Agree with Peacock and Roby 1 & 2.
Would probably consider Adrian Morley no 3 due to his time down under.

Featherstone looked nailed on for Super League but a surprise loss to London Broncos means the latter or Toulouse will return to Super League next season. Final in Toulouse 2.30pm on Sunday.
Featherstone dropped 4 points all season with 50, Toulouse 2nd with 38, Toulouse 5th on 32.

The introduction of play offs was probably the main reason I stopped watching rugby league on a regular basis.

There are fears for a very low crowd for the Grand Final with Catalans bringing few and not they many neutrals. I tried to cut and paste the article but the file size was too big.
Hopefully a lot of ti jets will be given to school kids etc

Fev fans will be gutted with that. I wonder how likely they are to get a SL Licence from next Winter onwards?
Didn’t know that’s when that was, nice one. Good weekend of rugby league with no footy on:
Saturday 14th October
10:10am Sky Sports Mix, Pacific Cup Test Match
10:10am Australia v Samoa
5:00pm Sky Sports Main Event & Arena & Ultra HD, Super League - Grand Final
6:00pm Wigan v Catalans
Sunday 15th October
6:00am Sky Sports Mix, Pacific Bowl Test Match
6:00am Papua New Guinea v Cook Islands
2:00pm Viaplay Sports 1, Championship Grand Final (I don’t know what Viaplay Sports is!)
2:30pm Toulouse v London

There were 50,672 at the 2018 Challenge Cup Final between Catalans and Warrington. Although there were 20 days to sell the tickets to the two clubs after the semis rather than the 7/8 there are for this one.
There were only 66,281 at the 2013 SLGF between Warrington and Wigan and only 60,783 at the 2022 SLGF between St Helens and Leeds because a lot of the neutrals chose to buy for the World Cup Final at the Swamp later that Autumn in both years instead.
So a 45-55,000 crowd would be a good turnout.
They should offer Wigan a larger allocation and do what they did with the City v Wigan FA Cup final where City had about ¾ of the attendance.
I’m giving the GF a miss this year, but I am thinking of going to England v Tonga the following Sunday.

Good news about attendances this season, highest for some time
www.loverugbyleague.com
If only Bradford were back in SL and Manchester had a SL club (bloody RFL, with a bit of good faith and 25 years forward thinking Manchester Rangers could have been a steady SL club with big crowds… yes, I am still bitter about that!)
This is the time now to grow the game. With rugby union in a bit of a state in England, it’s time to drive for some investment. We’ll never be as big as RU, but we could sell our sport as being played by sustainable clubs who are run well - in what we all know is a better sport! - to investors in the league and clubs.
Has there been a paper by IMG around the future plans yet?
Ranked: Every Super League club's average attendance in 2023 as crowds rise with records aplenty broken
Round 27 saw Super League clubs break the 1.5 million mark for cumulative attendances over the season, the first time in five years that figure has been hit

I might pop to the grand final if the ticket prices are cheap. There’s mention of a train strike too.
No promotion years were worse, I didn't mind the super 8s although the clubs did.
No idea on the licence, but it was similar in 2018 when Toronto ran away with it and lost 4-2 in the final in Canada, promoted the year after though before COVID killed their transatlantic ambitions.

I would like to see Salford get bigger home crowds deserving of the great rugby they’ve played over recent seasons. The away following, particular in the Cup, has been good IIRC.
I’m like a broken reckon this but the RFL are making it harder to attract neutrals, who are out off by the corrupt disciplinary process.
Hopefully, more Clubs will be able to secure improved sponsorship deals like Leeds have for Headingley. Good to read thet new owner of Wakey is talking about investing heavily from his own pocket next season.
