For players?

Thanks. Though that is absurd if when they qualify that quota doesn’t exist.

The vast majority will be flying to France from England won’t they?

Seems unlikely, though he is far too good for Wire.

Maybe they’ve registered it for their women’s team.

Which audience is he trying to attract? I’d have thought anyone they can possibly get.

Not at all.

My first thought was it’s terrible, but having given it a few minutes it’s certainly different and distinctive, better than a generic Lions, Tigers or whatever.

That’s still not too bad tbf.

Yes

How about Yorkshire v Lancashire before the Wembley test with Alex Simmons doing a DJ set inbetween the two games - that would pack it out.

Probably England women against someone, but not Australia, Wales or France as too one sided. I can’t see any point having another men’s international played in England.

Have the RFL announced that? I haven’t seen anything. Edit - sorry I forgot the championship was reducing in size.

The season would be over by July if they played every week.

It’s reasonably for groups considering investing not to want it made public, as much as we all want to know who it is.

I appreciate you probably can’t say everything that you know Martin, but are you saying that there are actually foreign groups in talks to invest in SL clubs?

That Sun article is just absolute rubbish, nobody in their right mind thinks there’s going to be meaningful foreign investment into super league.

All of those are as good as if not bigger than I’d have predicted, except probably Sheffield.

That sounds great then

Not being familiar with French TV stations, does anyone know anything about France 3, ie is it a pay channel, FTA etc. Also moving from Paris (100s of miles from where the game is played) to Toulouse sounds like a great idea.

Blimey that does look fairly empty. Maybe they count season ticket holders who don’t go.

Good that Widnes’ crowds are holding up, albeit around the two and a half thousand level.

Final score 46-30, match played in brutal heat, kudos to all the players.

Anglian Vipers v Elmbridge Eagles - hot day and tough conditions for the players but a very healthy crowd of 150+ at Wymomdham.

I appreciate it’s probably the photo but that looks ok to me.
