To be fair to Wigan RU, if they had let him in they would probably have faced sanctions from RU HQ in those days. I knew lots of union players then who were league fans.

Easy and obvious way to overcome the attendance problem. Relocate to Toronto.

Nothing new. Billy was subjected to racist abuse at every match I saw him play, as was every other black player

How about half a point if you hit the post?

Stade des matchs : Stade Girouette — 13 rue de Girouette, 64600 Anglet Between Bayonne and Biarritz.

A large part of the problem is that social media thrives on negativity and disagreement, and is encouraged by the media owners for financial reasons. You can see it on the majority of the threads in this forum.

Did they supply the infamous pie and peas?

If it's decided to keep the challenge, suitable tech should be a mandatory part of the next broadcasting deal.

I'd be in favour of it if the technology was in place. It seems to work ok in NRL.

The problem in SL is not the technology, but the lack of it. NRL coverage uses between 20 and 28 HD cameras, most with ultra slo mo. The challenges there are often decided in seconds. I've not been able to find out how many Sky use for SL other than a minimum of 8 which was announced at the start of CC. Our VRs are being asked to see if a hand separates from the ball when all they have to see is 2 blurred frames. Because of this I think it should be abandoned until the broadcaster can supply the tools. (Sky use up to 40 cameras for Premier League).

Replacing Toronto with Leigh (Runs for cover)

Not just US either. I was in Mexico some years ago and was gobsmacked to see Bolton Wanderers flags on houses in virtually every town I passed through, and even saw a Bolton match on TV in a bar. I found out eventually that a big Mexican star has signed for Bolton. I imagine it will be the same in other countries who have stars playing in European leagues.

I think we need less pedant's

I think you've nailed it, Goosey. 9pm UK is 7am in Brisbane.
