I'd wager if it doesn't go ahead. That will be time for the RLWC for a long time.

I agree. Time to look at whether 2022 is possible instead.
Would you trust Aus to take part in 2022. I wouldn't.

More of a thread about if it would be possible. And if anyone could come up with line ups.
-
Could we come up with two sides from SL based players?

In my view it should go ahead as planned. Replace Aus and NZ with two invitation sides named Loyal Australia and Loyal New Zealand,
I agree, but RFL/IRFL would never have the backbone to ###### off NRL. Although they must realise that they are no longer friendly partners and the quicker we move on from them (NRL) the better.

The RFL and IRFL have no backbone so it is likely to be postponed.
But in my opinion. You can easily make up two Australian and NZ invitational teams from players over here and players willing to break ranks.

Unfortunately we now have to act as if Australia and NZ no longer exist in the international game.
It will be difficult but it must be done. We can no longer depend on them to act as a friendly partner.

I just bought the Oxen Leeds Cotton Jersey and its the weirdest cut I have ever seen on a t-shirt.
It's like a corset in the midriff,no wonder its on sale already.

Never needed to sign a superstar? Possibly why you struggle neare the bottom than the top,then.
Your club blew money on Lui because you signed a half back you didn't like,after a handful of games - He went to Salford while Lui went in the opposite direction.
Your club also appointed a coach they decided they didn't like - after a short time.
Perhaps there is a pattern emerging - pointing towards recruitment - and a lack of signing superstars.
Huh!?
Thats literally what I said.
We never needed to sign big names due to our success in the past, now we are struggling to progress while we blow big money on firefighting.

There still seems to be this attitude that, if Leeds whistle, the players will come running because.................well, we're Leeds. They, and I include most of their fans, still see themselves as the premier British RL club whereas they are also rans in terms of contracts and coaching systems.
Maybe these are just some of the reasons why Leeds fail to sign the right players, who knows?
Anyway, I reckon Eastmond gave it a go and found it didn't work, relinquished his (not massive) contract and will move on to something else.
I'm not saying your wrong but as someone else mentioned in the last page. Leeds have never needed to sign a superstar. We have always lost players to Wigan, Warrington and Saints because of our previous salary policy. But we never needed to push the boat out because of the "golden generation"
Who was the last World class singing Leeds made Ellis, Peacock? Were taking a decade ago. We haven't been challenging for great signing for years.
Now we're blowing money on anyone that's available like Lui or at the time an injured Gale.

I think this is indicative of Leeds demise. It was a desperation signing.
I might sound like a prima donna Leeds fans but the '17 GF win and last years Cup win has papered over some huge gaping cracks. We have been a poor side for 4 years now and we are a million miles away from Saints, Warrington and Wigan.
We need a proper plan and stop with the desperate signings.

Why is it ridiculous , it has everything needed to have a televised triple header in a covid pandemic , anyway it doesn't really matter , you wouldn't have been attending anyway , would you ?
Because showing our showpiece games in a flatpack community stadium in a small town no one has heard of is ridiculous.

Initial allocation 600 tickets per team
Some Leigh Councillor must have something on the RFL because the amount we use that stadium is ridiculous.

I do feel alot of small town northerners seems to be homebirds.
They are much more happy scrapping at a local Castleford or Wigan nightclub.

You really have to think the Catalans always seem to have to play against 14.
Warrington are getting away with everything.

If Sky is going to have cameras at every game, then arguably they may actually broadcast more than just the 66 games listed in the Press Release.
The wording very specifically states that those 66 will be 'exclusive' to Sky, but potentially those extra '20' up for re-sale, may also be simulcasted on Sky and BBC / Our League / etc.
That said, that still leaves another 90 odd games which unless OurLeague can take, would be a bit weird for Sky to film, unless the plan is to sell that extra content to Fox League and Sky in NZ.
It says 66 will be broadcast on Sky sports the rest will be shown on other free to air Sky platforms.

Can I get a link or source to this?
I've just had a look, I can only see a Yorkshire Post article. So it has not been officially confirmed by anyone.
So I'm still a little confused because nowhere in the press release does it say games will go on terrestrial tele. Only that games will be on FTA Sky platforms.

BBC are going to be showing up to ten Super League games.
I stand corrected thanks for that, very good news.
Edit- can only find one source, has not baan officially announced by anybody.

It seems quite explicit that the free to air games will still be on SKY platforms so maybe Sky mix or red buttons or online. So I'm not sure why people are getting excited about C4 or C5 showing live games.

Anyone who really cares anymore? We will play about 4 games in this shirt and wont be seen for another 18-24 months where we will have a new kit provider and maybe a new badge design.
It is just the case we are polishing up the same old ###### over and over. Until we start playing regularly it doesn't matter what the badge or kits look like.

Am I the only one who can’t stand a st georges cross on a shirt. The ones we’ve had in the past look awful/tacky.
Yep always remind me off those knock off England tops the supermarkets do during tournaments

Unfortunately this is often the way and not even just the Times, even those organisations that hold RL rights often ignore RL in lists like this.
Yep, I suspect the BBC will only advertise that they will be showing the RLWC the night before the opening game.

I don't get the replies of Leigh would be the most competitive. Toulouse have been the better team for 3 years.

I don't buy this argument. Everyone loves winning. I don't think suddenly losing will bring the fans back.
The All Blacks have won 80% of their matches in their 100+ year history.
