2021 Rugby League Thread

Australia and New Zealand have pulled out of the WC - that's kind of wrecked it!

Don't blame them for not trusting they'll be protected from Covid whilst here.

I'd say it puts the competition in jeopardy as Australia are the team neutrals want to see in the flesh.

At least we'll make the final now.

No point in having it without the Aussies and New Zealand.
Rugby League doesn't really have a proper International game anyway but without the two best sides, it's a complete waste of time

You mean an English team might win a world cup?

It's coming home I tell you but, only because the Aussies aren't coming home.

Hmm I’ve got tickets to the final but seems a bit pointless

Is the final at the swamp?

Reports are now that the players want to come - blows a hole in the player welfare angle.

I know I know. Although I refuse to buy any food or drink from there !

Of course the Aussies do, it's a guaranteed winners medal

I see the Aussies and Kiwis are still taking part in the Olympics though.....

Soft arses!

Really disappointed that Aus and NZ aren’t taking part. Although, I don’t think this news will be the end of it if the players want to come.

Most sensible thing to do would be to delay it a year.

Put a combined Exile team in and allow the UK based Aus/NZ play in a world cup

That’s not really an option as it would clash with the football world cup

Yeah, absolutely nothing to do with that and everything to do with the NRL using it as a convenient excuse to not disrupt their season.

Good game tonight and result.

Mamo covers some ground and always seems to be involved. Surprised he is leaving as seems a key player and always reliable.

Looking like Wire are the only team who could put real pressure on Saints this season!

Been a frustrating time for my team, and the next 2 games cancelled!

Just watching a cracking documentary on Ricky Stuart on Fox NRL 24/7, called “Ricky”.

If you can find it anywhere or have that channel, it’s well worth a watch.

Ah, I’ve really missed the Leeds band. Such a beautiful sound those out-of-time drums and out-of-tune trumpets!
