A few years ago I’d probably say no to an eight team NRL Europe.   However, RL is dying a slow death, managed decline, and it needs something radical to grow.   I’ll take a strong 8-team comp with the smaller clubs in a reformed lower Suoer League. London, Cats, Warrington, Wigan, Leeds, Saints and the two Hull clubs all in the NRL-E.

NRL branding to keep it sounding ‘national’ and use all their expertise to run it.   Grow slowly from there with the addition of another French club when able.


If it doesn’t work we haven’t lost anything really.   How much longer can we even stay known outside of the M62 corridor.   An ageing fan base, and some prehistoric facilities.   Did anyone see the Cas Cats game?   It was like watching a VHS of a 1980s Micron video rental.


Im all in.

Reading that it does not exactly it’s happening and I can’t find any info on Sky website that says it’s actually happening.

Cas beat by Salford today, hope we don’t show complacency next week.

Our much loved second row on loan (Russell) did a lovely little flick pass for one of the tries.

Russell did some good defending for Salford yesterday ,had a try assist & Chris Hill did the full 80 with some tackle busts & offloading out of the tackle. He could still give some of our forwards a run for their money.
