@rjsports1 @AaronBower Don’t hear or see anything in London to tell you the game is on. An extra 10% of random fans is another 6000 bums on seats. Surprised to see as many gaps in te Wigan section

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@LUFC It’s been coming. We can’t just sit back all game

@johnnyddavidson Saw on companies house that some of their other businesses have overdue accounts

@smiain182 @Six_Again @onlyinRL Getting the same @SkySportsRL

@TruthTalkingMav Or the screeching of the Ref.

@leedsrhinos What a joke, no power, poor to images and audio. Sums up the state of rugby league. Time to get the NRL in

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

Wakefield vs Leeds what a joke of a game. Floodlights fail, tv image and sound quality is so poor. Commentators audio now disappeared.

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@TrylineUK What is wrong with the audio?

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@rugbyleagueontv What awful coverage

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@Londondwel77743 @charlfromdevon @jim_demps Maybe true in Europe but look in the pacific. The NRL is expanding into more of the pacific. Union game is dwarfed by league in Australia and with the pacific championship the likes of Fiji, Tonga, Somoa, Papua New Guinea it’s only getting stronger.

@fieldheadrhino1 @GavWilson Danny McGuire on a recent podcast said part of the issue is the various sponsorship and corporate agreements means giving up a home game is difficult for Leeds

@lewis_goodall I feel more sorry for the UK based Aussie sports reporter who unfortunately has the same name and has had no end of abuse and he didn’t do anything

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@supertolerant I feel sorry for the Aussie sports reporter who covers rugby league in the England getting all the online hate as people on x don’t understand that more than one person can have the same name

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@miss_paula_chi Paula any views on whether the decline of Rugby League in northern England was due to Margret Thatcher’s industrial policy in the 1980’s?

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@johnnyddavidson Another open and thorough search has yet again ended with someone in the room getting the job again. It’s amazing how many high flying executives the RFL is full of

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@scratchingshed2 It's interesting to see the difference in reach of the SL and NRL. Both posted highlights of the game on there YouTube channel. SL has about 28k views whereas the NRL has 200k

[Paul Stephen @Paulstephen2]

@GavWilson Personally split the championship into 2 conferences of 10 teams East and west. Play home and away with top 4 from each conference playing a knock out format with a grand final
