  1. Always good to use to bids:
  2. I think RL at the Santiago Bernabeu would be great. A massive, rebuilt stadium with steep imposing stands and the home of a historic Football team. The WCC challenge played there and Wigan v Brisbane Broncos.
  3. Fine for me but this normally happens when you are showing up as viewing from overseas. Are you using a VPN?
  4. I think in isolation its okay but also think France have had far better kits.
  5. Considering the people that have come out and said the same on record its not really just one person's opinion. After a year long investigation and a mutual consent leaving then I certainly think the old adage that there is no smoke without fire applies.
  6. Attendances are an average over 3 years, surely London aren't getting another 1.25 points on the back of a season where they just crept over the 3k threshold when previously they had 1,079.
  7. I agree. I could support the move to 14 if they said in 2027 and clubs had to provide monetary guarantees. Even at that it needs to be equal funding. Ideally you go to Sky or whoever and say will you pay more for 14 teams and an extra game per week (at a basic level). 2026 when we are now into July is just madness.
  8. I don't think anyone expects this anymore. It would be like expecting Comical Ali to have challenged Saddam Hussein.
  9. Clubs will scramble to get in, promise the world and that they can survive with limited money, then plead poverty and say they can't afford it. 2 clubs on less money just isn't a long term, sustainable plan.
  10. Yeah. We have this in place for good reason and presumably following medical advice. Its impossible to just pick and choose when this should be enforced.
  11. A bit of sucking up to the boss.
  12. I'm categorising it as not Rugby League. So you don't think Run It Straight is nonsense?
  13. Saw this a few days ago. For me it should be on the AOB - This nonsense is not Rugby League.
  14. Ellery Hanley is the last I can think of.
  15. I'm not sure it matters to much at international level how great a coach is. I think it's more man management as much as anything and is all about harnessing the players you have to effectively play as a team for a few short weeks. Obviously they can't be completely useless either, and I'm not saying you are right or wrong, just more of a general observation really.
  16. I'm a Wigan fan and Eckersley has a lot of improvement to do on the wing yet to even think about that.
  17. There has been stuff like that but its been for the series rather than Wembley specifically:
  18. I've seen a few general ones but I suppose this was Wembley specific from last week:
  19. The amount of times I have heard this, or variations of this, over the last 20 years!
  20. I dont think anyone thinks these things will automatically result in an increased TV deal. However improving the competition, making it more attractive to sponsors, fans and viewers and generally having a more appealing competition makes it more likely that other parties will be interested that will drive up value.
  21. That's why I said if that money was ring fenced.
