When you fill out the form you say how many you want to buy, I suspect they added those numbers up to get 30,000 instead of individual email sign ups, but if I'm wrong, who cares!

Anything less than £30 quid for these fixtures is underselling, if we are worried about those who can't afford that, then unfortunately we are targeting the wrong audience, it's on the beeb for free so it's accessible to all.

Really looking forward to a tournament where NRL players can only play three games each.

Only if you are marketing all tickets to the same people, which is standard Rugby League marketing, but not the best way to do it.

Rugby Union balls are pointier because they are designed to be kicked (out of play) and Rugby league balls are less so because they are designed to be passed and caught. Its a poor effort to have the wrong ball, and if they don;t have any balls then we should have sent them some to use for promotional purposes!

English refs are afraid to look biased towards their own nation, Aussie refs are afraid to not look biased towards their own nation.

Been a part of Rugby League coverage since before I was born. Although I do think our desperation for media coverage means we are more likely to agree to greater access, like the interviews at half time, analysts walking through the warm up etc.

I'd prefer a 5pm kickoff even though it's a long way home afterwards, better atmosphere and better exposure on TV, shame the BBC only give us the pre final score slot.

Nope, always check that first

No email for me, and I was at every Samoa and Tonga game, good old RFL eh?

Other sports may have bigger announcements, but can they do it on a wet Wednesday in Wigan?

Ready?

Coming back to my page 1 post, means that the British sides aren't playing, or aren't playing at the level their ranking suggests, neither of which is particularly useful.

Typical Wigan at the end

Have to say, the ref has been very good today at allowing play on when the ball has gone backwards, too many times other refs give those as knock ons.
