Not me I'm afraid - although I love sport rugby league is a sport I never did get (I think it's a northern thing!)
I pigeon hole it with baseball & American football - i.e. the "boring as fuck" category |

Most of the good Aussies and kiwi’s are playing for tonga and Samoa….
So I expect the final 4 to be England, Australia, Samoa and Tonga (sorry New Zealand)
When you see most of the teams.. it will be Aussies of those decent not good enough to play for Australia (Ireland, Greece ect…) but I am dying to see who Jamaica put out! Lol |

I read today that Auz / NZ can’t both make the final the way the draw works which is a shame. I’m interested to see Jamaica as well - could be a rugby version of Cool Runnings! |

Great result for England today. I've got a ticket for the semi at the Emirates and been offered one for the final assuming I can actually get a day return from London to Manchester on the train! Can't wait! |

It's because Avanti are making a complete clusterfuck of their services and can't guarantee yet which services will run. Even when they do there is the possibility of cancellations. To make matters worse there are already two days of planned strikes between now and early November with more planned. I've got an alert set up for when the train tickets go in sale. |

Great! I got to decide whether to accept an £80 ticket so I'm sure the seller will want more than two days notice. What a farce... |

I'm hopeful it will be okay, if the worst happens then it will be a long drive from South east Surrey to Manchester and back. |

I feel the same way about the rugby league World Cup as I do about the women rugby union World Cup…
I like my sport… but wake me up when they get to the quarterfinals! Because the difference between the haves and have nots is huge, I get they play pool matches but they aren’t actually that interesting!! |

Scrums and rucks are the core of rugby. I love seeing the dark arts in the front row, the jackalling in the ruck, the just-about-legal holding, all of which exhausts the players and gradually frees up space for the backs to weave their patterns.
I do agree that box kicking is the curse of the game, though. |

"Yeah, can’t wait for the quarters - still no train tickets to Manchester on sale though! "
Debating whether to make a long weekend on it and drive. Who knows, I might be able to arrange a meet as well! |

We ended up booking via Sheffield, direct trains still not on sale and had an email saying advance tickets won’t be available - utter shambles! |

Watching! Am unimpressed with the lack of women in both squads though. "Most inclusive" sport that's currently just blokes. Wheelchair basketball is more mixed at the amateur level..... |

It's supposed to be mixed gender. Wales have two women on their wheelchair squad. Good match so far, might give it a go. |

Yep, the land of my fathers has selected two ladies. I believe USA has one lady. It's hard as a disabled woman to find decent competitive sporting opportunities, unfortunately.
It looks like excellent fun, I'd like to give it a go. Chairs don't actually look any different to my wheelchair basketball chair...... |

Tough game today for England, think PNG are very under rated and will be very very physical, but futness should see us home by 10 / 15 points
Think the groups have been a susess so far, but will never understand why they didnt give Cumbria a game, or why scotland played the Aussies at Coventry, RL admin big mistake there
Watched the wheelchair this week, wow top marks to those guys, really entertaining game as well
Waney has a good squad here and great team spirit, and the aussies dont seem to be as formidable as in the past, maybe our best chance of a series win for years |

Towns bid for games I guess none of the places in Cumbria put in a bid.
I'm off to Wigan today. Think the only issue is that some ticket prices are high and marketing didn't really get going till a couple of months ago |

I'm disappointed only the wheelchair FINAL is round these parts. Lots of the pool games are middle of the day, Friday etc and so no way we could go. Even Sheffield is a heck of a drive really. We're away on the evening of the final....... |

I'll be honest, it is a shame to see such low crowds. Summer sun, cheaper prices and it could have been a much better sight.
Freezing your arse off watching France play Greece can't be that appealing. |

The silly thing is, we live right in the middle of prime RL territory!! But aside from the final, there's no wheelchair RL matches being played in the area. |

League stops only for the video decisions, union is a terrible game that is stop start all the game, thats when they are not kicking back and forth to each other
each to their own , but league is a much faster harder game |

Been to 3 games this tournament and would have gone today but for a wretched cold. The problem with this tournament is you could count the exciting, competitive games on one hand, possibly Captain Hook's hand at that. Tomorrow's game should be good and worth watching, other than that it's been a wait for the semis since pretty much day one. |

No league was formed by the working class. Due to losing pay to play a rich man's game for his entertainment. |

to be the best you have to beat the best and they done nothing to scare me but lets get thru samoa first as much as we crushed em game 1 they are still very dangerous and stuffed with world class quality i think today could be a battle they will be up for putting things right and i worry we might be looking at next week not today |

Went to the game today, gutted for England but that’s the way it goes.
On a positive personal note it was the best game of rugby I’ve ever seen live, proper back and forth in the second half and so tense! Every time you thought England were out of it in the 80yr states they found a way back. Me and the lad had a great day |

Great occasion, disappointed there weren't more people there. England only have themselves to blame but Samoa deserved it. That's the second rugby league World Cup semi final I've been to where England were eliminated on the last kick of the game! |

Day trip for me too, London to Manchester via Sheffield as Avanti are such fucktards! Will spend half the day on trains.
Can’t wait though, will be great. Although would have been better had England made it! |

Well done wheelchair players for showing us how to battle even beating that fuckwit touch judge and all his blatant cheating behavior it was on the same level as the refs in the longest yard  |

Missed watching it because we're away but will watch it on catch up. Sounds like a close match? |
