@Duke2517 @DinosaurLeague Maybe aussies could come and play us now and again then.

@DinosaurLeague Here in Aust we were always astounded at GB/ENG crowds and atmosphere. Big occasions at Wembley etc left us in awe.. Now Tests are being played in small stadiums with small crowds… RFL need to go back to making Tests a huge event.

@TheBardAI @rugbyleagueontv Me too. Frustrating,a

Red Button isn't available on Sky Go. Which is farcicle.

@England_RL How can I buy tickets for today? Not on sale on the Web site.

👋 See you tomorrow in Huddersfield #EnglandRL fans!

@RogerHa72916008 @JulianClary Yep at Hargreaves

@JulianClary Cast in Halifax I believe

To Crosby Beach to see 100 Antony Gormleys.

@KeithBa070757 Like what exactly?

Shame IMG aren't transparent

Today in 1979: Leeds beat Halifax at Headingley to win the Yorkshire Cup. #RugbyLeague

@HalifaxPanthers Again, well done for the transparency.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT ON IMG INDICATIVE GRADING 🔵⚪️🐾 Following on from the Clubs Statement regarding the IMG 2023 Grading scores and for further transparency, the Board have provided a breakdown of illustrative grading pillars halifaxpanthers.co.uk/panthers-news/… #BWO

@littlerich007 @faxlad66 @andrewfoster101 I get the sense we were told to do that as a backup plan given a couple of clubs were imploding. It was 5k+.

@faxlad66 @andrewfoster101 Remember that Batley home match a few year back - last match of the season and we announced some daft figure in order to get a better license grade? OK, its not indicative of fortnightly variances but cash turnstiles leaves scope for fudging. Every decimal point matters 😉

OK actually,if you read the Criteria grading handbook there are lots of things in there that make sense ........rugby-league.com/uploads/docs/R… But, as Featherstone alluded to in their statement, an independent assessor should check club's "official" attendances - porky's being told.

Today in 1983: A Halifax and District XIII take on the New Zealand Maori. #RugbyLeague

@ABFixby Hmm suspect it's where it says PVS. I think the photo of the church is a side view. Great photo none the less!

This started life as a black and white photo I took back in the 60s. That's Coley Church brooding in the background, slightly aloof then – as now – from everything that goes on around it. The carts were an added bonus. The image got messed with last night but didn't seem to mind.

I get some people are falling out of love with the game, just do what makes you happy people! 💙 #UTR

@iancheveau Leigh won the lotto with Beaumont, Huddersfield with Davy. Only realistic way to make a leap.

@iancheveau Applies to most championship clubs, including mine.

Brief summary on grading and Widnes. Nothing. Carry on as usual, see you next year. You’re not up, not down and will find it tough next season x5 unless investment comes in. The end.

@HalifaxPanthers The right response. IMG can be an enabler and an opportunity, as hard as its going to be. Onwards!

PANTHERS RESPOND TO IMG INDICATIVE 2023 GRADING 🔵⚪️🐾 halifaxpanthers.co.uk/panthers-news/… #BWO #RugbyLeague

@Greggers83 @HH0762 @PC99013286 @Cougarmania But the rfl have a hell of a lot to answer for. They've screwed up the last 20 years and have outsourced governance because they didn't have the kahunas or credibility to do it themselves. Game should be much bigger now than it is.

@Greggers83 @HH0762 @PC99013286 @Cougarmania My best days out in last 15 years with fax had no dangle of promotion. Nrc, cc semi, championship final. Unfortunately is in a position, as a minority sport, decisions cant be solely based on the field. Under no illusion that there won't be casualties.

Statement - IMG Grading READ > buff.ly/493uMQn

@HH0762 @Greggers83 @PC99013286 @Cougarmania Super league is a false lure for many clubs. Efforts should be focused on making the championship a great competition in its own right, without that carrot.

@Greggers83 @HXRLFCarchive @PC99013286 @Cougarmania I know why didn't they just remove them. Almost in hope re-form and slot the new club back in. If so that's dangerous groudsetting. Issue I have on here is so many opinions from people who don't even attend games. Odd behaviour. Life goes on. Hope doing well pal.

@OfficialHavenRl He'll look good in blue and white in 2025

Whitehaven Rugby League are delighted to announce the signing of Australian half back Lachlan Hanneghan to link up with Jonty Gorley’s side for the 2024 Championship campaign after playing for Wyong Roos. Hear what Lachy had to say ➡️youtu.be/UaSyE8GQ8aE #WeareHaven

@MarkWilsonRadio @NoHelmetsReq There are clear consequences now. I sense Wakefield have played the smart long game by trading on field for off field temporarily. This could rejuvenate the club.

@NoHelmetsReq Bang right Gav. Clubs are finally being held to account. The lack of standards across the game has been a worry to some but has allowed others to talk the talk and not walk the walk.

Absolutely. Although a cynic may say if RFL/SL had actually stood firm on their minimum criteria over the previous two decades those clubs we are talking about would have been ousted from SL until they got their houses in order! Instead everyone was allowed to stay at the party.
