Watched four of the opening games totally different ruck standards across each of the games. Leigh v Leeds a total mess to many petty referee involvements some needed the majority not. Crowds are up but they'll want entertainment not this.

It is with great sadness that in the early hours of this morning Steven passed away, he died peacefully in his sleep following his short battle against Cancer 😋.
I would like to thank you all for your support in helping Steven promote French Rugby League.

Its not nice is it simon when you still feel you got shafted ?
Just think free wine and food best seats in the house , never mind though move on think of the memories.
Or you could buy a
ticket ?
Tell us all about the deal with PVL & The IRL sounds interesting
Simon Johnson@sjrbsimon
Well, I would have been there. But despite being Chair for 6 years and despite that these games would not be happening at all if not for the deal I did with PVL & the IRL, I have not been invited. Still, at least in a few weeks, this will be the view from my window at home.

The Warrington Wolves CEO, Karl Fitzpatrick, has reached out and offered a quote in response to this (he’s not on X).
“Come on Simon, show some class - you’re better than that.
Also, everyone knows Simon Moran brokered this deal and personally underwrote the series.”

@MarkWilsonRadio Darryl powell right
@iansmith2468 is paid by the @rfl to review referees hes not phil benthams spokesperson even if he thinks he should be , which is funnier by the way 🤣
English
As Daryl Powell said after (and he was quick to say it made no impact on the result at all) “get yourself on the end of one of those and see if you think it’s low level force.”
Ian Smith@Iansmith2468
@MarkWilsonRadio @Saints1890 @WTrinityRL Didn’t go off for a HIA, if it was high level force he would have gone off for one.

@TrylineUK Very brave aimon lets get all the cards on the table
English
The former and recently outed RFL Chairman appears to be suggesting Bradford may be "catapulted" into Super League following Nigel Wood's return to the RFL.
Quite the serious suggestion.
Simon Johnson@sjrbsimon
@jdgsport The next two under grading would be Toulouse and York. But of course, Nigel Wood becomes Chair and lo and behold, Bradford are catapulted in to the reckoning
English
@derek_beaumont Very brave by simon lets get all the cards on the table for the fans
English
Also Simon probably a bit embarrassing to be factually incorrect about something so important when you was chair at the time🙈 let’s not let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory though.. also Bradford added to their score with facilities since that time which you also know

The former chair of the RFL, ladies and gentlemen. Good story, this.

Murmurs of Super League going to 14 teams, with London and Bradford likely coming in, would be ironic given 10 years ago London and Bradford were relegated to reduce it back to 12!
If you didn't laugh, you'd cry.

This is interesting thoughprobably not a surprise .Interesting times for the executive @TheRFL who are firmly commited to @IMG for the long term
Matthew Shaw@M_Shaw1
It appears the tables are turning on IMG. Warrington Wolves CEO Karl Fitzpatrick has been a vocal supporter of rugby league's strategic consultants, but he has now offered a damning verdict on their work. examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Well done @leedsrhinos and @SkySportsRL for the fantastic tribute to Rob Burrow and his Family. Thought the @LeighLeopardsRL contributed greatly to the occasion
RIP Rob

@loverugbyleague It was a rubbish concept waste of time no rivalry and laughable prize money
English
As State of Origin prepares to get underway later - we've decided to ask the question everyone in England has (probably) asked for years:
Yorkshire v Lancashire: who'd win a Super League Origin? And will it ever come back? #Echobox=1717572564" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">loverugbyleague.com/post/yorkshire…

Ashley klein very good origin 1,
