Moses harshly done by, he’s the best half in the comp IMO.

Probably another casualty in the near future going to R360. I wonder how many have jump ship or on the verge of jumping

Women’s sport still gets a mere fraction of coverage compared to male sports. This post comes off as pathetic whining tbh.

It’s been Wall to wall media about the women’s union team wc win here in uk. My in laws had it on and I endured 20mins of it, biggest pile of dog turd ever seen on a sports pitch. The coverage, crowd and adoration it has received is exponentially greater than the actual quality of the event. RL has a massive uphill battle in this country due to the southern biased class based media. This is a perfect example of it.

Once you fkers start being competitive then we might get more then 40k

Did you go to the very competitive RLWC final? No Probably not like most Australian RL fans who couldn’t be arsed!

The success of women’s sport is down to off the pitch as much as what the women do onfield. The media agencies and PR companies they work with are superb at pushing the sports and the players. There will be more people in England able to name any number of England female footballers than there will a Jack Welsby, Mikey Lewis or Sam Tomkins.

Our inability to invest in the media and a growth strategy is strangling us.

Nothing to do with the old school ruggers influence in the media then? Yeh. Nah.
weve got img, one of the biggest media and sports production companies in the world!

No. Nothing to do with that when it comes to the England women’s football team.

We do have IMG but we’ve listened to everything they’ve said and almost always done the opposite of what they researched and suggested and we’ve decided to listen to a man who dresses in leopard print and writes bizarre statements based on his own fantasy land experiences.

I’m talking about ruggers womens wc.

Id suggest we have if you look at this seasons increases in tv audience and social media engagement wouldn’t you?

part of problem I’ve seen this month being back is they have a clear strategy of raising the pprofile of star players, problem is rl fans are so tall poppy that social media is full of negativity to any player they are trying to put up there as our stars. I don’t remember this level of vile vitriol being spoused at our stars of the past like hanley and offiah. Maybe it’s just the world we live in today Or maybe rl is infested with fans like yourself who can’t see the positives in the game?

As for women’s sports, they market so well and have created big audiences for them while we go as ambitious as 19k stadiums in Headingley.

The choice of Headingley wasn't a bad one, at the time the largest crowd for a Women's Test in either code of Rugby in the UK was only around 15K, so neither sport was ready for a massive 60K+ venue for any standalone fixtures.

Playing the 'launch match' at 2:30pm on a Tuesday was a terrible choice, both from a ratings, but also a crowd perspective, and then having a lack of serious events/fixtures since the tournament meant we haven't had a chance to build anything.

Since the RLWC, the England Women's team has played 6 matches over 3 years. 3 against Wales, 2 against France and 1 against Australia. Hardly inspiration stuff. In that same window, the England RU Women's team has played 27 matches (before the most recent Rugby Union World Cup), with a number of them part of 5 tournaments.

As a code we do the bare minimum and then wonder why we're not as successful as other sports which do more.

Still an Australia V's PNG game
Prime minister 13
Before final tour squad picked
I believe
And the NRL Grand final
So things will change for sure

And so it should, it’s total garbage.

it gets far too much coverage as it is.

If women’s sport is as bad as some make out, it’s as poor to watch as some say and the quality is as bad as rumoured, it really highlights how poor the governance of rugby league is that we’re behind them.

We aren’t. We are only behind two.
Soccer which is just such a behemoth that people follow the brand as much as the game.
And rugby union which has the southern based old school tie media doing its work for them.
we are the Betamax in the vhs war. The better product but fighting an ever steeper uphill battle.

Does women’s sport getting any attention at all really hurt your fragile feelings this much? Y’all are f**king losers.

It’s being rammed down our throats because of woke policies.

F##k me roan.

It just shows that RL isn’t being used as a vehicle to push or isn’t part of the woke agenda.

Like I thought another brain dead fragile dickhead.

I bet you cry when you see women talking about men’s sport too.
