Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Rogues Gallery"Agree, we need to make life as uncomfortable as possible for Isaac Luke, and as good a player as James Roby is he doesn't have that "aggression" of McIlorum. />
I would have started with McIlorum for the first twenty with the specific instruction to "get at Luke" and then brought Roby on.'" />
I'm surprised at you Rogues. This isn't Life on Mars, it's 2013. Roby would come on after 20 minutes, at the latest, to replace McIlorum but we would be down to 12 men and MM on his way for a shower. If it was that easy to get at Luke then every team would do it. MM might be harder than your average hooker, but you rarely get a one to one situation to prove who is the best fighter, and his lack of discipline would be manna from heaven to NZ. Luke is very similar to MM but far more skilful & much more controlled these days.

| What did you all think of the final?. I thought Australia were in a different class and I would add that either Sonny Bill has lost a lot of ability or he has been overhyped in the past. It has been a tremendous tournament though and to get a record crowd for a match in which there were two foreign teams shows that there is a public demand for our game. The challenge for the RL Management is to build on this success and surely we can now find worthwhile sponsors for all our competitions.

Overall I really enjoyed it, shame the final was a blowout but you can't blame Australia for that.

That must be as close as you can get to a perfect performance, hopefully the RFL can get their act together and build on the success of the tournament, if we go into next season without a title sponsor there really isn't much hope.

Until Hetherington & Lenagan work out who's got the biggest, no sponsor will look sideways at the SL. The power-struggle & whatever format we'll be using needs to be sorted PDQ or the ridicule will (rightly) begin all over again & we'll be back to square one.

Regardless of how well received & played the WC was (well, mainly).

| We also need to get the Broncos situation sorted asap - there needs to be a successful London side in Super League at all costs...

Might be proved wrong (you never know, miracles happen!)
Quote ="George Riley"RFL boss Nigel Wood tells @bbc5live to expect "some good news in the next couple of days" about title sponsor for Super League #rugbyleague'"
Let's just hope it's not another Stobart's fiasco.
