If this fixture included either of the Powerhouse nations of Tonga or Papau New Guinea, it would have sold out. They are the future of Rugby League and who England should be playing as often as possible.

I thought America was the future of Rugby League.

You presumably mean north America. And it is the future of rugby league.

Toronto Wolfpack will be a top Super League side throughout the 2020’s, however it will taken many years for the Canadian national side to be competitive. Tonga are one of the top sides in the World right now and along with Papau New Guinea are the only nation to regularly sell out their games.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

What do you expect when the game is not publicised and it is held in Leigh, which has limited and complex public transport from other parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

If it had been held in Avignon or Perpigan or Toulouse you would have had 10,000 +.



Toulouse get roughly 800 people per game with numerous getting in for a free. I should know, I've been. Have you ? So how the hell would there be 10,000 there on a Wednesday night in October?

Game should have been in France. We gain nothing with the game being held over here.

The Toulouse team's average Championship attendance is over 2,700 not 800. I have been going to Toulouse games from way back when Trent Robinson was captain coach.

The reason why we could get 10,000 in Toulouse for a Test is because French people are more interested in international Tests than in second division competitions. The attendance would have topped 10,000 if the match was held on a weekend.

I have been to French Test matches against New Zealand and Australia in Toulouse (Ernest Wallon) and Paris (Jean Bouin). Have you?

Watching this on Our League. France is making a comeback thanks to Theodore Fages. It is 6-6 in the second half.

Such a shame that RL is not confined to 2nd half eh ?

Wednesday night, what can anyone expect ?

Interestingly when I reserved my ticket online today, the LSV website said that the North Stand was already 94% sold, which I don't believe for a minute, maybe 70% ish !
