Wow!

Did you all hire a taxi to get to the game?

Surely it would have been better held in Goole with a crowd like that.

Maybe P&R would liven things up at the bottom of the NRL and boost attendances.

Yes agreed, SATB just nudges it for me, though I still love both, a relic of more innocent and fun times.

Someone has to have the lowest crowds.

Dundee Derby tomorrow, one of the UK’s most passionate yet unsung rivalries, there’s very little trouble as well which is refreshing.

Which is the better film, Cannonball Run or Smokey and the Bandit?

Fairly average for the Dragons that, further evidence of mergers not working.

Just under 10k at Wigan is more than respectable, as is the Wakey crowd.

A rugby league league in London, running at the same time as the Union leagues?

Tbf, while I agree with your sentiment, RL outside the heartlands is exactly something that RU players play in their off season. Without them there would be hardly any clubs, maybe just a couple in London comprised of Antipodean expats.

It’s not at Anfield or Elland Road, you should be ok.

Or tulip bulbs, it would be like the 1637 all over again.

Yes I know but surely there is at least one point for those things, if there’s a website and people able to view the games there is some transparency and dialogue.

How can a team get zero for fan engagement. Don’t those four clubs have a website or admit spectators into matches?

Just think what could be done in East Anglia and London with some joined up thinking and will from the RFL, it wouldn’t even need much money, just some interest and help from the powers that be on the M62.

Bradford got the full share iirc

I did mean spend it in a country other than your own, but yeah why not, in English rugby league terms the south is a different planet.

Serbia or Greece for me I think, build on what they already have there, support the open age teams and get kids playing the game. Taking a French Elite 2 or National side into Elite 1 would also be an attractive idea, with an increase in their youth numbers and support for other clubs in that area.

For the record I haven’t got £10m to invest in rugby league so this isn’t me looking for ideas about what to do with it!

If you had £10m to invest in growing rugby league in a particular country, which country would it be and what would you do?

Admittedly I don’t know anything about the sporting culture of West Yorkshire, but do you think the club would survive that? I mean Dewsbury already has a team so you’d be unlikely to attract new fans from there, and a team playing half an hour away is unlikely to inspire people in Huddersfield? It’s a proper conundrum.

Surely not.

Wherever you may wander, there’s no taste like Stones.
