E.ON gets behind England Rugby League for the Ashes

Just a nice small sponsor for the tournament to pick up. I mean what they only had over €100bn in revenue last year...

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

not really, I just mute the sound or switch over to another channel.

Without giving an exact number a Facebook post its claimed that ticket sales have well surpassed 45k.

seeing and hearing more evidence of promotion of the Wembley test in and around the London region too.

Hopefully this happens and gives us a quality big stadium in Yorkshire.

Looking at the seating map, you can definitely see some movement at Wembley.

Level 1 looks to be around 80-85% sold, whilst Level 2 would be around 70-75%.

Encouragingly they're opening up more bays in the top tier with 504 & 549 both being put on sale in the past 24hrs. Centre bays 501 & 552 are now sold out whilst there is some decent movement in the bays next door.

Hopefully the RFL has scheduled some advertising around the remaining Finals matches to help drive awareness.

I thought it had already been given the green light?

A kangaroo player could get a suspension. From the grand final game. Might interfere with kangaroo's selection. Interesting.
Will international games be included in suspensions. We have had this debate before

To answer your question YES

After last night, most of us will agree who’ll be first on the plane?

Kangaroos squad for Ashes Tour

The Australian Rugby League Commission has today confirmed the 24-player squad to represent the Kangaroos for the 2025 Ashes Tour.

www.nrl.com

24 man squad named that will very likely sweep the Ashes 3-0. Getting 2008 RLWC England in Melbourne memories.

 

[MRN]

So from the 23 man squad leaked, Bradman Best has dropped out, Shibasaki comes in and Mitch Moses is added for 24. Tallis did say on 360 that the leaked squad was legit but not final and a player from the GF could be added. Shiba gets the shot. Moses added I guess for balance and/or coverage. Good move . His name missing from the leaked squad was noticeable.

Am I reading this wrong or are Staggs and Shibasaki the only centres picked in the entire squad?!

As a Leeds United fan of 30 years I'd say this will depend on us surviving the drop from the Premier League.

Surprised Burton wasn't picked.

Decent backup for the halves and centres.

Lolmax is there too.

 

[mozza91]

Imagine they’ll put Strange at centre if need be. Shiba should be dropped if he doesn’t grow the van dyke back.

 

[MRN]

Just saw an interesting stat. With the last game between these two nations being 8 years ago, not 1 player in the Kangaroos squad has ever played against England. Not even Munster.

 

[blue bags]

Very strong kangaroo squad

With Robert Toia unavailable, you wouldn't want any of the rubbish that NSW put up in a losing Origin campaign, Must be more Qld middle forwards that should be in. We did crush them in the forwards
