ATLANTISMAN Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 If we get the internationals back on track the game is in a really great place the world is changing sponsorship wise as well the days of betting (Got bless Betfred though brilliant sponsor:) booze and pies are coming to end now its all tech apps etc and the marketing directors of the new age companies have no pre conceptions Internationals are the way forward to attract new sponsors 100% Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippet13 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Other positives are: The decision to shelve the madness of the 2x10 for 2 years (which probably means it's dead). The expected "realignment" of SL and the RFL. League 1 is going go be a terrific comp next year, going to be one hell of a fight to see who goes up.

ghost crayfish Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Lots of things to look forward to. In particular, I'm excited about what the next few years for French rugby league might look like. A few positives all aligning in the game over there right now, creating real opportunity for not just France, but also England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM2010 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Lots of positives in the game to Look forward to next year. I'd like to see the big events made into big events by attracting big crowds and getting lots of media coverage and promotion. These events can be used to drive everything else. CC semi finals double header CC final Magic Weekend GF England vs France RLWC. I'd also include Catalans vs Toulouse as a big event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delay in 2x10 has been reported elsewhere as well: https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/rugby-league-structure-broadcast-deal-22067519 I suspect one or two Championship clubs might be regretting splashing the cash on players for next season now...

Phil W Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 As a Thunder fan excited to see what we can do this season, The Championship is going to be quality this season. Obviously the World Cup could be huge for rugby league in this country, a successful World Cup that the nation gets behind is the hope. Toulouse in Super League, hopefully they make a good go of it and surprise a couple of teams along the way. The Challenge Cup Final at the Tottenham Stadium is going to be different but a new venue and hopefully some new supporters. Don't know how the fixtures would pan out but Skolars or Broncos playing a home game on that Friday night as a curtain raiser would be decent. But given the 1895 Cup that might not happen. There's a lot to be excited about really in what is a massive season for rugby league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzer98 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Would be good if the positivity could be spread around the world or at least in EU mainland but only a few matches on UK TV week in week out and no legal streaming service available in EU… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot to be excited about really in what is a massive season for rugby league. You'd want it to be Skolars. They are the local club. Saracens also play a game at Tottenham so time to show folks what the superior code is. Watching union lads take 3 mins to take a penalty is not on. Skolars really need a better name though. Using different colours as well to the Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
