RLWC Attendance-O-Meter
OriginalMrC replied to Jim from Oz's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
They should have given the tickets away for nothing. At least we'd have had full stadiums. Or would we -
Rugby League World Cup 2021 (Merged Threads)
OriginalMrC replied to frank's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Am so excited for this world cup. There's been the usual negativity but overall it feels like there is loads of positivity out there. This is set to be the biggest and best world cup yet. Let's get behind it -
Birth Places of RLWC 2021 players on a map
OriginalMrC replied to SydneyRoosters's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
This is brilliant, love stuff like this. Highlights how poor it is that Ireland only have 1 domestic player in their squad. Wales, Scotland and even Jamaica and Greece have more. As an Ireland fan it's disappointing they couldn't find a space for someone like Peter Ryan who has 3 full seasons in League one under his belt -
The Steve Crossley stuff really made me laugh. His impression was spot on As for Mick he's a character and the game would be much more boring without people like him. Everyone is entitled to disagree with what he says and does but I've met him and he's a nice guy, and got time for people.

For all the celebrations at Rimmer leaving I think he did an OK under difficult circumstances for the sport. Many of the issues such as Super League appointing a useless CEO, and Covid were largely out of his control. His heart is in the right place and certainly he wanted the best for the whole of the game. I'd be very worried that his successor will have a remit only to think about what's right for Superleague and damn what's below it.

Touch/Tag Rugby League TTRL

Yes thats them. Well done on the series win. I managed to catch a couple or games and the standard was very high from both teams -
Touch/Tag Rugby League TTRL
OriginalMrC replied to The Rocket's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Good luck. Think you have two lads from the Coventry and Warwickshire team I coached at the Tag Nationals -
Just seen it. Defender got his body in the wrong position and caught attacker high. Not a malicious tackle to try and do him. Very rarely see red cards for something like that in league 1 especially so early in the game. Skolars players didn't make much of it either but ref made the decision very quickly. Unlucky to see red.

World cup mascot RugBee. I love it
OriginalMrC replied to The Future is League's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
It's a brilliant mascot. Sorry to the grown adults that don't like it -
I suspect someone has been on holiday for 2 weeks since highlights are back!

I've enjoyed watching league 1 games on OurLeague but I'd be very susprised if Cornwall do it next year. Personally I think the circa £25-30k they've spent on it would have been better used to put a more competitive team on the pitch.

It's always the way with RL fans. The RFL cop a lot of flak but if they listened to the opinions of commentators on social media then the game would be a bigger mess than it is now! I remember when NARL was going to be bigger than Super League. I also remember how Euro XIII was going to transform RL across Europe. Certain sections of RL fans are always looking for something to save the game.

York bring nothing to the game. They need to be thrown out of the league. Time to concentrate on the heartlands. Etc etc etc- 198 replies

A lot of people here seem to be missing the point. What he is alleged to have done is largely irrelevant. Oldham could have got rid without putting out an ambiguous statement about gross misconduct. Seems they set themselves up for this to all come out in the wash.

As Bearman alluded to Hurricanes have a horrendous injury list this week. No excuses I still think we have enough quality to win but I've never seen anything like how this season has panned out injury wise. Probably around 15 of the squad unavailable! Fingers crossed a few walking wounded will be back

Newcastle profited from being closely linked with Falcons but now they will suffer because of it unfortunately. RU is in turmoil with many clubs close to liquidation. By the sounds of it the owner has decided he can't support two loss making clubs. Hopefully Thunder will continue but things dont look good with poor results and attendances down.

Well done Eddie you've done something lots of new clubs struggle to do and it's to keep interest and finish the first season. It's onwards and upwards from here. Keep going and who knows where the club will be in years to come

League One - What is the Future?
OriginalMrC replied to Mumby Magic's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I never said they were. It's quite the opposite, the club has good financial backing and with a move to Birmingham next year has a great chance to grow as a club. I was responding to the jibe about throwing good money after bad at 'expansion clubs'
