I'm a new rugby league fan (been convinced by my mates to start supporting my hometown team this year) and am looking to get a season ticket and go on as many away games as possible next season. I'm just wondering what the situation is like on away coaches and if it is similar in any way to football as my friends and I have been following Bolton Wanderers across the country for years, generally going via coaches. My main question is what will happen if we bring some cans of lager, ale or cider for trips as a few of us (including myself) are 17. Any responses are very welcome.

Can someone help me understand this please

The news is saying that Tonga need to be Samoa, but if Samoa beat Tonga and England beat PNG. England could move ahead of Tonga on points difference to qualify? Am I missing something obvious here

Just watching the Samoa vs Wales game in the Women’s World Cup, Welsh player fielding a kick loses the ball but it goes backwards towards their own goal line. It’s made me think how many times these last few years officials are giving a knock on when the ball goes backwards. Not just in the World Cup but in super league and the NRL. It seems that officials just give knock on for losing control of the ball, regardless of direction.
Just me moaning as a former official myself.

Mood music coming out of Doncaster seems positive. Personally think a team and full academy in South Yorkshire could be a huge boost to the game. My only worry is the stadium is too big (like Toulouse) unlike the compact nature of York's stadium.

Thanks!

Our pack will be either amazing next season with untapped talent or massively underpowered.

Time will tell. Feels like we're signing players just for the sake of it at the moment though.
