That's me done with catalans hull kr. Jaw dropping levels of VR buffoonery by Kendal and whoever feeds him the footage. I feel like I've re-watched most of the first half during that last review.

Losing Magic Weekend doesn't make any sense.  What's the reasoning behind that (if confirmed)?

Can't  post the link, but check out Alloutrugbyleague.co.uk.

Just read it. 

Not enough weeks in the season next term so MW has to go, 8 team play offs mooted so extra week needed, 9's comp mentioned (given all of the issues in the game, this was seriously debated?) , 1895 CF not at Wembley to cut costs, despite already hired for CC and crowd already being there etc.


Simply embarrassing. What an utter, utter clown show. 

The talk of Rugby League ever coming from a “position of strength” is for the birds. Too many people from within and from  outside Rugby League have tried remodelling the game and its support base, and have left it in a sickly position. Our biggest sponsor Sky, chooses to consign big games like Wigan v Hull to Red Button Land behind…..wait for it…..FISHING ! It was B.M.X the other week that relegated a decent game of Rugby League to no man’s land. We’ve waited 130 years for someone within our sport to be awarded the ultimate honour, and hot on the heels of Billy Boston there are calls from M.P’s to award the same honour to an entire squad of women footballers ? That kinda shows you where the sport currently sits from a position of strength. Ignored largely by the national media, and unfortunately more and more by local media, it really is time for us to get back in our box and be more realistic about where we stand and what we can achieve as a sport. 

Because it would create a loop fixture with a 14 team league.

This whole thing is tin pot and a farce.


14 teams is a great shout, but not this soon, and picking the top 12 from IMG system then handpicking the other 2 teams is as I say tin pot.


The Coup bringing Wood back, Hetherington going to London,  the overseas quota increasing, the teams increasing with no plan whatsoever and nobody coming out and outlining why it's been done now.


It all stinks to high heaven, we will not progress as a sport when its in the hands of self serving clubs.
