@EwanClibensWhrl Or, alternatively, we could start the season later every year, making it shorter and shorter. And, play most of the games in July & August, when people normally holiday, especially if they have school age kids. 🤡

SL being winter rugby doesnt make any sense… WhSL however makes perfect sense! No clashes with big SL fixtures, no 40°+ halls, barely any competition for TV time, it just makes sense🤷‍♂️

How some people would prefer Super League to return to Winter rugby is beyond me. As good as Bevan French is, it wouldn’t be enjoyable sat in the Brick Stadium or stood at Cas away watching him play when it’s minus 5 degrees.

@FreyaLevy @DuddleReece I think he is referring to Leeds player who goes to take a tag. London player grabs his arm and uses his own momentum to spin Leeds player round.

Agree 100% BUT crossroads is already behind us. Those the game was created for being increasingly excluded. An easy fix to halt the slide but the obsession is creating ‘Rugby League’ in wheelchairs! Fundamentally, it’s a lack of understanding of disabled participants.

Proud of the players in tough conditions today WheelchairRL is at a huge crossroads Do we want to be a skilful, freelowing, agile, attractive to watch game. Or this shirt pulling, fending, shoving unattractive path we are going down. Celebrate skill 🤙

Strange to toast it with a ginger beer on the sofa while the beer gardens are heaving 🍻☀️but here we are! 1600 days sober today 🧠🙏 To anyone feeling like you need a big life change but just can’t face up to it - take the leap and then roll with the punches that follow 👊☕️
