I'd rather watch a pitch dry...

Jake Connor deciding who scores the tries, then he kicks the goal. Easy night at the office.

Does the game not have Super League branding? The pitch markings on this video suggest Leeds and Salford are in the NRL.

Atmosphere of a reserve game too

Keep seeing phrases along the lines of "come down and support us" regarding the Wembley test, appreciate it can be interpreted differently but it comes across to me as please come down from the North to London, instead of the broad message we need to get anyone to come to the game, especially those who aren't currently regular attendees of Rugby League.

Listening to the coach's presser this week, definitely an implication that someone was at fault for the injury.

Yes, but can Jake be described as "Consistently beautiful", that's what this team needs.

Uh Oh. Good luck with the next few pages!

Seems a better idea to do it once every four years with 32 teams instead of every year with 7 teams, didn't watch many games but I can see it being more popular in a more local time zone. Plenty else to work on for the next one too. EDIT: Turns out Trump won the tournament as he has a winners medal: and he has the trophy https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-kept-gold-club-world-cup-trophy-for-himself-so-fifa-had-to-give-the-winners-a-replica/

Glad England got the win, but they need to learn the lesson about giving away your wicket, Jadeja showed the way to play Test cricket today, make them take it!

A link would be useful if that is your suggestion. The more recent information from last year: https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/super-league-expansion-plans-revealed-as-14-team-competition-for-2026-discussed The spokesman who came out and spoke about what happens if there are more than 12 A grade clubs stated that the expansion would be down to how much money there was and come down to a club vote, as would any change to the structure/IMG criteria. It was an if not a when situation.

Coach for England's best world cup performance, part of the coaching team when the Kiwis were world champions, I'd rather not remember 2004...

Well, the IMG plan was to guarantee A grade clubs a Sl place unless there were more than 12. If there were more than 12 they would decide what to do at the time. Expansion was an option, but not a recommendation.

This is the route to the future we lost, tiny acorns planted across the country and steady increases in kids playing the game, with local hubs to give them something to aspire to, the big clubs seem to be hoovering up as much money as they can at the expense of any sort of sustainable future.
