🇫🇷 Congratulation France! 🏆9th team to qualify for RLWC2026 #RLWC26

Hey England Rugby League imagine if you cared about your neighbours and had been having a 3 game series with France for the past 15 years. I'd say your players would have had more big games together and formed some decent combinations. You'd also be able to weed out a few players.

This Samoa vs Tonga game is as good as ANY State Of Origin game I've seen in YEARS! Amazing attack, amazing defence! We need more of this! We need Samoa vs Tonga EVERY YEAR! #RugbyLeague #NRL

Tonga v Samoa. 44,682. #nrl

#RugbyLeague has set a new attendance record for a wkd of Test matches, around 50% more than previous record (according to Rugby League Project data). Top 3 Attended Weekends of International Rugby League: 1. 2025 = ~126k 2. 1957 = 86,655 3. 2017 = 84,318 League Freak David Riccio ⚡Steve Mascord☠️

Jeez I wonder why that is... These yawnion clowns 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

My International Rugby League team of the week From the first Ashes Test and the Pacific Championships round 2

Should be picking players on form, not on who is bum buddies with the coach

Matthew Shaw Rugby League in England hasn’t evolved in 30 years unlike the NRL… No investment, mediocre grassroots, no growth Too many yes men looking out for themselves, rather than the good of the game We need PVL and Andrew Abdo, instead of Big Nige’s Pie and Peas Mafia Simple

The Ashes post mortem: The best time for the RFL to build Wales and France was twenty years ago. The second best time is now. You could do a 4 nations of England Wales France Jamaica and use SuperLeague to have minimum player quotas for each national. Or the RFL can keep whining

⚡Steve Mascord☠️ Eng fans who have only been English for generations, like Aussies who trace family back to Eng, do not understand the power of heritage. As an Aussie with Italian grandparents, I get why Aussie Tongans & Samoans feel Tongan& Samoan. No matter what “plenty of English fans” say.

'THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT TOO MANY IN' 🚨 England have been criticised for snubbing NRL stars amid their horrorshow in the Ashes series opener... and two stars are 'under pressure'... READ MORE 👉 bit.ly/3WljMbZ

The way Tino Fa'asuamaleaui carried on in the 1st Test, remembering his rubbish with Burton in Origin a couple years ago, him wanting out of the Gold Coast despite him being shit for them for years and him also agitating to join a "successful" club, shows what a Cat he is.

Now that the dust has settled and the rawness of that first test defeat has faded a little, here's my take on where England went wrong on Saturday at Wembley, and how it can be put right this weekend, in Liverpool. #RugbyLeague #Ashes20205 aviewfromthestands.com/2025/10/27/rl-…

Nothing wrong with Wembley. It's the pathetic RFL that have gatekept the sport in a few old mining and textiles villages for 130 years, that is the problem.

M62 followers jumping at shadows now re: Samoa and Tonga and heritage players. Fact is most of their players play week in and week out in the NRL and most of England's play in Harold Matt's ie "Super" League.

Honestly wtf are these guys waffling on about? Sounds like none of them want to rock the boat and lose their buffet privileges along the M62. Kangaroos were bang average and waltzed to victory. England are getting flogged again next week. youtu.be/ATqjx-BITLM?si…

More typical fasicst behaviour, by those hypocritical yawnion scumbags youtube.com/watch?si=oQcma…

I know that Perth and PNG are coming in, in quick succession and it would be tough to bring another club in right away, but a 2nd NZ club in the NRL is an absolute must.
