Leeds Rhinos v Warrington Wolves attracted an average audience of 531,000 with nearly 750,000 watching the closing moments of the game. This represents an audience share of 7% and is a fantastic start for Super League on terrestrial television.

When Super League actually was Super.
Here’s the “Volcano” breaking the deadlock with a bullocking run down the old main stand at Headingley in his final ever Super League game.

This is something you don't see every day. Bradford Bulls head coach John Kear is singlehandedly packing and pulling the clubs equipment on to the team bus here at Craven Park - whilst letting his young side enjoy Domino's Pizza on the bus. John really is a credit to this club.

Not ashamed that to say that I broke down in tears at the end of today's game. I lost my dad to cancer on the morning of the Batley home game in 2017 and I've never really had time to stop and contemplate about how he moulded me as a person and gave me the Rugby League bug. 1/2

Over 45,000 tickets have now been sold ahead of Sunday’s historic NRL Las Vegas double-header to open the 2024 Rugby League season at Allegiant Stadium. NRL officials are secretly hopeful that the attendance could surpass 50,000 breaking all kinds of records.

Me and

Luke Yates has hit back at the RFL Match Review Panel after their inconsistency in the Harry Smith case.
What is frustrating to see is the most dangerous tackle of the weekend and one that could end with a life-changing injury to a player was the one that didn’t receive a ban.

Wow, I'm hearing that New Zealand will play Tonga at Eden Park next year on Saturday, 22nd June. Eden Park has a maximum capacity of 60,000 with temporary seating added. The demand to be at this fixture will be unbelievable. This is one way to grow the profile of

Ralph Rimmer on Sky Sports just now: “The RFL has a duty to and wants to grow the game.”

Peter V'landys hinting that the NRL is ready to take the UK market more seriously by bringing NRL games to England is most welcome news. Imagine an NRL-style magic weekend at Wembley or Tottenham. You'd sell out both days in record time similar the NFL games. Goosebumps.

Here’s Lesley Vainikolo’s final try for the

How good was Stuart Fielden? Every time he got on the ball it took two or three to stop him and what about those bone-crunching hit ups? It was easy to forget that this was his first game back in

I've spoken to two Super League chairmen today after the emotional events of Sunday and a huge takeaway is the way Leeds and Bradford handled the occasion. Both were unanimous that John Kear and his players deserved every inch of positive news for their conduct and generosity.

Warrington and Wigan register their lowest home crowds of the season for their most important games. I think it's time Super League woke up and realised that this is a game-wide problem and not an individual club problem. Having so many empty seats on television is embarrassing.

I'm still trying to understand the reasons behind Fouad Yaha being denied a penalty try. Without a doubt, Yaha scores the try without the act of foul play. That injustice against Catalans Dragons is up there with the phantom knock-on call against Michael Withers. Terrible call.
