Does anyone know if our game on Sunday is being shown anywhere on TV? I think Viaplay are just showing the Fev York game.

I think there's only London v Toulouse and Fev v York showing on viaplay on the Saturday nothing on Sunday.

This just shows what disregard broadcasters have for this league and the Summer Bash. The Bash used to have all games broadcast. I have had a look on the listing (on sky sports Chanel listings on the TV) and there is no mention of any live coverage for these two games on Viaplay 1,2 or extra but they are showing them on Sunday on their Viaplay extra channel.

London v Toulouse and Fev v York are being broadcasted live on Sat on Viaplay 1. Can’t see anything relating to other games.

On another note. Think we’ll beat Keighley.

Well its a daft concept and one that ought to be scrapped if we cannot even attract a broadcaster for the entire event.

Summer bash.. played in Spring.

OurLeague are covering the other games pay per view.

£20 for a weekend pass or £15 for a day pass.

£4.95 to watch just the Bulls game

Ok. Time to talk about the game itself?
I think it’ll be close but we’ll win. Differences are we’ve nearly a full squad to choose from. Attitude will be right, and not undermined by any young loanees. Reading the Greenwood article from earlier in the week, our loans currently are Fenton Rodgers (who fits everyone’s criteria of a “proper” loan - all year long basically) and possibly Mason.
So, for me:
Walker
Blackmore
Arundel
Gill
DFJ
Patten
Holmes
Baldwinson
Lilley
Lawrence
Butler
England
Thompson

Scurr
Jowitt
Mason
Appo/Wallace

18th - Wallace/Appo - If Lawrence isn’t fit, into squad

With the grown ups on the park we should be ok. No Lawrence or Thompson and we'll struggle with the housery they'll throw our way

Dammit. I wrote about him in the starting paragraph and forgot to put him in. Tricky. Baldwinson, Rogers are both playing well as starting props. But Lawrence if fit has to start. Scurr is playing well as interchange prop. Mason has had 1 good game for us. Mason misses out then

what a total waste of time this tired format is.

I think we'll lose and be subjected to more pant peeing from that lot because it's their cup final

stupid summer bash even the name is naff. Get rid of the magic weekend too that's a waste of time a silly gimmick that devalues the competition.

and don't get me started on the clubs bringing out new kits for it.

A festival of mens and womens nines games from all the different leagues with some of the top amatuer sides thrown in would be better IMO. Overall winners get a trophy but no impact on league standings.

Now available to buy on OurLeague.

Why is everything left to the last minute? There is potential in the app, it just needs some TLC to make it more usable, and a proper schedule for it.

I would probably have brought the game, but when I saw we weren't on Viaplay, I decided to make plans.

Should have been sorted weeks ago.

And this is exactly why Fenton could miss out. The spoiling tactics in the heat of a derby and his running style could be a flash point whereas you’d expect Lawrence would steer the group away from that.
