Cornwall as a whole (which the club stands for) has a population of over 560,000.

Purely for avoidance of doubt: not true.

I think the Hurricanes looked full of confidence from the minute they walked out, got their punches in first, and we just didn't settle until the second half (when it became a much more even contest). Cornwall will be ok - we had a few notables crocked and sidelined even before the season started - so every aspect will strengthen. Midlands looked really good, though. I think they'll do very, very well this season. Re: running track. I get your point and broadly agree. However, if we did a tick list of positives and negatives, the former would be very long and the latter very short. It's a first class stadium, make no mistake, and from the mid-height concourse the view was excellent.

Went yesterday and had a look around the main Alexander Stadium while there - my daughter does athletics so we had to, really! I truly hope the Hurricanes can pull plenty of fans to help fill it in 2024 because it's a cracking place! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there are moves to host internationals and 'Summer Bash' type events there in the future. It would certainly be viable (easy to access off the M6 and M5).

You have to love Adam Hills
ChristianB replied to The Future is League's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I was fortunate enough to stay in the same hotel as Adam and the rest of the Australian PDRL guys last year. He and all his team mates were an absolutely cracking bunch of blokes. -
Is there anyone answering Cornwall RLFC emails?

Fab. I'll let him know. -

Hi Gog. Try sending it to gdavies@cornwallrlfc.co.uk if you haven't done so already. -
Edinburgh v Saddleworth this Saturday and, just announced, Cornwall v Rochdale Mayfield on the 25th. Both BBC Red Button. What's not to like! https://www.rugby-league.com/article/61389/from-edinburgh-to-cornwall-–-bbc-sport-challenge-cup-coverage-takes-the-long-road

Bit of feedback on the Cornwall v Skolars warm-up. https://cornwallrlfc.co.uk/news/abbott-reflects-on-london-skolars-friendly/

A mix of both, and there are a few more to be announced in the near future. I think our spine will be very strong this year, but I'm most looking forward to seeing a few of the local lads progress - guys like Brad Howe who came to us halfway through last season and has a lot of prop potential. As for live streaming, I have no idea at the moment I'm afraid.

If other L1 teams and their supporters think that Cornwall RLFC in 2023 will be at the same level as last year, they are in for a surprise. Lots of familiar faces which bodes well for cohesion and continuity, but also some new guys who are training really well as I understand it. If we can keep the injury count low we'll be causing lots of trouble as the season goes on.

Panthers taking it serious
ChristianB replied to graveyard johnny's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
One game? Convince him to get a season ticket - he'll hear a few familiar accents and feel right at home! -
Looks good to me! https://cornwallrlfc.co.uk/news/new-2023-home-kit-revealed/

Super League Predictions 2023

I believe so. Same one who did quite well at Warrington. -
Super League Predictions 2023
ChristianB replied to Jughead's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I certainly think Hull will go well this season with TS at the helm. Like Warrington, I don't expect them to be at full bore from the get go, but both teams should be vying for silverware at the end of the season. -
Really pleased for everyone involved with the Hurricanes. The future is bright, for sure. That said, Cornwall RLFC are going to spoil the party on the 19th of February. After all, you beat us at our first home match so it's only fair!

RLWC Merchandise delays
ChristianB replied to Paul Davidson's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Just had mine delivered! Have to say that I'm impressed with the design detail on the hoodies, especially the inside of the hoods on the Cook Islands and Jamaica ones. Credit where credit's due! -

Last year. To be updated prior to new season. -
League one squad numbers
ChristianB replied to Rene_Artois's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Cornwall squad coming together nicely with more to be announced over the next few weeks, I suspect. Will list in due course. -
RLWC Merchandise delays
ChristianB replied to Paul Davidson's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
By sheer coincidence, I've just sent an email regarding some hoodies bought at the beginning of the month. Then I saw this. Oh well, they arrive when they arrive. Little chance of them before the 25th. -
*duplicate post, sorry!*

One of the most marketable young players in the game 'let go'. I do wonder, sometimes. I really do.
