Rugby League World Cup 2021 (Merged Threads)
Pulga replied to frank's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
beIN to broadcast the World Cup in France. -
Almost 4 LSVs.

I apologise but I don't see how it can change for the better. The problems I hear of in Super League are identical to bush footy here in Australia. The community game and the professional game are mostly seperate in Australia and the NRL is now 15 - 20 times the size of SL. In England the professional game is the community game and all those silly biases and small town thinking creep in. P&R is a baby boomer's nostalgia trip and nothing more.

NZ Warriors & Vodafone Continue their Partnership
Pulga replied to RayCee's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
It's amazing the difference between the Warriors and the French teams in Super League. -
England Knights to play France B and Scotland
Pulga replied to Jughead's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Not necessarily. -
Interestingly, you need to have a 4 team domestic comp to keep your Affiliate Membership of the IRL. Only Affiliate and Full Members can qualify for the World Cup. I doubt this will change anything because the IRL bends and breaks the rules at will anyway if you're a good enough brown-noser.

NRL to play Double header in Perth

This is rugby league. Let's not jump the gun. -
What is the latest on South African Rugby League?
Pulga replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
This is more or less my same opinion. Just replace "South Africa" with "England". -
Are you sure England is better then Samoa?
Pulga replied to Young Blood's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Tapine is in ridiculous form but I wouldn't say he's "easily better". If he sustains his form he may well be though. All are unbelievable talents. -

Imagine if Haas and Tino commit.... Could be the greatest forward pack of all time. I'd need new underwear if I was lining up against them. -

Pulga replied to Young Blood's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Certainly not ridiculous. NZ and Aus are going to have their work cut out for them against this Samoan squad especially if there's a few more declaring for them as Papali'i hinted. -

It is a shame about the coach but I'd say the Samoan team as individuals are much better players. Great for the International game regardless. -

England are in enormous trouble I think. -
The funding is not the problem. It's what it is tied to. The game in England, as a brand, and in the eyes of the public is possibly at its lowest ever point. The continued doubling down as a Northern sport for Northern people is destroying the game. It's ever decreasing circles. Unless that money is used to break free of a certain motorway the game is shackled to, then the money is of no use. It will be squandered once again. We'll be having the same conversation in 2029 or 2033 except maybe Super League won't be full-time anymore.
