I just watched the replay. Surprisingly good quality production. London seemed on top first half, but scoreline didn’t show it. Second half was poor. Gorman didn’t play well. Walker wasn’t threatening. Poor passing from dummy half. Doncaster weren’t great. Gebbie was the difference.

Yeah exactly

Hard to think there’s a pathway for Salford to remain in SL. Their performance score will drop, and they’ll now lose 0.25 if the RFL agrees with the recommendation. They had a score of 13.97 but will lose the 0.25 and probably around 0.3 based on the 3 year average worsening. That takes them below Toulouse. Even if they get their finances in order, it’s a tall order.

If the match quality was to increase, and crowds, media interest and broadcast value also increase, SL clubs will be happy

North brussels gorillas?

Yes, Eccles was referring to the Nigel Wood review. With a bit of luck, Hetherington supporting Nigel’s comeback as a sort of quid pro quo. Either that or the SL clubs said “yeah, we want London, but only if Gary runs them.”

I feel like this sentiment was shared leading into the WC. A certain fellow from a certain North East club became involved in the ticketing, and doesn’t seem to have faced much accountability following those terrible sales. If we simply wait and see, where’s the accountability to follow? It just gets swept under the rug by the RFL.

How does buying the asset convert an unsecured loan to a secured loan? The loan would still exist and it would still not be tied to an asset bulls own.

How many attended? Who was there from broncos? Hetherington, Loubser, Eccles?

As far as I’m aware, Hughes wasn’t simply trading on the futures market. He was an oil trader who worked for a Vitol, a global corporation that negotiated deals with some of the most hostile and unstable countries — Libya, Iran etc.

Your examples are of fans traveling to a destination, rather than interested observers or local RL fans heading to their local ground to watch two out of town teams. And that comes back to Martin’s point about declining profile.

Mascord makes his point, which has some evidence to support. He’s not trying to be intelligent, he’s more a contrarian than anything. The NRL takes games to Mudgee, Dubbo, Tamworth, Coffs Harbour, Perth, Darwin, Cairns, Bundaberg, and these games sell out — albeit the grounds are smaller than the NRL club’s usual home ground. How many SL clubs could manage this at this point in time? Regarding London, and SL more broadly. The last 30 years (and beyond) can be summed up as missed opportunities. I can only point my finger at the personnel working at the governing body, and those in club land.

Now the french season has finished can we expect any more players? Goudemond? Gigot? Escare?

Tom Amone couldn’t crack it even though he was signed by Gus as “the best prop in SL” Just let the lad play and enjoy his time and see where life takes him.

Can someone explain the tequila reference?

Would this realignment help with their IMG score? Unless they up their crowds and finances, I struggle to see how.

What a great opportunity for an institution to change societal norms for the better

An email is a start. Banning people for life should help. Supporting officials to press charges would also help.

I’m an aussie and a bulldogs tragic. I wouldn’t pick King or Brimson if I was the coach.

Didn’t he also return to Australia and captain coach Macksville in group 2?

An extra 2 hours when flying Perth to Johannesburg

With the demise of Salford, and with TO the 13th team in gradings, we’re already there!

It’s not that the embassy shuts down. It’s that any public / official events involving dignitaries won’t happen during caretaker period. Speaking as a seasoned Australian public servant. It makes sense that event will now happen after the election.

If it was to be at the embassy, I’d suggest it wasn’t possible because of the pending election and the government being in caretaker period.
