Wheelchair game looked like a great event at the First Direct arena yesterday, hopefully the RFL capitalise on this and we have more games in the near future.



Seperately, if as rumoured Samoa are touring next year, get the fixtures published and tickets on sale now to avoid a repeat of this year's poorly attended Tonga srries. There's only one event you can book for 2024 currently via the rfl and that's the challenge cup final... definitely an area the sport needs to improve on

Yeah , loved the wheelchair game , Played in front of 2500 fans as well .

Bad day for English rugby league

1. Samoa turned down the RFLs offer to tour in 2024 preferring to play in the Pacific cup instead

2. Salford issued a warning about not having an agreement in place for their ground

3. Cornwall not taking part in the 1895 cup at the request of other clubs due to how far away it is!



Really does feel like rugby league is in a complete mess in this country at the moment

Aye , Gutted we're not getting a tour from Samoa this year nor the Aussies or the Kiwis till 2027 .Looks like the NRL is holding all the cards now with the International game and England scratching around for crumbs .

There's a mid season game against France in Perpignan but other than that , Its looking very depressing for Northern Hemisphere IRL.

It's a tough life but someone's gotta do it.

Are you out of work again. It’s a tough life being a contractor

I've had the same epithany as many after covid and lockdown.

'Working for the rat-race, you know your wasting your time.'

Very Hall-esque.

Gonna buy myself a brand new remote control this season and save myself a fortune on trains and hotels.

Unlike the NRL where every game has a different time slot, so all games every round are viewable, I see a lot of the SL games have the same time slot and clash.

Not to worry, should still be able to weigh in with a handy dozen or so live games to view every week.

Salad days.

You could always do catch up on fire stick, think they’re available up to 3 days. Happy days, just binge out on Rugby League of both persuasions all week.



You know we contractors are very Mr. Macauberish, “I do believe something very shortly will turn up”
