This is a real coup for rugby league securing Katherine a mere 10-15 years after her fame peaked.

Usually it’s acts that peaked 30 years ago.

Maybe this is why there are no seats left for sale in Club Wembley, massive surge of tickets sold on back of Katherine Jenkins? Well, it's either that or the the RFL is dicking around with ticket availability to force fans into specific areas?

To be fair, she peaked around the same as Bradford and their 2 years of success did. Difference is, people know who she is whilst 99.99999% of the uk have never heard of Bradford bulls lmao

99.999999% of the UK have never heard of any Rugby league team it's a niche sport. Which is why they can't attract big acts to the cup final.

The only reason people have heard of crappy wigan is because of George formby.
