1770 Halifax v Batley
I've seen 450 given on social media for Whitehaven v Sheffield, but that seems very low, and is not from an official source.

Love it that Widnes have managed to find some form in a season where it doesn’t really count for anything
It counts for us avoiding relegation
Dewsbury just scored, not over yet.

Matty Fozzard has twice dived over from dummy half to make it Dewsbury 0 Widnes 22 after 10 minutes of the second half. Not really the weather to be passing the ball.
-
Dewsbury 0 Widnes 12 HT. Widnes playing into the wind in the second half, which is obviously a massive factor in this game, and presumably the same in all the others today.

I can see Dewsbury pick pocketing Widnes should they not be 100% committed.
None of the Widnes fans on here have picked Widnes to win this game, and I'm a bit surprised everyone else has.
Dewsbury beat Batley pretty comfortably, and Batley won at Widnes last month, so they seem perfectly capable of winning even if we are 100% committed.
Whitehaven beat Sheffield Eagles home and away last season, IIRC.

Most youngsters who play sport will train 20 hours a week in the gym, group training sessions and games etc.. a lot of people spend 10 hours a week in the gym without playing sport.
Indeed. I earn a good bit more than SL players do, still manage to do 7-8 hours training & running most weeks. One of the lads I used to manage was in the UK rowing set-up, didn't make the Olympics but did get Commonwealth medals. He'd be out on the river at 5am for hours before a full-days work, plus evenings & weekends for gym, weights, coaching, competitions etc.
Big difference of course, is that neither running nor rowing require you to get physically battered and running the risk of serious injury every week, nor do they involve hundreds or thousands of people opining that you're not good enough, not trying hard enough to win etc.

two sub 10k crowds in apocalyptic conditions. Although I will always question the strategy of any club hosting a Fri 6pm KO at Homebush.
Can't imagine the Bulldogs game would've been better attended at Belmore, where cover is pretty limited except along one side (and even those sat at the front of the main stand get wet)? Perhaps a good thing that Parra, Penrith & Wests are all away this weekend, as it looks much worse out west?

Didn’t know the joint held that many. This looks to be the best immediate promotion performance for years and sustaining itself into year 2. Great job Leigh.
Capacity is higher than London, Salford, Hull KR, or Castleford (and not much different to Gilbert Brutus currently).

Just in case anyone hasn't already seen this Hibs free kick. Scottish football at its finest.

I'm talking about this year and do hope the Gold Coast will get some better support....St.George at Kogarah yes your right but so wrong about St.George at Wollongong as 16,000 plus at Win at the weekend just need mire games in the Gong.
Plenty of 8000 crowds at Wollongong last season. If you exclude the games played at country venues (Cairns, Bundaberg, Mudgee etc) four of the ten lowest NRL crowds last season were at Wollongong and two more were at Kogarah.

2013 RLWC semi final, brilliant game even though we lost.
Yes, would've been one of my all-time favourites if the clock had stopped a minute or so earlier...

Who cares the NRL is doing very well apart from Gold Coast.
Gold Coast who averaged over 19K home attendance last season? If you're picking a laggard in terms of attendances, St. George is clearly the one to go for, particularly home games in Wollongong, although Kogarah isn't much better.

Widnes lost to Sheffield in 1989 , after the WCC game. Sheffield then went on about it for years after!
I remember that game very well. Arrived about 2 hours before kick-off, no-one there to take my money, so just wandered into the ground. Saw the state of some of the Widnes players and knew we were going to get beaten. Also remember thinking that Kurt Sorensen's arms were about the same size as Jonathan Davies's legs.

So, let me guess, Aus still hold it, and it's the risk of losing the Courtney Goodwill Trophy that's the reason the international schedule is pretty much non-existent.
That's a good opportunity to remind ourselves that Australia's most recent game was a 30 points to 0 defeat against New Zealand

The Courtney Goodwill Trophy ran on this basis for some years - matches between GB/England, France, Australia, New Zealand were eligible and whoever beat the current holder became the new holder of it.

Have we had any of the various articles about the Fiji bid on here?

13k for Gold Coast seems very generous.
How so? It's less than 50% of the capacity at Robina, of course, and down on last season's average of 17K.
11 214 for Warrington v Catalan. Thought the Saturday afternoon KO and BBC coverage might've reduced that - seems like a pretty decent attendance.

Sat 6th-Sun 7th Apr: The Betfred Championship Match Thread

Plenty who already wanted him out a couple of months ago.
We've played three teams who I think most people would have as likely bottom four possibles. Halifax at home next, who also failed to make the playoffs last season, so again the kind of game we need to win to stay out of relegation contention. We've not really had any bother with injuries so far, hence being able to send people out on loan.
Pleasing thing for me has been the defence - averaging one point something try conceded per game so far.
