Rugby League World  |  432
Frank-Paul Nu’uausala bursts out of our front cover this month, and inside you can read about the big man’s thoughts on life in Wigan, including the quality of the pies.
Is Rugby League a sport that’s going up or going under in terms of the numbers playing the game? We investigate the details behind the headlines in the great participation debate.
Brian Noble is currently leading the Wolfpack charge in Toronto and has some trenchant views on the game’s future. He believes Rugby League just isn’t ‘sexy’ enough and the salary cap should go. Is he right?
We take a trip back in time to the days when ‘cup kings’ Widnes ruled the world and revisit the ghostly remains of Huddersfield’s old Fartown stadium in a brand new feature.
Former Hull KR star Paul Fletcher tells us what he’s up to these days and casts his mind back to the remarkably unsentimental way he was shown the door by the Robins at the end of his career.
Gareth Ellis (Hull FC) and Ben Westwood (Warrington Wolves) reminisce about the big break they both first got at Wakefield during a time of financial crisis, and we catch up with Jarrod Sammut who is aiming to re-establish himself as one of the most exciting players in the game at London Broncos.
We take a look at how Featherstone Rovers are rebuilding their image by utilising their own community heritage, and former Polish junior diving champion Mikolaj Oledzki talks to us about his conversion to Rugby League with Leeds and Bradford.
Down under, we hear about the British stars leading by example in captaining their clubs in the NRL and on the international front, we take a trip to wonderful Copenhagen, discover the growing talent pool across the Irish Sea and there’s a welcome return for Treiziste Diary too.
