Self interest wins the day.

I don’t think this should be down to the other clubs, should be a strategic decision from RFL

Sad day, not sure League can afford to shun expanding nations

Hey Bro, Totally off topic from this post. How has Murdoch- Masila been going?

I have hardly seen Warrington on TV tbh, a few games I have missed. Impact player though, maybe short spells next season. I do worry about his injury record

Just heard an interview with the Wolfpack’s coach Brian McDermott ripping into the ESL decision.

Calling it the worst decision ever in league and not holding back...

They are getting punished for abandoning the league. Its petty but understandable. WP only have themselves to blame...

The WP have issues but for the good of league and for the expansion of the sport; a long term solution needed to be worked through.

It appears to have been the clubs voting with self interest to cut a competition team rather than an independent oversight body with a long term strategic outlook, making the decision.

Ian Watson has just left Salford

He has to have a better job lined up, I wonder if Wolff is leaving St Helens. Alternatively Lam isn’t staying at Wigan

Try try telling that to the players and staff that the owner left high and dry in the UK when a lockdown was first discussed. Didnt even pay their accommodation let alone their salaries. He got what he deserved...

Another Grand Final for the Wigan lads. I don't think we will win it if we play Saints, but Sean O'Loughlin deserves to go out with a big shiny trophy in his hand (as does James Graham TBH)

How Toronto’s place will be filled next season

The knock on effect is an additional place in the championship to be filled under a similar process following league 1 club applications

Would be nice to see Toulouse take the spot

They’ve got a good chance. The alternatives have all had a stint in super league, London, Widnes, Leigh

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

I’m hoping my team gets promoted from league 1 to championship as a result. So does James Graham

Anyone else watching the final. Really intense considering the lack of spectators, St Helens 2-0 up with only 15 minutes to go

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Incredible finish. Score at 4-4. Tommy Makinson drop goal from about 40m as the hooter sounded, ball hits the post, rebounds into play then bounces back into the in goal area and Welsby gets there before the Wigan full back. St Helens win, just

Unlucky mate. Thought you were going to win

 

[Ever Hopeful]

That was a mental finish. A bit of a dagger in the heart for Wigan there.

Best finish to a GF ever probably, up there with Cows/Broncs and early Origin games.
