The hundred has been a running joke for the last 2 years in cricket. It was originally setup to get money off a particular broadcaster, I think it was the BBC, who then dropped out. The money injection has mainly gone to the counties as some sort of bribe to not have them involved. Leaving very little for the actual product. So it sounds like something the RFL would organise already.

It was also, and this is the big thing for RL fans to remember, setup for non cricket fans. Fans of cricket were told over and over again that this product wasn't intended for them and it was an attempt to appeal to new fans. This is something that RL fans, as well as cricket fans, struggled to accept. However the ECB just carried on and now they seem to be appealing to a wider audience, at least for the time being. This is something the RFL would never stick at as the usual suspects would complain and the RFL would flip flop.

If we want to copy the "Hundred Model" we need leadership in the sport that is willing to do things that are unpopular and is willing to stick to them. Appealing to a larger audience requires doing things a lot of the traditional fans won't like. If we want to grow the sport we have to stop pandering to certain groups in our game.

I've been going regularly to RL games for decades. I don't have many decades left but will be going even more next season on.

I have only done a few games this last couple season directly because of COVID, same for many others, so why not wait until next season to actually see what the truth here is.

Crowds are down not just on the disease, the integrity of the league is down due to games being cancelled and players being unavailable due to erm....... "covid".........

Soccer has re-set just as restrictions are remvoved, we re-set in 2022 when we will see whether crowds go up or down.

I would not start praising the the ECB, fact is Cricket in it's true form has already died, and is being replaced by a speeded up version of baseball.

The aim is the boundary for every ball - exactly the same as baseball.

It's not cricket that has succeeded here. It's Baseball dressed up as cricket.

I take it you don’t watch much baseball with that comment.

Poor effort....even for a seasoned troll like you, that's just poor.
16k and change went to the Wigan saints derby....25 went to the "baseball" so let's slag off the organisers of the better attended event.....as I say....you're a poundland leaguefreak

Seen it live in San Fran, sure they hit short at times to get the runners round so it's got a bit more to it than the big slog, but the subject is how hundred cricket is somehow showing Rugby League up as staid and boring, again our game is always looking to rule change moves to avoid this. Recent positive changes are under the noses of people who like moaning about the game....Judge RL on a proper season, judge Hundred Cricket on the interest in a few years time..........
