Wakefield the latest Super League club to post big losses for 2025: in excess of £1.4million. Couple of caveats; Matt Ellis publicly said he can plug those losses and Trinity's turnover rose from £3.6m in 2024 to £6m last year. loverugbyleague.com/post/wak…

That's fine, but wait until there's a natural break - momentum was taken away from the sides last night with the random stoppage. 🤷

The RFL will introduce hydration breaks to all games this weekend in a proactive bid to aid players during the extreme weather ☀️💦

✨ A man that knows a thing or two about winning at Wembley!! Ian Brooke scored in our 1963 Challenge Cup win against Wigan! A team littered with legends such as Derek Turner, Harold Poynton and Neil Fox! A new chapter awaits in 2026...Two wins from Wembley. Dare To Dream? 🎟️ wttickets.fixturesdigital.co… #UpTheTrin

Personally think this is a bit too soon after the last 'heritage wall'. That took some sorting but a lot of good folk invested in that option! Disappointed. 😕

Watching NZ v Samoa and NZ have just scored. There was an error by Samoa which gave NZ the ball in great field position. The broadcaster showed the try 4 times - but didn't show the error! A significant difference in attitude to @SkySportsRL coverage! Please learn from this! 🙏

The field was not full sized, the runoff areas were dangerous, and the field was "not allowed" to have adequate markings on it. Rugby League should never be played there again.

Enjoying a few pints with my hero Sir William John Boston, in the Black Bull, St Helens, two elderly boys from Cardiff, with Billy 91 and myself 81 , it’s a long time since we left our homes in Cardiff for a life in Rugby League.🍺🍺⁦@RLCares⁩ ⁦@WalesRugbyL⁩

Id love to know why the sport doesn’t at least consult stakeholders on decisions like this. If it was a choice of Magic Weekend or a top 8 play offs I think I know what the majority of fans would choose. Additionally Sky like showing Magic so I can’t imagine they’ll be too happy.
