Some Evertonian mates of mine who have done the Test events (reduced capacity) would refute the "public transport venue" angle. The current best way to get there is to walk to and from Lime Street (approx 40mins) unless waiting hours is a highlight of the day for you. Hopefully they'll be some way down the road with this by November because the ground is exceptional and will be a terrific venue but the public transport infrastructure is currently in need of an upgrade if it is to scale the heights of woeful.

Got 4 in the East Stand seats at Headingley for me, my old man, my eldest and my mate. No glitches or difficulty in buying. All we need now is for it to be a decider...not too much to ask is it? Honestly so excited for this.

Been a terrific game to watch this.

It was a really good enjoyable game with good reason to hope next week's might be even better. We definitely don't get enough international RL so I'm going to enjoy when we do get something decent. Oh and Farnworth's pass to get Radley over...

Well up for this now. Heading up with one of my mates and taking my old man too. Really hoping we see a close, competitive game and a dramatic small margin England win.

The comparison with the PL and their greater diversity of winners doesn't really work as that is a straight league with no play offs to follow. The better comparison there is between the PL and the League Leaders' Shield which does bring in Huddersfield, Castleford, Warrington and Catalans in that time period. I don't think 2024 was the best Super League season ever but I don't think it was the worst either.

Total agreement. Well deserved

Well, that wasn't quite the toss of a coin, tight encounter I had envisaged...

Went to the Alex to cheer him off this morning. There was a decent crowd there considering it had snowed overnight and was freezing. He really is an inspiration and he is right, we should all be a bit kinder to one another. I'm a 42 year old bloke with kids and when Kev nodded in my direction as I shouted "Go on Kev" on his way past I was the starstruck kid watching one of my heroes again. How he can combine coming across superhuman and totally normal at the same time is one of his amazing qualities. I hope this raises millions.

Mine arrived by email today as well. If it gets to Thursday I'd say give them a bell but 4/5 days beforehand is pretty normal from my experience.
