Pretty much the title, was the match between the Netherlands and Scotland all community club based? I saw from the 18 man squad it certainly looked like it, which is a good sign. I’m glad Scotland doesn’t seem to be England B anymore, and the old Scotland A side seems to have superseded it.

By 5 stars I mean GOAT level status

Is it just me or do a lot of Fijian NRL players seem to be wingers (sometimes centres)? Players like Radradra, Sivo, W.Blake, Tuquiri, Koroibete, Vunivalu, Ravalawa, Uate, list goes on.

Can't believe that a few years ago we weren't even in the league now we top. There is hope for all the teams. We're just enjoying our 5 mins in the sun

The club (formerly Coventry Bears) have qualifed for the League 1 play-offs for the first time in the combined history. They will play Workington Town in the 5th/6th place eliminator game with the venue depending on the 2 teams' results next weekend.

Does anyone know if Samoa and Tonga are still considered second tier nations for rugby league

I’m a bit ignorant to how exactly it works in the USA, so any help is much appreciated. I’ve seen on Twitter a bit of information about the USARL final, but I don’t fully understand what’s happened. As far as I can tell, there’s four conferences (pacific, Utah, Florida and east) and the winners of each play each other (pacific vs Utah and Florida vs east) and then the winners of those two play each other in the final. Utah won the semi final, but for some reason the teams pulled out? I’ve tried to find why but either it hasn’t been said or I’ve missed it, so any help is appreciated.

Our U7 season has just wrapped up, and in the main it's been a successful season.

Next year, in the U8 it's a big step up, as I'm no longer on the pitch to guide the players as to who will be dummy half and first receiver etc. Hopefully the introduction of the vests will help with this, but my main concern is getting them to the point where they will decide who between them will get the ball, and other things such as playing the ball correctly.

Any advice of drills that will encourage this? My players aren't the best at listening and concentrating, and still prefer the games such as scarecrow and octopus. I want to keep my sessions as game based as possible, whilst still keeping the fun element, as I acknowledge that they're still young kids.

Any advice from U8 coaches or parents would be most appreciated.

Many Aussie and Kiwi rugby union fans also follow rugby league. Is it the same in Europe?

Will NRL and super league players play, or do you think they will pick specialist nines players?

A disillusioned Union fan here from the uk. I was just wondering how league is going down in NZ. Is league a sport on the rise in NZ? What is the relationship like between league and union in NZ?

Having watched NZ been so dominant for so long in Union, I'm just really interested to see how league is doing in NZ.

Thanks

Nathan Cleary's won 3 premierships in a row but hasn't dominated the Origin stage. DCE dominated Game 1 and Moses dominated Game 2 - maybe the winner out of these two locks down the Aussie halfback spot?

And what about the battle between Reece Walsh and Dylan Edwards? Class v consistency.

Last but not least. If Jake Trbojevic leads the Blues to a title in a heroic performance - could he be the Kangaroos' next Captain 😮

Hey guys, I’ve been into footy for a while and have played for 2 team when I was younger and was wondering is it too late to start playing footy again for a team. I’m 17 male and am very passionate about footy and my love for it has rekindled again but idk if it’s too late to start playing for a club. I just wanna play footy for a club and that’s all not anything career wise. Is is too late for me ?

This crowd looks even poorer than England's start, I can certainly see why the NRL hesitates to send teams to Europe

Hey all

Been living in Melbourne for a few years and have not really made any friends keen on my beloved NRL. I am a Parramatta supporter but love the game before anything else and just want to watch some footy.

If anyone needs company or if I can tag along with your group that would be awesome.

I'm 32, male, extremely easy going and down for a laugh.

P.s. not a creep.
