Yes good point Artist, I suppose anybody who knows about premier will be more inclined to go to their local matches anyway. As long as its increasing the profile of the sport i'm happy. Super League may even manage a sponsor next season!

Down to the last few tickets for the KC, chance it'll sell out before Saturday, the only blocks left are the below:

This was a really sensible thread till you ruined it with your last statement!

Does anybody else think England have a chance? Personally I think we have a big shot at the Final, I know NZ and Aus have won all their games but I don't think their margins of improvement have been as big as ours. Im not sure about M.McIlorum or L.Cudjoe though they are good players but don't know if they add anything to the team. S.Tomkins is yet to show the world stage what he can do hopefully he does and England RL might get the credit they deserve.

I think we've got a chance but for all that PNG were a bit rubbish NZ were very, very good for thirty minutes on Friday night.

I don't think it always comes across on the telly but at the game The Kiwis line speed in defence was frightening and their right edge with SBW, Whare (who I thought was outstanding) and Tuivasa-Sheck has got it all, pace, power, slight of hand, an almost telepathic understanding and booming tackles in defence.

I also really worry about our defence around the ruck, Isaac Luke as well as being the world's best face puller is like a slippery electric eel out of dummy half.

Off to Italy v Tonga this afty, it'll be nice to see The Shay finished, I always thought it was a really tidy little ground when we were in the same division as Fax.
