You really are an unapologetic pedant I've said before it really doesn't matter what it's called as long as people are picking up a rugby ball

Spot on. This thread is nearly 100 pages of fanciful ideas all missing one very important point. That the structure is not the problem!!!

This is up there as one of the most bizarre things I've ever read on this forum. Footballs popularity in part is due to how easy it is to play. Rugby (both codes) is one of the toughest sports any initiated person can play. Makes me think you've never played the game at all

I subscribed when they had Wolfpack games on there. Think they also showed NRL and they had other stuff like British ice hockey which was OK. I think they usually have offers for 6 and 12 month subscriptions so a lot cheaper than monthly

Pretty sure you would hear clubs plans if they knew what was happening next year, and the year after, but they don't. This is good news for midlands rugby league but until everyone knows what's going on I expect clubs won't release plans

That's a good one

I'm looking forward to the championship games but then I was a big fan of the middle 8s

Both finished ahead of Doncaster? Strange statement to make as there's really very little between 2nd and 5th.

After taking an absolute pasting the last time they played Doncaster at home its written in the stars that Crusaders will win

You seriously believe that. Who's going to offer a multi million pound TV contract to a competition that doesn't even exist yet and is made up currently of amateur teams. Someone has been having you on

Great to see the Wolfpack back playing. I still have concerns about the viability of the NARL competition but it's clear theres still a big interest in RL in Canada

What a remarkable effort from Haven who were favourites for relegation and likely have one if the smallest budgets in the league. Just shows anything is possible. I would say I bet London are regretting forfeiting the Toulouse game now but I suspect they are just happy to finish the season

To be fair I don't know much so we'll have to wait and see. All I know is Alan has had long term plans to take the next step for the Bears. The plus side of the funding issue is it may have speeded things up. Hopefully some positive news in the coming weeks and months

Early days but I expect there'll be big plans to grow RL in the midlands.
