John Drake Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The new issue of Rugby League World magazine is out this Friday (26th July) and our international coverage focuses on Africa in a 10-page special feature, with reports from Cameroon, Ghana and Morocco plus the story of a Sudanese refugee who made it big down under. Two big names on the cover this month, St Helens’ Welsh wing sensation Regan Grace, who talks to us about his career to date and his future ambitions in the game, plus departing Saints legend Sean Long who reflects on his life in Rugby League and explains his decision to switch codes. Also inside, we talk to Ged Stokes, whose decision to come to England from New Zealand to coach Workington Town changed the life of his son Ben, who is now enjoying Cricket World Cup glory as a result. London Broncos head coach Danny Ward answers your questions in our latest Quickfire Q & A and we hand out a few mid-season awards to the players and coaches who have caught our eye so far in 2019. In the Championship, we take a look at the rise in quality and profile of the competition over the past few years and discover how and why it has taken place and what’s next for Rugby League’s second tier. Plus, we have an exclusive report on the Toronto Wolfpack experience as our editor Matthew Shaw takes a trip across the Atlantic to Canada. Former England league and union coach Phil Larder talks to us about his on/off return to Keighley Cougars and we look at the Rugby League talent being produced in Rochdale in our Combined XIII. Warrington Wolves women’s star Dani Bound reveals the dedication which sees her make regular 500 mile round trips from her home in Portsmouth to play the game, and we talk to French trailblazer Audrey Zitter. We also have a report on the new Montpellier Sharks club in France and we pay tribute to the passing of Treiziste legend Elie Brousse. All this and loads more in another packed issue, on sale Friday 26th July. Order a copy (or a subscription) from the TotalRL.com Shop now, we'll deliver it anywhere in the UK or worldwide. .

Damien Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 These are the kinds of articles I like to see in Rugby League World, the progress of the game in new and developing countries that you don't really know much about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a previous project I engaged 15 of them from Nigeria and I dare say 2 or 3 were that strong and fit they’d do well in the game. Wether good enough for the pro game, difficult to tell but many are very keen to quit the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on having worked there the pull would be tremendous as it would for the audience once their capabilities became known. I think one of the problems has been Offiah being regarded as a freak of nature rather than one potential among many. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the cost would be to set a pathway up with a pro club in the UK. If there’s brass at the end of it I’m sure they’d have a go.

fcl Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I am very surprised to see such a serious magazine do this article on Montpellier. Julien Lasserre has a very bad reputation especially in Montpellier, a club in which he had brought foreign players without knowing how to pay them. View of France, this project seems very dark, with funding totally unknown and the main question is that of the support of the municipality (in France nothing can be done without them) and especially the question of the stadium in a city where competition is very very strong. It is probably for these reasons that this team will only start in DN1 championship and that the federation also seems not very optimistic. It's a shame that this magazine is only interested in France for such an uncertain project and that the cover of the championship of France Elite 1 which is of a good level is also light. www.fcl13.fr FCL XIII - Lezignan Corbieres Rugby League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
