    14 Team SL and Merged Championship?

    I’m not sure about 14 teams, especially the way it’s being done. Non League fans I know scoff at the “criteria.” So do I. We have one already: IMG rankings. It’s obvious corruption is going to be called and it’s going to be very hard to shake, especially if Bradford & London end up as 2 of the...

    Challenge Cup 2025

    “Come on you Bulls!” Great performance from the lads today. We may finally be on our way back.

    2025 Ashes Tour

    Aging; very, very poor public transport links. Parking is a nightmare. However, been some cracking games there. Sounds like toss up between there and Hull if rumours are to be believed. I can’t see Newcastle somehow.

    2025 Ashes Tour

    Be really interesting to see stadiums chosen, assuming it all goes ahead. Football fixtures will play a part. My honest opinion is Wembley may be too big a gamble. Emirates, Tottenham Stadium or London Stadium (Olympic Stadium) for down there. Issue with football stadiums often is length of the...

    England v Samoa 2024 series

    Looking forward to this afternoon. Got my ticket. All seats sold a while ago and very few standing left yesterday. Hoping for a tight game and England win.

    2024 Pacific Championships - 18 Oct to 10 Nov

    Talk about one-way traffic. Kiwis weakened for sure. What’s the feeling down there about the SOO rules? Killing the Kiwis?

    Latest IMG proposals for Super League

    Well, the worst kept secret is now officially out. Loads of opinions but I do feel for London & Toulouse and in time my gut feeling is that this will hamper the development of SuperLeague. If they could eventually get to a 14 team league it may be too late for these clubs and the sport will...

    European World Cup Qualifiers 2024

    Both semis pretty one-sided. Wales beat Serbia 48-0 and France best Ukraine 74-8. Final on Saturday.

    2024 Championship, L1 and other comps

    Big blow for the Bulls tonight. Coach, Eamon O’Carrol, resigns. He’s been offered a job on coaching staff with a SuperLeague team. Not announced where yet, but probably a Lancashire club.

    2024 Championship, L1 and other comps

    There is latent support, I’m sure. I would think getting back in SuperLeague they’d hope for 8-10k, with bigger crowds with large away following crowds eg Leeds, Wigan, Saints, etc.

    2024 Championship, L1 and other comps

    They moved out to Dewsbury a few years back, but we’re back this season and will be playing in Bradford, at Odsal Stadium, for the foreseeable thankfully.

    2024 Championship, L1 and other comps

    New ownership few years back. Got some investment from a local firm this year. Done well commercially. No dual registration with a super league club, but have one with Rochdale in division below to give some youngsters game time. Academy still going strong. I know I am biased, but without the...
