On the domestic front, RFL CEO Ralph Rimmer has an early morning chat with RLW Editor Matt Shaw about where he wants to lead the sport and coping with the challenges and criticisms the job presents.
Hull KR’s Danny McGuire steps up for the latest Quickfire Q & A answering questions put by fans and we consider the impact of Salford’s decision to move away from Friday night games.
Our Talking Point considers the great grounds conundrum: is it possible to have a stadium with a great atmosphere as well as great toilet (and other) facilities, or are the two worlds of tradition and modernity destined to be mutually exclusive forever?
We look at the Top 10 signings made by Championship clubs, plus the Top 10 free agents still up for grabs.
Brian Noble talks to us about Toronto’s ongoing ambitions, we review Swinton Lions’ great escape from relegation and ask if Workington Town could be the ‘new’ York in League 1 next season.
Chris Centrone tells us about the season just gone with Toulouse and his hopes for the future, plus we select a Combined XIII for Halifax and our Dedicated Fan hails from York.
We catch up with inaugural Woman of Steel winner Georgia Roche for a chat about a spectacular season for the England ace, and on the wider international scene we assess Malta’s Emerging Nations triumph, Red Star Belgrade’s Challenge Cup ambitions and Jamaica’s stunning achievement in qualifying for the 2021 World Cup.
