OriginalMrC Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Doubt we'll ever see this league get off the ground. Was going to tough even pre covid. Everything has gone completely quiet and the Rugby League Europe propaganda machine (podcast) seems to be no more. I do hope we see some sort of officially sanctioned, properly funded Europe wide development competition at some point though. It would need to include teams only in developing countries and not teams in England 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby&soccerfan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 On paper this looked a good idea just the wrong timing with Covid happening and all. Its a shame if all these clubs want to continue that the RFL cannot step in somehow and see over a sustainable time how these clubs can continue to develop and expand the game. Good to see the Dutch League still going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffins hosted the first event.Took some heavy beatings and decided to pull out of the competition with a view of re grouping next season. 9s is a different game to full 13 and some teams are not suited to the shorter version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langpark Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Just 3 months to go! Who else is excited? Does anyone know the exact dates of these matches? I would like to book flights and get some accommodation and match tickets sorted. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrewxi Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 So as the first draft is supposed to be happening now in Brisbane, can we officially pronounce this dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been gone since the first postponement really. There was plenty of interest in it however from across Europe so clearly there exists a strong appetite for international RL. Hopefully that can now be harnessed to support the official Eurpoean 9s competition this summer. Edited December 11, 2021 by Whippet13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see it resurrected at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ERLF 9s is the way forward, at least for 2022 whilst Leagues get properly up and runing again. It is a very sensible idea and if the stars align (I can get time off work) I hope to attend. Lots of growth to come in Europe over the next few years if we get it right, the seeds are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
