    Waves v PNG 1991

    That was great to watch. Look at the crowd! How have we let welsh rugby league fall away so much?

    European Championship 2018

    One thing that is a positive is that the best two countries got through in terms of domestic development! I would love to see a three test series played every few years between France and Wales. I think both countries can use each other to grow.

    European Championship 2018

    1200 or so at Wrexham. 8 years ago the French games drew 14522, 6721 and 10413, this year they were lucky to be 2000. This tournament has the potential to be great, but it needs to be built up far more than it currently is.

    2018 RLIF AGM in Leeds

    Agree that Australia only playing twice two years in a row is pathetic. I’m hoping that this Oceania Cup is successful and the nz v Tonga mid season test is huge which will eventually lead into another mid season Rep weekend (replicated in both hemispheres). This would allow for more tests per...

    2018 RLIF AGM in Leeds

    Minimum two guaranteed games for all pacific nations, which has never happened before except in World Cup years. And this will be a regular occurrence every second year. Yes, There are a number of ways that it could work better but it is finally starting to happen and Beattie can take some...

    2018 RLIF AGM in Leeds

    But Nigel wood couldn’t implement it and get it over the line. And it’s hardly half arsed, it will be a major success. He has made a bigger impact at the rlif in a much shorter time than Nigel woods who we barely hear boo from.

    Ireland vs Wales

    Hopefully wales in front of a decent home crowd. There are a lot of born and bred Welshman playing who deserve it!

    2018 RLIF AGM in Leeds

    On the contrary, he has been extremely positive about the entire rlif meeting and 8 year schedule. You seem to have a dislike for him but he is getting some things done that many other before him have either failed or not cared about. Whether you like it or not, the rlif need the nrl.

    The Stupid belief Origin is the Pinnacle of League

    If the tests and origin were on stand alone weekends (which they all will be in a few years) we wouldn’t have this problem.

    2018 RLIF AGM in Leeds

    There is no space for a mid season test anymore for Australia which means it looks like they’ll only be playing two tests again next year against Tonga and New Zealand. Yes, it’s something but it all looks like a cop out to me and big much different from the last time they announced a schedule...

    Golden Boot 2019

    Elliot whitehead should have won under the new criteria. He has been the best player in international rugby league this year and in the World Cup final last year!

    The Stupid belief Origin is the Pinnacle of League

    Qld beat nsw 11 out of 12 years, over that same period NZ won a World Cup and two four nations. There are many players who would walk into the origin teams over the last few years who can’t play (burgess, Graham, Taumalolo, Johnson, RTS, Widdop, Foran, luke etc)! And literally millions have...

    Lions great claims Kangaroos are no longer No.1 in the Test arena

    It really isn’t though. It doesn’t even involve the best players. It is still the most hyped up games of the year and arguably the most physical but the sport is bigger than two states of Australia.

    Lions great claims Kangaroos are no longer No.1 in the Test arena

    Crowds rose this year, they aren’t down.

    2018 RLIF AGM in Leeds

    I think Beattie is a breath of fresh air. He is at least open to discussing the future of the game with fans and realises we have sat still for too long. So he stuffed a few team names up when he first started because he didn’t know where the “shire” was in nsw, who cares. Yes, the Aussie...

    ENG v NZ @ ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Sunday 4 Nov - Monday 01h30 (AEDT) 03h30 (NZDT)

    Just watched the replay. Great game, England were definitely the better team and probably would have won anyway but that last England try was clearly a knock on.

    Jamaica squad for rlwc qualifiers

    Interesting that Jamaica have gone for a largely heritage based squad for the qualifiers. They must be a massive chance of making it with these players! JAMAICA 21-MAN SQUAD Joel Farrell, Keenen Tomlinson, (Batley Bulldogs), Jonathan Magrin, Ross Peltier (Bradford Bulls) Daniel Thomas...

    European Championship 2018

    Anybody know the crowd figures? The Ireland Scotland game looked empty and the French game looked quite small as well.

    Golden Boot 2019

    There will be names added to the shortlist after (or during) the nz v England series.

    One Year Ago: The 2017 World Cup

    Highlight for me was being in Brisbane for the final. Not so much the game or the crowd but meeting people from different parts of the world who love rugby league, giving me hope (and confirmation) that rugby league is an international game and it’s not all about the nrl, something I’ve always...
