Midlands hobo Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Birmingham jaguars (never heard of them) appear to have some Social media but stopped filling it in 2 years ago.

MatthewWoody Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_XIII Ambitious but I think Covid won.

MatthewWoody Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Very optimistic. But I think it showed some kind of ambition.

Hello Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) The football world cup has just started in front of a global audience of billions. I take my hat off to those within RL who dare to think about introducing the game to new audiences. Unfortunately, many, but of course not all, of the fans of the sport love to ridicule anyone who dares to have such ideas, though of course they will deny it. it does the sport zero favours whatsoever.

Though presumably the national interest created by it would have been wiped out when the SL clubs voted them out in favour of Hunslet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the sport zero favours is the time and effort of good people being wasted by the charlatans and chancers who put forward stupid and unworkable ideas like Euro XIII time and again. Idea that even if they weren't stupid and unworkable - and Euro XIII was both on an epic scale - would not advance the sport of rugby league one inch further forward in any meaningful sense. 3 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
