Viaplay also has the URC rights after BT and Sky dumped them.

Disappointing no sell out? Capacity 18k? Or was there a reason.
Commentator said Saints sold out all their tickets, any unsold were from the away allocation!

If we can have video refs just for games that are televised then we should also be able to have the captains challenge in those games too!

He was out on the balcony of the sponsors lounge chatting to the fans for the majority of the 2nd half.

In 2024 the potential England team contingent in the NRL are going to be (in likely field positional arrangement):
Will Pryce (Newcastle Knights)
Dominic Young (Sydney Roosters), Herbie Farnworth (Brisbane Broncos), Oliver Gildart (Dolphins) ?,
Jackson Hastings (Newcastle Knights)
Victor Radley (Sydney Roosters)
Elliot Whitehead (Canberra Raiders), John Bateman (Wests Tigers)
Tom Burgess (South Sydney), Josh Hodgson (Parramatta Eels), Luke Thompson (Canterbury Bulldogs)
Interchange: Ryan Sutton (Canterbury Bulldogs) Kai Pearce-Paul (Newcastle Knights), Kruise Leeming (Gold Coast Titans) (?)
This would make up a majority of the England team.
The England based players who would be likely selections in a 2024 England team at expense of some of the listed NRL players would be:
Jack Welsby (St Helens)
Tommy Makinson (St Helens), Mark Percival (St Helens)
Jonny Lomax (St Helens)
George Williams (Warrington)
Alex Walmsley (St Helens), James Roby (St. Helens)
Roby has retired from international rugby

I wouldn't be opposed to a mid-season or end-of-season Super League All Stars vs NRL All Stars.
Why not England v Australia full ashes
Series Instead of a convoluted invitational game!

The only time Latics have had a plastic pitch was pre-1991 way before the Yeds moved in, and though the council shafted the club with Watersheddings, it has only ever been OAFC's decision to boot ORLFC from BP. I would imagine part of the agreement between OAFC and the OMB for funding for the new hybrid pitch was on account of a fairly lengthy lease with ORLFC. Rothwell is a good local man keen on having the Yeds there and director Darren Royle (the unit on the right of the picture) has experience with ground sharing as CEO of Wigan Warriors.
The council paid for a multi use pitch during the Torex ownership years, when it was done Roughyeds were "kicked out" and the only multi use was as a landing pad for Mr Torex's helicopter

It comes down to the money, doesn’t it?
There is no historical or demographic reason why Leigh should be able to support a SL team whilst Oldham languish in League 1
The only real difference is that Leigh do have someone who (in the words of a prior poster) “has more money than sense”
They also had a local authortity that kept its promise on a new stadium when Hilton park was sold.

For a short time, we also had Aussie RL Action in the mid-80s.
I have a recolection of Aussie RL on tv in the late 60s/early 70s when there was the Brit invasion with Mal Reilly, Phil Lowe etc.
Also i think Granada's RL Live stopped in 91 when ITV got the Union world cup who Insisted no other rugby could be shown during their tournament.

Oldham had XXXX in the early 90s think they helped fund Bob Lindner's signing.
In the 80s they had Seddon Atkinson trucks, the logo was a capital A in a circle the team entered the field to the A team theme music.

Did Oldham level the Vestacare pitch or have I imagined that story?
No their new landlords AVRO AFC did it with the money they got from moving from their Lancaster club base that was "Sold" to OAFC then bought back from them by OLDHAM MBC.

In some cases, sharing with the football club was the only way rugby league clubs could gain access to modern facilities (both sports offered grant aid for new stadia/stadium improvements).
Oldham RLFC must hold some sort of record for sharing with football clubs (OAFC, Ashton United, Stalybridge Celtic, Oldham Town, Avro). For Roughyeds, selling Watersheddings to a housing developer, whilst apparently relying on continuing good relations with OAFC, was indeed the first step on the road to oblivion (or, at least, to attendances shrinking by nine-tenths).
In my experience, in a lot of places, few spectators watch both football and rugby league teams. My family relocated to Calderdale in 1973. The local rivalries meant nothing to us, so we'd go to The Shay and to Thrum Hall (and, for that matter, to Leeds Road and to Fartown). Didn't see many of the same faces at both sports. Given the poor - some might say toxic - relationship between the Halifax clubs since the rugby league started sharing the football ground, that's become even more apparent.
As a spectator sport, rugby union in Yorkshire barely exists. On a good day, Doncaster will get a thousand. After that, you're down to 350 at Otley, 250 at Huddersfield and Wharfedale, 150 at Harrogate and York etc. Don't know what Leeds Tykes get now they've fled to the city's outermost suburb because I ain't been.
Oldham RL sold watersheddings to the local council on the promise of a brand new joint use stadium for both the towns clubs. The plans were kyboshed when activists got Lib dem councillors elected on the single issue of saving the fields where the stadium was planned to go, the elected changed the make up of the council and the plans were scrapped.

Can anyone tell me what the yellow plastic flaps/tapes are for? Some have them on their arms, others on the legs.
They are tackle tags, the defenders have to remove a tag from the ball carriers arm to complete the tackle,the ones on the legs are to replace the ones removed from the arms

England women RU beat SA by 70pts this morning in front of a handful species. Do you think union fans will be all over forums calling for the WRUWC to be cancelled because it isn't competitive?.
England's womens soccer team beat Norway 8-0 and N. IRELAND 5-0 in their group no one said those countries shouldn't be there it was all about how good the Lionesses were.
As RL fans are we always too negative about our game?

A quick look through the Scotland RU squad shows numerous non Scottish born players, how competitive would they be without those heritage and time qualified players despite Union being played in Scotland unfettered for 150yrs.

Whatever.
If England had a big overseas tour or an Ashes series to play, Grace would have been in their squad.
You wouldn't.
As it was, they had one game a year against "the All Stars" so he jogged off to union.
Grace is Welsh, so he couldn't play for England
