2025 Ashes Tour

[Perth Red]

Organisers probably realise it’s going to be a dead rubber lol

Assuming it’s actually a decider then it’s a colossal stuff up

Really like the choice of Wembley and Everton though

If they can get 50k plus for Wembley and 40k for Everton that’s huge for English rugby. League

Maybe the Roos should throw the series just for the good of the game

Id have preferred Tottenham, everyone says its a far superior stadium and capacity wise (62k) is probably closer to what the game will get.
Wembley at 90k is a big ask to make it look good.

Everton looks great though, hopefully I can get to that one.

Im sure if by some miracle Kangaroos lose it will be one of your excuses lol

Yeh maybe better capacity v Wembley

And I haven’t cheered for the kangaroos in 30 years

But since supporting you guys is just embarrassing I stick with nz or tonga and samoa

 

[Last Week]

England aren't winning a single game. They haven't had a competitive series infront of a crowd since the World Cup, and they choked that.

Aus 3 nill.

Also, fun fact, England/GB haven't beaten Australia in a single game since 2006. 19 years... Christ they've only beaten us 4 times since the Super League War.

Yep same, the 1994 tour was the last time for me too.

Same again, I rarely go for the Aussies, wasn`t hard when Cameron Smith was in the team
I dream for the day when they beat us over there and we beat them over here with the occasional upset to make it really interesting, same with the Kiwis`.

None, the best players will be in the England squad and the rest will be on a well deserved break.

Read somewhere France tests too

Mal says he’s keen in at least one Test because France is important to the game (his words - pity there’s not more like him)

not Sure when they’ll play France, I believe they are playing WC qualifiers?

im not sure that belting France 80 - 0 is going to help the game grow.

perhaps at the end of the tour and mal can give all the players that played limited minutes against England a game. at least with a weakened Aussie team the score will only be 60-4

 

[axe&smash&crush]

Wakefield - only one probable player in English squad / reward for moving in right direction

Hull FC - No tests in Hull, unlikely to have players in Test team
