Thanks for that, hardly answers the question though

Toulouse vs Swinton was held in Carcassonne yesterday. Anyone know how many turned up?

And for any of you fools doubting these teams and their readiness to take to the field next month, I suggest you look at their buzzing social media accounts, last posts were: Valencia: 14th of April Alicante: 29th of April (and a whopping 61 followers) Bristol: 29th of April Bath: 29th of April Nothing dodgy at all going on here. See you at the games!

Just looking at the fixture list on their website, I see the big Bristol vs Bath clash is on the same day as the Super League Grand Final!! This will drastically reduce the crowd at Old Trafford, RFL should consider finding an alternative date for the GF!

What is the context here? Are you based there?

Really worrying. I fear they are headed towards disaster. They seem a mess and cannot even beat the likes of Cornwall these days.

Is the Skolars take over still happening?

How has this thread made it to two pages?!

1284 for Newcastle vs Haven. From memory, Newcastle have been getting in the 600s at their last few matches. Can anyone explain this sudden spike?

Today (in this video) Shaun Wanes says "at the World Cup in 2026 in New Zealand" . Does he know something that we don't?

It is. This is the final match though. These are the only two winless teams, so I believe the loser gets relegated.

oh wow, I thought I had seen on twitter that they were close to 6k in pre-sales. But may have gotten my wires crossed.

Did Bradford-Keighley crack the 6k like they were saying they would?

I am scalping Bath vs Alicante tickets if anyone is interested?

I'll be tempted if he keeps starting these pointless threads

Sorry. It was a rhetorical question I wrote it only because it seemed the two OPs were treating this twitter account as an actual real RL club.

What league do they play in?

http://bit.ly/3NobxrW “The intention is to bring back the Club XIII concept for domestic-based players and a Scotland ‘Exiles’ for Scottish-qualified players based elsewhere. The two will then meet and a Scotland ‘A’ team to play international fixtures will be selected from there.” McGuffog added: “I want to look at creating genuine pathway opportunities for both players and coaching staff alike. I would like to think that Scotland ‘A’ could be a stepping stone for homegrown players to make the full international side too, and that having a chance to gain international honours will attract new players to rugby league.” I do not like this. Why not let homegrown players play against the likes of Netherlands and Germany, or even Ireland (domestic) as full internationals? What are they afraid of? Losing a match and dropping down a spot on IRL rankings? Which mean nothing anyway? He says this will attract more players to the sport, I disagree, I think it is just condescending. Anyway, good to see Scotland showing signs of life again, I hope they keep it up.

Is there any footage? I never saw the incident.

I think it still exists but tends to be named "Lionhearts tours". Midlands Lionhearts, Cumbria Lionhearts etc. Was happening fairly regularly pre-pandemic, hopefully it starts up again. Was a great idea and it was great that "weaker" teams, from non-heartlands were touring as well. Good for them, as well as their opponents as it usually meant we would see a much more even contest.

Fun fact: If a Partizan player also plays national team, he has done the following trips recently: 13/05: Athens, Greece vs Serbia 27/05: Udine, Italy vs Serbia 03/06: Athens, AEK vs Partizan 10/06: Montenegro, Tivat vs Partizan Of the last 5 weekends, only one has been spent at home. All for amateur Rugby League, respect! I am sure there are other examples, but this one comes to mind as I just noticed it now.
