Our survey says? Well, we’re still here, into our sixth year of bringing you some kind of Rugby League discussion programme, though Schoey is on the DL and Mark is elsewhere, so Phil and Richard are holding the fort, and battling Facebook, to talk about two newsworthy games on Sunday, with Headingley hosting a unique event for Rob Burrow, Jamie Jones-Buchanan and a host of names of the past, while, over at the Mobile Rocket, Danny Brough’s career was celebrated, but there was a serious injury to Mose Masoe.
We talk about the RFL’s season launch, changes to the Women’s Super League, and how some bloke with ginger hair who lives in a castle and married a foreigner has shone a big light on the sport ahead of the World Cup draw this week.
