What is good is all levels of the game now playing by same rules

How hard is it to agree a set of rules NB? I would clearly blame those pillocks.

Pillocks? Which ones? RFL or NRL? Its a simple enough question

Who are you saying is at fault? Do we slavishly follow NRL rule changes

I can understand adjustments for COVID but in general they mess around with the rules or 'interpretations' too much.

I am not actually disagreeing with you, it is crazy that you have 2 domestic leagues playing different rules and then a different set for international games. But why is that fault of the RFL if thats whats being suggested.

Changes to the rules has been a part of the game ever since i have been watching it, some good, some bad. Without it we would still be in unlimited tackle territory and 3 points for a try, so its not all bad

Don't think anyone specified the RFL but unless its been wound up on the quiet, I thought the International Rugby League was the world governing body. So in this instance, those pillocks.

So IRLF set the international rules, err those pillocks as you call them are between a rock and a hard place. Whos rules should they follow. RFL do one thing NRL do another! Rule changes differ each year depending on hemisphere. 1 or 2 referees being a classic.
There is no world governing body that sets the laws of the game for domestic leagues, only international games.

Wow, I wonder how other sports manage when there are many more countries playing ?

Suppose its what makes our game unique

Perish the thought that FIFA, the ICC or World Rugby to name but 3 don't have control of the rules of their games. RL is a fairly simple game, you would think the RFL & NRL could put self interest aside & agree on a set of rules for the greater good of the game. As I said previously, pillocks the lot of them.

Be nice wouldnt it, cant see it happenig though, not until NRL take over SL financially

Well at least I agree with you on that although can't see it happen. Wouldn't be averse to giving Mark Evans carte blanche to improve the game here.

Now here's a thing.
Plenty of folk have often mused about the NRL taking over the RFL/SL to make it better, but the reality is a far different thing.
The NRL are the #1 game in 2 of the most populous states in Australia, but are still behind other games elsewhere. The SL era in the UK was driven by an Australian owned broadcaster who genuinely though that the game would "explode" as an summer thing to do outside of soccer.....it didn't!

In short. we let the aussies run the game at the start of SL......why do you think letting them at it again will be any different?

Venture capitalists are crawling over other sports with huge offers......why do you think the All Blacks are a bigger more financially viable option that the entire Superleague?

Is that a question?
Not sure why you are asking me, i am a fan of the game, i cant control who runs it or finances it.
I didnt suggest that NRL running SL would be better or worse, only that wothout a sky tv deal it might well happen

Getting back onto the subject, Toulouse. France is expected to be put on the Red List this week. Therefore travel for the team to France will not happen.

should move over to uk...play games in brighton /Bristol or far away from the north...let em travel!!

Plymouth's Home Park would be better or if the RFL want to keep the North American embers glowing how about Montreal?

No it's not the Govt have said France isn't going on the red list.

France back in lockdown.....either toulouse move to the uk for the next few months or their season is over in terms of the championship 2021.

Been trying to find the rules on elite sport teams in france and travel, even if as second tier they are classed as elite

Nobody allowed to travel more than 10kms. Union has taken their euro finals away from mille and in lockdown 2 in france all team sports stopped.

The travel 10k ban like anything has lots of exemptions. Without the details cant assume anything yet.
Previous lockdown in france elite sport was allowed to continue. Lets see what they decide

With just over 2 weeks to go to the game, the RFL need to make a decision NOW! Things can only get worse not better in that short space of time. If we are the only team expected to travel to France, Hughes should refuse & very publicly too.
