Sorry but they do, even more so. Would you believe that the SRL grand final was last night too? So that is a Friday, at the same time as the final of their own league comp, an England v Scotland football match, played outside Scotland.
The SRL couldn't run a p**s up in a brewery.

On Radio 5 at hourly intervals along with a feature at 8am, also on BBC TV breakfast show.
Quote: wrencat1873 "and surely now is the time to schedule an international in Scotland! get England to go there mid-season, use this unexpected NZ draw as promotion, promote it as 'low paid, hard working Scotland' against 'moneybags England' they've got to start somewhere and at least get the Scottish media aware they have a team and there's a World Cup on later in the year.'"
Sadly that would involve the SRL, that means it would be on a Friday night in Galasheilds with a 6pm KO. Bleedin' useless.
