North of the M62 v South of the M62? That would set pulses racing.

Three tests against Australia would be enough for me, I wouldn’t want to see SL shortened so England could play some tin pot matches that nobody over there or here cared about. Times have changed since that used to happen (eg I saw Sheffield Eagles v Australia around 1994 or 95, it would be crazy to do that now the game is so professional).

Widnes (population circa 60k) probably has a better percentage per population.

Thanks for looking. I saw that too but I think (though not sure) there’s a smaller pitch just outside that they may use.

Hi, does anyone know if Hull KR ladies play their games at Craven Park, or elsewhere? Thanks.

It would be peak rugby league for the England v France warm up to TO v Feb clash not being televised while the latter is.

That is absolutely terrible for Rochdale.

Impressive TV viewing figures for the CC games https://www.totalrl.com/bbc-viewing-figures-for-hull-kr-leigh-and-st-helens-warrington-revealed/

For the uninitiated, is Via Occitanie a FTA channel?

It would be good if the buzz around the club comes back, a strong Wire is good for the game.

Or half full, depending how you look at it.

Saints crowd looks (and sounds) decent, not far off 10k.

Yet they still only get about 1,000 in.

Where were you when you were s**t

I tend to think Hull could and possibly should be as big as Leeds, Saints and Wigan - yet they get it wrong again and again.

I like to see some games from the old Lancs and Yorks cups, and the Regal Trophy etc.

Thanks Harry. I use that website myself, but my point was how well was the game advertised, so neutrals might know it was on and give it a watch.

Must admit I didn’t know the BBC had shown Saints v Catalans, not sure how well they advertised it.

Just looked it up, quite hard to find the info but it was a bank holiday in Italy so kicked off mid afternoon.

If Oldham Athletic somehow won the FA cup and got into Europe would you want them to win?

I know this is nothing to do with RL, but seeing as you’ve mentioned it. The second leg in Milan was a really early kick off for some reason so you could well have watched it at school, I had to bunk off to watch it as I can remember running across the field and climbing over a wall to avoid getting spotted. We should have got a draw in the home leg until Rob Newman needlessly brought Sosa down in the box when he was going away from the goal and Bergkamp scored a penalty with about 10 minutes to go. In the away leg we had a few injuries but still had quite a few chances and could have drawn the tie if luck had gone our way, but then Bergkamp scores with a few minutes to go. All back in the days before money ruined the English top flight.

100% yes, rugby league is too small to have teams floundering.

In rugby league I’d always support the English team in the WCC, in football I’d rarely support an English team in Europe.

I assumed Smith.

You don’t go to the Keepmoat with the knowledge that you have a 50% chance of getting away alive though, like you did at Alt Park.
