Not really disappointing considering the game was also televised by SKY so they were competing for the same audience so it's to be expected the figures would be lower with them not having exclusive coverage. To be honest I didn't even realise that CH4 were televising it as well as SKY until I flicked near full time. If I'd known I'd have watched the Ch4 coverage.

That for me indicates again the poor marketing of the sport and its fixtures.

Oh yeah - maybe it's good news then

Catlalans are the one expansion team the RFL has got right.

They are not completely an expansion team as RL was played in Perpignan for decades, but they definately got the branding spot on. The colours and Dragon are great and it gets a whole region (and wannabe republic) behind them.

The 3 years of no relegation worked well, they got to a CC final in their 2nd year. So its baffling why that policy was abaondoned but thats RL for you...

Always thought Wrexham was a missed opportunity for the game, close to the heartlands not a lot else going on in North Wales and a legit base for Wales national side. Years later the hollywood stars have seen the potential with the Football team.

She'd probably get a bigger ban than Josh McGuire

Rfl expecting around 55k on Saturday, not a bad effort, only 5k lower than last year's final and similar to the CC final this year

Good news and sounds like they have done a better job of selling the final to neutrals in advance, which is needed as you cant bank on having 2 well supported teams every year
