John Drake Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 In this month’s Rugby League World, we look at the recruitment going on in Super League and the Championship as clubs vie for the best players to strengthen their squads whilst also keeping a close eye on their salary caps. Our mole has the lowdown on the biggest deals due to be sealed by all 12 Super League and all 14 Championship clubs. Grab your copy this Friday to see who’s coming and going. Also inside, Leeds Rhinos hooker Brad Dwyer answers your questions in our latest Q & A and puts to bed those persistent rumours about his parentage! Former Wakefield, Wigan, Bradford and Harlequins legend Henry Paul looks back on his Rugby League career and tells us he’d be keen to return in a coaching capacity if the right offer came up. Luke Gale defends Wayne Bennett’s international selection policy and is looking to get back on the field himself before the end of the season. We put together our latest Combined XIII which this month covers the mighty Merseyside area that fuels St Helens’ success. Former Saints hero Jon Wilkin chalks up 500 games and tells us about the different challenges of playing in the Championship with promotion favourites Toronto Wolfpack. Dane Chisholm lifts the lid on his sudden switch from Bradford Bulls to Featherstone Rovers and in League 1, we chat to London Skolars coach Jermaine Coleman about the club’s rise up the league ladder this season and look back at the first 20 years of Coventry Bears. As always, we have a packed international section with stories from Norway, Scotland, France, Australia and Wales, plus our unrivalled focus on the women’s game with an in-depth chat to Featherstone’s Andrea Dobson about her decision to call time on her England career. All this and loads more in the July issue, on sale Friday 28th June - find your nearest stockist here.

John Drake Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 "I'd drop it all for the right job in Rugby League. I love Rugby League, as much as I do rugby union, and I've got ambitions to coach in both."

John Drake Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Norway's RL team might look like a United Nations XIII to the untrained eye, but these heritage players have made their homes in their adopted country. @a_hope14 has the full story in the new issue of Rugby League World magazine, out now. https://t.co/ZgV6OeVw2h @RLEFofficial pic.twitter.com/s8TG6VwQ12 — Rugby League World (@rlworld) June 28, 2019 .

John Drake Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 The Rugby League World Sevens was a short-lived venture but it is fondly remembered by one of the players who turned out for the USA and earned a degree of enduring fame in the process.

Number 16 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I bought my copy on Friday, and at first glance it didn't do much for me. I picked up again this morning, and actually, it's not a bad issue. The main feature, the recruitment guide, was a good read. Other plusses were the articles on Coventry, Skolars, Henry Paul and all the international stuff. Negatives are another rubbish cover, the dull and unfunny Random League, the Combined XIII, mascot moments, team of the month x 3, samey player interviews, out of focus photos and odd cartoony fonts. All in all it was £4.50 well spent. What I'd like to see... our sport has a rich history, and a history pre-SL, and RLW pretty much ignores it. A few pages a month on great games and great players wouldn't go amiss. Big opportunity coming up with the Lions tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I think other sports magazines could learn from is a When Saturday Comes idea of publishing either a league table or set of results from a specific date or season and then talking about what was interesting about them, which players and clubs had an impact, and where are some of the key personnel now. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
