    England 30-Man ETS (Elite Training Squad)

    England team should be: 1. Tomkins/Hardaker/Lomax - all three as good as each other! 2. Lineham - massive bloke and very impressive in a poor Hull side (Briscoe is having a mare!) 3. Watkins 4. Reed 5. Hall 6. Widdop 7. Brough 8. G Burgess 9. Roby 10. Graham 11. Hock 12. Westwood 13. S Burgess...

    IMO English Rugby League's Ruck

    I've got that. Stop boozing, eat less red meat and more chicken/fish and you'll be fine! :cool:

    Grand Final Qualifier - Wigan Warriors 12-13 Leeds Rhinos

    I've heard a lot of people saying the tickets are too expensive rather the playoff apathy. Yep, some people don't like the current structure of the playoffs i.e. 8 teams rather than 5/6, but not about the games themselves. I really think English RL fans don't like dipping their hands in their...

    Grand Final Qualifier - Wigan Warriors 12-13 Leeds Rhinos

    It's a catch 22 situation sadly; people complain the game doesn't bring in enough money so by cutting ticket prices, you reduce the revenue streams despite having probably more people in the ground. Tickets are currently £25-ish and £15 respectively (well last night anyway).

    Grand Final Qualifier - Wigan Warriors 12-13 Leeds Rhinos

    It's the ticket pricing. English RL fans have got used to paying for cheap season tickets i.e. £200 max for 13 home games; some clubs are even cheaper. They simple won't pay £25 for a play off match... It's ridiclous but the reason. There have been some great matches in this play off series so...

    Dragons Vs Rhino's

    Really enjoyed the game too. There is much debate and 'whinging' about the play offs in the UK at the moment but so far, only Wigan vs Catalans and Hull vs Huddersfield have been poor games i.e. blowout scores. Warrington vs Saints, Leeds vs Wakefield (which I went to), Catalans vs Leeds and...

    Matt King comments on SL

    I disagree with that. I think 12 teams should be the maximum figure including 2 x French sides. I'd also have a really strict criteria-based P&R system (the French clubs are exempt).

    Wales squad for triangular series

    Are the NRL clubs releasing the England players? If not, that might be the reason.

    Championship Expansion

    Really? The Skolars could reach the C1 playoffs for the first time this weekend with predominantly a side made of Londoners. The Broncos had more London Academy players that Warrington the other week too...

    Agreed. He was very good against Saints last week.

    Super League begins search for new title sponsor

    SL has just had an increased TV deal and the RFL from other TV sources equating to £135m over the next five years. Nothing in comparison compared to the NRL but growing all the time. You are starting to see signs at two of the clubs you've mentioned there. Wakefield are coming along in leaps...

    Super League begins search for new title sponsor

    The funding was gained through the Stobart deal being inexclusive meaning the RFL could sell other sponsor rights to the likes of Heinz and Engage, something previous sponsorship deals including the Betfair bid wouldn't allow!

    World Cup 2013 Fixture

    Depends on what you want to do? Just watch the matches or see some of the country? If its the first option, probably through the a package; the second, book a flight and then cuff it (with an idea of accommodation locations) - best way to travel when exploring!

    PNG Rugby League can now move forward

    Not so much rival factions but the RFL and BARLA are constantly fighting and working against each other it seems for control of the amateur and junior games. The game in the UK is far too fragmented and that is to the detriment of England's international strength.

    About time its becoming a joke

    Excellent post! For me, there are issues with the structures of the game in England, which need to be addressed before we'll compete against Australia consistently.

    Youth International: Czech Republic v BARLA

    Good to see the Czech's with a youth side! Are they developing junior sides there?

    Cook Islands will make the WC quarter finals

    Don't underestimate the Welsh side. There are some really good young players developing in the Principiality and any Welsh side always plays with passion and heart. They'll be a match for many sides in the World Cup outside of the big three nations. The game against the Cook Islands should be an...

    About time its becoming a joke

    I'd add McIllorum to that list too. Most 'Poms' wouldn't want any player born overseas to play for England. Many also don't want English-born players who have played for another nation to play for England as well.
