The Future is League

I think if he does sign for Hull FC it will squash the rumours that Smith is on the way out at Leeds, but if he doesn't sign for Hull FC them rumours will continue to circulate.

Very sad and so young.

Winners. Warriors. Dragons. Storm. Sea Eagles. Broncos. Panthers. Dolphins. Raiders. Points. 330. Away wins. 3 Poll. Dragons v Roosters.

They can but try. Better to have tried and failed than never tried at all.

A huge home game for Cas next Friday against the London Broncos which I think they will win, but if they don't heads will certainly roll.

He's a very intelligent person, and in my opinion would make a very good CEO.

Winners. Roosters. Dragons. Dolphins. Tigers. Sea Eagles. Broncos. Bulldogs. Sharks. Total Points. 340. Home Wins. 5 Poll. Eels v Dolphins.

Perhaps they should have gone 17.30 for the England game and 20.30 for the Toulouse v Fev game.

But as you know Toulouse are playing the last of the 3 games against Fev.

No players from the NRL and perhaps Wane will use the game to blood some young players.

Another problem for the Anglo-Irish game https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-legend-carl-ditterich-charged-with-child-sexual-abuse/news-story/cd9ec1c940ef36a4621ca590157193da

I don't think there is anybody out there with the money and the interest to help them apart from David Hughes. I do note that Ebbsfleet Fc have middle east owners, so perhaps David Hughes could ask them to come onboard, and also a note that Damian Irvine is the CEO there, a man who's been involved in Rugby League here and in Australia in the past.

When you can't make the play offs and there is no relegation that is the time to blood young players as you prepare for the next season.

If only like that was come along

AFL has had racism problems from it's beginnings and why would people of colour play a game with obvious racism problems play the game, and the penny is beginning to drop with them, but AFL problems don't end there they have a huge drug problems, which they are trying to cover up https://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2024/mar/27/afl-drug-scandal-andrew-wilkie-reveals-alleged-secret-drug-tests-on-players-video

Absolutely terrible for someone so young.

Wayne Bennett could be an option for Leeds as he's contract runs out at the Dolphins at the end of the Season.

Winners. Knights. Storm. Broncos. Warriors. Eels. Sharks. Tigers. Raiders. Points. 325. Away wins. 1 Biggest win margin. Raiders v Titans.

Wins for. Storm, Bulldogs, Knights, Warriors, Panthers, Dolphins, Cowboys, Raiders. Total Points scored. 305 Home wins. 6 Poll. Sea Eagles v Panthers.

Past his best before date for both NRL and SL and probably the NSW cup would be his best bet.

We haven't even begun to scratch the surface when it come's to getting more Muslims playing our game, and other minorities. I have seen Ikram Butt at many Rugby League functions, but on the surface he doesn't seem to being doing much when it come's to getting more Muslims playing our game, but correct me if I'm wrong. South London have a large Afro-Caribbean community, which would include a lot of young athletic people, who in my opinion would make good Rugby League players.

I always thought that Singapore would be a good place to have the WCC and chase the corporate dollar and also it has quite a few ex-pats from Australia and the UK working there along with Kiwis.

Toronto is in Canada and Canada is part of North America which is the biggest sports market in the word. Here is a list of professional and semi professional sports teams in Toronto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_teams_in_Toronto

Lets hope so. British Rugby League had a huge chance to get a foothold to the most lucrative sports market in the world, but for reasons already discussed on here many times it didn't happen.
