@andyburnham you said you do what you could to promote RL...this is your acid test. A "major" sporting behind a paywall it just wouldnt happen in Football or Union. This is your opportunity to be a man of your word.
The coverage on SS+ on the RB is dreadful tbh, video ref referals take far too long; the sound cut out; or the pictures keep jumping/ jerking...same last week with Hull v Leigh. There is obviously a deep rooted issue, it happens every week. Put you off watching.

Exclusive: I have uncovered major allegations against Egg Chaser, the company that owns North Wales Crusaders. More than 50 individuals have claimed they are owed money by Egg Chaser, with amounts totalling thousands of pounds.

It is with great sadness that my 13 year association with North Wales Crusaders has come to an end.
My statement below 👇
Ben i think many ordinary folk recognise this path to success, regardless of politics or religion, hard work ALWAYS pays off.
I am pleased its all working out for you; keep living the dream and keep working hard. You are a good bloke
Yeah I suddenly walked into a TV presenting job with the click of a finger…
I worked in Sainsbury’s, for EDF Energy, the water board, call centres, all from age 17, just to get money. I didn’t care what job I did, I just needed to support myself. I said yes to everything, trusting that I’d one day get there and everything would work itself out. I didn’t turn down jobs because it wasn’t my field or what I wanted or dreamed of right that minute or think I was above anything or anyone.
I had no money. I never went to uni. I saved hard for a £5,000 journalism course, I then worked like a dog at local newspapers (still on minimum wage) and at a bookmaker at the same time doing 20 hour days for years just to keep grinding.
I spent more hard years commuting to London and back, doing graveyard shifts at papers then waiting at Blackfriars station at 3 in the morning to get home to Sussex and start my other job at 9am. It nearly killed me. For years. 16 years it took me to get here.
And you know what? I loved it all. I loved the journey, I loved the dark moments asking myself if it was all worth it. I loved the wins. I loved the hard lessons. And I love what I’m doing now.
Yes I have the best job in the world (for me) and I’m incredibly grateful. And I’m still grinding. I’ve just done 14 days straight, travelling to Texas, Florida, then DC. Doing a three hour show every night. But I recognise how fortunate I am. I always have, even when I was stacking shelves.
I didn’t just turn up at a studio and start presenting.
Most importantly I never played the victim.
Great to be involved with @clubber for the inaugural coverage of @TheChallengeCup involving @NWCrusadersRL & @LeighLeopardsRL, it was a great occasion and would like to thank my co-commetator @DaveParkinsonRL and all the production crew that worked on the game.

It wouldnt be difficult to arrange that..the team that has a bye would plays the team that would of had Fev that week.
Im so frustrated with RL in the UK right now. The sport is crying out for strong leadership, they are making it up as they are going along. The structural changes STILL NOT announced despite pre-seaaon starting next week for some. Then the bent ruling of Bradford Bulls being in.
2/3- SL with full distribution monies while the other 2 new teams get half....how can that be a even playing field. Not suprised when Woods is involved. Then we hear of the meeting between NRL/RFL....Tell us what was discussed. Instead we have bias opinion pieces from certain
Very dissapointed with @England_RL, very lack lusture, no intensity. Wane needs to motivate his squad for next week
COMING UP| @CRUCASTRL will be back for one more show in 2025 on Wednesday with the LAST EVER interview with departing coach @cforster26 & we will have the FIRST EVER interview with incoming coach Dean Muir. DONT MISS IT
This is appalling and any threat after the incidents of this week should be treated with the upmost of seriousness, and the perpetrator should feel the full force of the law.
I do hope that both sets of players and spectators do get home safely.

This is my worry, the vanity project of independence will cost Welsh citizens. The PC leader himself a former TV himself, so normally a very good communicator is struggling to answer this question.
🚨WALES £1 BILLION WORSE OFF UNDER PLAID🚨
Anti-Wales party Plaid Cymru leader @RhunapIorwerth appeared on Newsnight yesterday. And he had a very tough time. Host Victoria Derbyshire challenged Iorwerth on Plaid plans which would see Wales £1 billion off. He had no answer ...
