A celebration of 90 years of RL in France and it plays second fiddle to a championship game .

Scheduling is something they need to look at, we also played Leeds twice in a row at home. Know it's hard to get it completely even with stadiums having pitch work derby games needing to be at Easter etc but surely having teams play each other once each 'half' of a season isn't that hard.

Also on the broadcasting lowlights include the BBC showing a semi against the Premier League final day (even 2 hours earlier kickoff would have helped there) this weekend they've out put an England game on against the Euros and that's probably a factor in not getting it on TV (Friday night is a night off for the Euros) Hard to avoid every event I know but the game needs to get sharper at it

The Thursday before the Euros began there was no sport on TV, a super League game then would have drawn in the viewers, instead they scheduled 3 at once on the Friday, clashing with the opening game of the euros. Definitely need to be smarter with the scheduling and stagger kick off times more.

Is anyone familiar at all with rugby league seriously expecting the empty blazers at RFL HQ (or the self-interested blowhards of SL for that matter) to apply common sense after all these decades?

The game has been in its death throes for a long time now, and all they ever do is rearrange the Titanic's deck chairs one more time: IMG is merely the latest manifestation.
