Yes they were always faded but from memory I thought they were faded in blue suggesting the £30 price band.
i don’t have a huge issue with the £20 tickets as such, although do think it undersells the product somewhat, but think their approach to doing it is once again very poor.
Yes they were coloured blue so either someone got it wrong or they've changed their strategy.

They've indicated the sales for Wembley are about 30k so far which is really good this far out. That would tie in with availability in the seating plan with lots gone but plenty still left in the lower bowl.

To be fair these are new, worse tickets, not the existing ones discounted.
Whilst that's true they are on the centre line and I'd say the ones nearer the front are arguably better than some of the poorer £30 tickets.

With a new cheaper price category as well. £20 in top half of top tier. Interesting to create a new pricing tier that wasn’t previously advertised.
And I'm guessing wasn't planned given it's not on the pricing category.
This series was supposed to be different and yet here we go again, the people who were first in didn't get the option of the cheapest prices.

Not for me. A drawn series is perfectly fine.
A drawn series is a win for Australia.

He's a Hull lad and former rovers player so he's hardly going to call against Rovers?
I've looked up the rule and see no reference to a defending player not being allowed to ground the ball the same way as an attacking player. It seems like, just as in the play off semi final last year, wires have been very badly treated again.
I've no recollection of the play off semi but as a general point the laws of the game alone don't tell you about the interpretations that referees and coaches have agreed on. I'm assuming it's in those interpretations that what Wilkin refers to comes from. So don't open up the Persecution Complex just yet.

Weilkin just gave a very informed sounding explanation for the torso ruling that defending players can't ground like that. I guess he's just been told that rather than knowing it.

Was Lewis's performance today that good, picking up the discussion on the BBC now? He got the decisive goal kick sure enough but apart from that he was hardly dominant.

Glad we got to see the short kick off, not like that could have been a game defining moment.
Some of the presentation and shot selection from the BBC today has been poor.

Burgess obviously swung his arm there, why are they saying he had no option and it was all entirely innocent?

God this commentary team is abysmal.

It's time to mention Lee Oudenryn isn't it.

Why he's still accredited by the RFL is a mystery!
Who is The Tryline? They seem to be a bit of an a-hole.

Ryan Hall isn't as fast as Offiah, that's not particularly contentious.
I do wonder how Offiah would turn out if he played Super League now, the game is very different and Hall is much more suited to the modern winger's role. Maybe Offiah's talents would overcome the changed game regardless. Conversely I don't imagine Hall would have been a winger in the pre-SL era; he might start out there but I imagine he'd end up in the second row over time.

Holbrook's personal circumstances meant he wasn't interested in coming back to Europe when the Leeds job was available. I wonder if that's changed.

It will be interesting to see if Wane's approach works outside his Wigan bubble. There's limited evidence from his England coaching career which has not exactly been stellar.
So I'm doubtful but interested to see.

No it wasn’t a try and he knew it.
Hall hadn't got a clue what was going on, it was too fast for him to perceive if the Australian player had pushed it out or if he'd got to it first or if it had been grounded.
A player's reaction is zero evidence for whether a try has been scored or not.

If you want to understand Gary Hetherington's managing philosophy , I refer you to this podcast about his time at Leeds which outlines IMO the right to go about building a Rugby League club
Lot Pod Meets Gary Hetherington
Not listened to that but the approach needed at Sheffield starting from scratch was obviously very different to what was needed at Leeds and London will be different again. But Hetherington will know that all too well.

I kind of agree with that assessment. I think the title of this thread should be signings from different periods of club history .I.E pre war Wigan Jim Sullivan , 50s Billy Boston ?
I'm also interpreting this as signings from other clubs. Otherwise for Leeds you could say that day Doug Laughton popped round to Mr and Mrs Sinfield's house in Oldham in the early '90s is the winner.

there is a view that a Meninga/Burgess coaching partnership would bring more instant credibility to Perth, as Bennett did with the Dolhpins.
Credibility is different to coaching ability. Bennett brings both, with Meninga/Burgess there the evidence that they could build a club and are top level club coaches is rather thin.

Older Leeds fans say Lewis Jones so I'd say him from the first 60 years of the sport's history and Jamie Peacock from the second 60.

Giveen what Gary Hetherington has done at Sheffield Eagles and Leeds I think there is every chance he could be that Silver bullet given time.
Hetherington is the most successful Rugby League administrator of the past 50 years and here he is written off as a "well meaning owner" and whatever crackpottery JohnM is on about. If there's anyone who can make a success of London on a relative shoestring then Hetherington can.

The Leeds press release provides a list of all time British try-scorers as well.
Indeed it does -
https://www.therhinos.co.uk/article/21880/record-breaker-hall-confirms-he-will-go-again-in-2026
Hopefully he won't get injured before calling it quits. If so he should overtake Newlove and Neil Fox which would put him 17th on the all time list.
Ike Southward and Barney Hudson are within reach if the increased try scoring rate he's seen since returning to Leeds is maintained which would push him up to 15th.

More and more people are looking at what’s happening to their cities and towns as well as the social infrastructure and aren’t happy about it and don’t support the political establishment and media pushing it on them.
Anything but take responsibility for the consequences of things they voted for huh.

They are right there on the ticket map, back half of the upper tier facing the TV camera. Not hard to find.
