pull up the drawbridge whilst nobody can be bothered to put in place any kind of useful structure or strategy for any other aspect of the game. There's something about unintended consequences right there. It would be awful and I may never stop laughing.
