  1. Being in the European Cup anyway, when it links to World Cup qualification, is devaluing the competition anyway.
  2. And London has historically done well for tests against other nations.
  3. No one said there was an obligation.
  4. England played tiny island nations at Newcastle and the Emirates. They also played rugby behemoth Greece in Sheffield. Attendances? 102,000+.
  5. I had this discussion ahead of the Cup draw as I fancied London away as it would have been my seventh venue watching London Broncos. Their fans must be on ten grounds in London.
  6. You’d expect that these talks haven’t just been this week and have been ongoing for much of this year, so you would assume that The RFL/IMG/whoever would have had dialogue with clubs and stadiums for a while so they could have theoretically committed to a Brentford or Coventry or Hartlepool United if they so wished. They’ll have done it with Huddersfield Town.
  7. I hope not. I hope they play France.
  8. England playing a home game in Carlisle or Wales
  9. You know how many people watched England at Newcastle and London last year and how historically London crowds are high, right?
  10. Serious About Plagarism must have got that Samoa link from elsewhere.
  11. Ah, Oxen, I should have known really.
  12. Have they really used a graphic of a bloke wearing the old shirt? Jesus Christ.
  13. Three crowds totalling over 100,000 at Newcastle, Sheffield and London and we’re staying in the heartlands is a little disappointing. I get the Saints choice, given the connection between Saints and Tonga, Leeds as a city does well attendance wise and will do well hospitality wise though Huddersfield is an odd choice. There’s a little lack of ambition in the choices. Still, the fourth or fifth best nation coming over makes for a nice change than New Zealand every year.
  14. The takeover at Skolars has been agreed by the RFL now, hasn’t it? I don’t think the lack of information is a concern, I think the impromptu, over-excited announcement has probably lead to this rather than there actually being any issues. Maybe the consortium shouldn’t have announced it how they did and some of the initial excitement has waned because of the actual process of ratifying new owners taking its normal length of time.
  15. I know clicks are what they’re after but ripping people off is just plain wrong.
  16. Who’s going to buy them and what exactly are you buying? Some balls and bibs kept in a container at a rugby union club is about all you’re getting and you’d be buying a tainted brand, where relationships have been broken well beyond repair.
  17. Salford think they’re an A grade?!
  18. Tyler Dupree to Hull FC. That’s one way to end the career trajectory he was on.
  19. It doesn’t sound good but they always seem to find a way to keep above water.
  20. That break clause could be an absolute masterstroke by AFC Wimbledon, they can demand vaster sums of rent from then than the Broncos.
  21. I get why you’d want to start a rugby league team. I imagine it’s a labour of love and one that eats away at nearly every second of your leisure time but I imagine the satisfaction from seeing multiple age groups playing is probably worth the work that it entails. What I don’t get is what Dean Buchan does in setting up teams and competitions that almost certainly will never materialise.
  22. Name me one sport where lower league clubs get exactly the same as the teams in the top tier. I’ll give a hint, none do.
  23. There’s a tap in for someone else in that post.
  24. What a party that would be, you and old Gary.
