lot of exciting young talent coming from the south sea island teams as well as Australia and new Zealand.our game in contrast going even further backwards.no real youth leagues.no reserve teams now.nearly all the players with flair in the super league are overseas players,especially the halfs.idiots in charge of the game over here haven't a clue.

When the criteria for getting involved with the RFL is largely, “are you related to/shacking up with, a Hetherington”, which old school tie no you have and, is that a new blazer, it’s as expected. The game is on its knees, adapt or die, we can only hope the Canada/US influence rubs off!

Don't think there was any fitness issues tbh...30 plus degrees with 80odd % humidity and they got run all over 1st 20..cant have had 20 play of the balls. Reason I think fitness ok was due to his carries late on. Still USAs most effective carrier and was often playing the ball stood up after not being put down. USA were so dominated as a whole you couldn't really judge him properly on any other parts of his game

The RFL aren't the ones who scrapped the juniors and reserve leagues, in fact they are actively trying to encourage clubs to bring them back with mostly no luck.

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

Mini's Italians well beaten by the Irish Wolfhounds. First one the bookies have got wrong. Scotlands Bravehearts up next against our Sika and ten million man Taumalolo.
Randy Andy Last out on the pitch in Cairns giving the Scots some advice.
Sika goes over for a t-r-y and Aussie commentator mentions he's a two times Challenge Cup winner with some club called Hull FC.

Pretty sure last season’s under 23’s had no backing from the RFL. It was all down to a handful of Super League and a couple of lower league teams that actually set it up and ran it. The likes of Wigan and Leeds refused to take part. Don’t see why the RFL should mourn its loss, when they chose not to invest in its conception.

Indeed, the RFL should make it mandatory for being a SL side.
