He's obviously not selected. The other not selected players Currie, Lewis and Talty are all mentioned in every press release. Smithies?

No mention of Smithies or have I missed something?

At least 1 in Spain for a start. If DAZN continue the same service for the same price as the last few years, I'll be well pleased.

That feels a tad premature, but nevertheless very impressive. You calculated that assuming New FRRLFC will be ranked 21 of 21?

Well. I think we're all St. Thomases at this stage. But, here we go. Thank you for that.

If Featherstone Rovers don't appear in 2027 there will be all kinds of reasons why. The financial delinquency of the previous owners and senior staff will be chief among them. Abi Ekoku will also have blood on his hands.

Is he into the RLWC too?

Tickety boo.

That is, of course, what should have happened for the 2026 season. But the only people with enough time and information to bid for control of a 2026 version of FRRLFC were the previous owners. The timing of the administration made sure that would always be the case. We could blame the RFL for deciding that the people who had run FRRLFC for 17 years were somehow no longer "acceptable" people to run the club in 2026. Or we could blame the previous owners. Or both.

You're funny. When the bosses of the Australian domestic league are ready, they'll tell you what international rugby league fixtures will be allowed in 2027.

In the eight team women's RLWC2026, Featherstone Rovers have no players in the England or Wales squads, but two players from our 2026 squad have been selected for France: Tessa Benmalek and Cristina Song Puche.

Well, that was slim pickings, wasn't it? In the last World Cup we had Jonathan Ford, Nu Brown, and others. This time, just three ex-players. From the England squad we might have expected As Handley, Tom Johnstone or James Harrison, for example, but no. Anyone going down under to watch the tournament? Anyone taking out a Premier Sport subscription to watch it on the telly?

Just three players from the nine squads announced so far

I'm no expert, but probably not. Fev Lions would be inadequate as it stands in terms of their gate taking facilities. Ok for a crowd of 100/200 but otherwise would be overwhelmed. I think the same at Sharlston too. Ponte FC I also doubt Totally agree with your second paragraph.

I accept your logic, but not in our case. The ground, training field, carpark and land is the property of the club. Who actually owns how much of the club is not clear, though the former chairman is clearly the major shareholder. It was his package to rescue the club for 2026 which was deemed unacceptable by the RFL (a whole side story in itself). A new company supposedly own the "extra" land, and that company is supposedly owned 50% by the former chairman and 50% by the club. And there,within these years unclear suppositions, lie the problems and delays. Where could Fev go short term? Wakey. Possibly Batley. Where could they go medium long term in Featherstone? Only Post Office Road. If the stadium is sold off for housing, we're finished.
