🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 𝗔𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗮𝘆! Rugby Football League have today announced that our application to join the Wheelchair Betfred Super League for 2025 has been successful. Link in bio for full details #wheelchairrugbyleague #rugby #rugbyleague

I haven't seen anything come out from any official channels, but if the Fiji Sun is correct, the CanadaRavensRL will host the inaugural Women's World Series in October. fijisun.com.fj/2025/01/02/bul…

Some of the dates might not be 100% accurate, but regardless shows the event is tracking well for a 50K+ crowd. Assuming we have similar sales this year as last, getting to 55K+ is a real chance.

History is set to be made this weekend when the first Ottawa Rugby League team in 13 years takes the field at the Loyalist Sports Dome in Belleville. panamrugbyleague.com/ottawa-returns… #RugbyLeague #Canada

So much good news in this story. A team from Ottawa taking the field for the first time in over a decade, the Ospreys finally having some local competition + RL in Canada just growing in general.

Would love to know the ratings for the 7pm - 8pm timeslot. Still encouraging numbers.

More than half a million Americans tune in for NRL in Vegas 2025 panamrugbyleague.com/more-than-half… #RugbyLeague #NRLVegas

Exciting to see year-on-year growth for the competition. Hopefully, the plans for Ottawa to join next year still happens.

Disappointing result... World Series canned for two knock-out games. Worse is that they're not even neutral venues, with both the Cook Islands & France being given significant advantages over South Africa & Jamaica.

So even though a host has been found for the Women's World Series, it still isn't the round-robin format IRL officials told us it was going to be...

Off to really encouraging start with more than a third of all tickets available for the series sold before the general public release. Also, just to put in context, the total aggregate crowd for the '03 Ashes was 70,892.

Exciting to see just how much expansion is happening in Ontario this year. 3 new Men's teams + 3 new Women's teams.

Despite being recently expelled by the IRL, the 2025 Solomon Islands season will still kick off this Tuesday with the third annual Origin series to take place at Town Ground, Honiara. This year's event will feature, Men's, Women's (Nines) and a new U17s Schools series.

The #NRLW players & fans have absolutely no luck when it comes to weather & major events... First ever NRLW Magic Weekend & the weather forecast is for torrential rain. Doesn't help that McDonald Jones Stadium has so little cover (with those few seats actually not on sale)

Based upon pre-sales, FMG Stadium in Waikato is well on track to set a new record for a standalone #NRLW crowd in NZ & set the highest standalone crowd for the season so far. Previous record was 2,527 (Mt Smart 2019), current today's game is looking like it will be 3,000+

Crowd was announced as 5,968. Incredible result, despite the conditions. It's also a new record for a standalone NRLW match (previous record was 3,921 set for Knights v Roosters Rnd 1 2024)

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are hoping to set a new standalone NRLW crowd record today at Belmore after running an active campaign, including partnering with the CBJRL, to promote the match. The current record is 5,968 which was set only last Saturday by the One NZ Warriors in Waikato.

Hamilton backed up last week's NRLW record crowd of 5,968 with a crowd 5,968. Top 5 standalone NRLW crowds this season: Rnd 7 - 5,968 @ Hamilton Rnd 8 - 5,968 @ Hamilton Rnd 8 - 2,535 @ Belmore Rnd 7 - 2,294 @ Central Coast Rnd 3 - 1,924 @ Brisbane

The One NZ Warriors NRLW experiment at FMG Stadium has been nothing short of a huge success with the venue now holding the top 3 standalone #NRLW crowds of all time, including a massive 7,195 against the Broncos today. 18,875 fans have attended the 3x games at the venue.
