Let's see if Prince Harry shows up to a single game this year. The CC Final at Wembley, located near his homes, for starters.

As for Andrew Burnham, I would like someone to explain what his precise responsibilities are (though my preference would be the fewer the better).






Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!

Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!

The only benefit I can see really is it gives a little bit of exposure to the game. For example somebody who follows Labour and Burnham very closely or a Royalist following Harry, might think what is this Rugby League they are tweeting about or attending and give a game a watch. Exposing more people to RL can only be a good thing.

If Prince Harry did ever attend a game, plenty of “newspapers” would be happy to take his picture and put it in there rag.

I still see people going about how crap it is in comparison to "years" ago, like how Britain was so good "years" ago.

The sport is great, I have loved even the past few years, the world cup was a bit of a saviour this year but certainly these past 2 years have been great.

Getting these big names involved is superb, and I think it will only help the sport kick on.

Hi Wildthing.

Merry Christmas and all the best for a happy, healthy New Year.

Forgive this sheltered Leyther, but what's a WUM? If it's bad, I hope I'm not being classed as one? My posts here were to merely defend Andy Burnham, who is a passionate RL person who would, I'm sure, seek every opportunity to promote the Sport. I guess some have seen him as one of a much hated breed - a Labour politician, and even worse, a Leigh fan! :wink:

I'm sure that, given a decent 'job spec', he will do the Greatest Game proud.

Let’s be honest, he’s never set the world alight in his political career so doubt he will do much here either
