Exclusive: A bitter code war between rugby union and rugby league in Norway has gone to a new level, with the governing body in the country threatening to expel rugby league clubs from the federation unless they convert to the 15-man code.

@Brianjo58679326 It’s on the coaches as much as anyone to stamp it out. Drinkwater won’t be dropped or fined for it by Simple Sammy, despite having a platform to influence players.
English
@sportingchemist It’s not about individuals. I couldnt care less who does it or what team they play for .It’s embarrassing for the game . All coaches saying they don’t coach it should say they coach their players NOT to do it but the rules need changing so they have to go off, with replacement
English
I wonder what the coke head, convict, wife beaters thoughts were on Josh Drinkwater? Simple Sammy strikes again.

🐺 In an extraordinary post-match press conference, Warrington boss Sam Burgess has delivered a passionate plea to end the 'comical' gamesmanship plaguing the game at the moment, making his own suggestion as to how that should happen. #Echobox=1725730308" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">loverugbyleague.com/post/warringto…

Given Harry Robertson and the Saints medical team had a 15 minute half time break to assess how his knee was, why was he in the changing rooms for the whole of half time and not having a “fitness test” onfield to assess the situation instead of sat down for 15 minutes?

@Halewkwoo @MattyDean97 Carney’s made a living as a pundit playing devils advocate. It’s ridiculous and needs to stop because more often than not, he’s talking rubbish.
English
@MattyDean97 He gets some grief but he’s spot on. No idea what Carney is trying to do there tho.

@philkinsella They play very different rules, games are officiated completely differently and what is foul play is different to us. It’s very much two different sports.
English
Having watched almost all of the 192 NRL games in 2024 I’d say it’s very comparable , the rules are not entirely different and in my opinion their approach to issuing cards is more sensible
Sporting Chemist@sportingchemist
@philkinsella It’s not comparable at all. They play entirely different rules to us, so it’s apples v oranges.
English
@loverugbyleague It’s a poor rip off of an England football shirt.
English
@loverugbyleague What are your thoughts on the new kit? 🤔
English
🏴👕 England might just have released the best kit ever, and the good news is it's here to stay for longer than most in recent memory!

English
It’s the only equivalent comparison and having seen all 3 reds issued you don’t have to do that
Sporting Chemist@sportingchemist
@philkinsella You have to maim someone to get a red in the NRL, it’s not really comparable.
English
Look at that for a photoshop job on the lad sat down and that random white squiggle 😂
England Rugby League@England_RL
😍 The new #EnglandRL kit for 2024 and 2025 is available now... 💻 Head to @oxensportsuk to get yours!

I want to avoid red cards we’ve had way 21 reds so far that’s way too many . The NRL has had 3 -I’d say their approach is preferable with on report & sin bin used more widely.
A 3 game ban could be right for a red card but only grade E or above
Matt@mattwill1982
@philkinsella But phil, if someone gets a 3 match ban they should have been sent off. I don’t want to avoid red cards, I want the refs to make he correct decisions.
English
White with Red V’s. I bet there is a dog in Orrell getting walked within the inch of its life today.
England Rugby League@England_RL
🤩 Your 2024 and 2025 #EnglandRL kit has arrived... 🤝 @OxenSportsUK
English
I’m not having that. Where was Dead, Dead Quick Jai, the best fullback in the world or the fastest man that’s ever lived, Bevan?
English
@johnnyddavidson You could have twenty-five yellows a game if that is a yellow. That’s what’s frustrating, refs apply a law once, at random, during a game and never again.
English
That is pretty harsh. It was hardly Nathan Hindmarsh-esque
Sky Sports Rugby League@SkySportsRL
Field is away but Gildart manages to catch him and then Burgess is adjudged to have flopped into the tackle and referee Jack Smith shows a Yellow card. Hull KR are down to 12 for the next 10 minutes #SkySportsRL
English
Has anyone ever done a study into Wigan fans? They’ve got the most ginger fanbase in the sport. There’s got to be something in that.
English
@johnnyddavidson Aside from Josh Rourke is there any players actually born in Lancashire? It’s a failed concept from the past, the game is stuck in the past and repeats the same mistakes again and again. I await club call in 2026, middle 8’s in 2027 and the margin meter in 2028.
English
Sam Burgess believes Super League needs to get creative to grow and get bigger as a competition, and is advocating a return of the War of the Roses concept and an end to loop fixtures.

@loverugbyleague Genuinely, who thought “yeah, that’s great, that” and wrote that and who then thought “yeah, that’s great, that” and signed it off? It’s utter nonsense.

We need to have a conversation about London Broncos and IMG.
They knew the rules when they voted for them. But to be told they were a 'sleeping giant' and central to IMG's plans, only to then be ranked 24th: you can see why they're confused. #Echobox=1725280631" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">loverugbyleague.com/post/we-need-t…

This is genuinely one of the worst and poorly thought out articles of all time and for Bower, that is saying something. A complete misunderstanding of the point of grading and just utter nonsense. Amazing he’s paid to talk about this sport.

Rugby League fans moaning for moaning’s sake, part 67,240.
As honking as the ageing, decrypted stuck in the past club chairmen are, the fans of this sport are just as bad.

Unpopular opinion: I hate Golden Point for regular league fixtures. If teams are level after 80 minutes, that’s dramatic enough and should be a league point apiece. Leave Golden Point for knockout games.
