UK TV ratings for the first Ashes League test.
The England-Australia League game at Wembley got peak viewing of 930,000 on BBC1.
That compares with 9.6 million for the peak viewing on the same channel for the England-France in the Rugby Union 6 Nations decider in February.

Smiling Stacey has signed for the Wahs

Smiling Stacey has signed for the Wahs
thought this was huge as well "The Warriors had already announced the signings of three members of the Broncos team that won NRLW this year – Gayle Broughton, Mele Hufanga and Annetta Nuuausala."

Yup, that was massive

Yeah; Waaka signing is huge, for a couple of reasons.
Thought the Warriors were ok last season; just didn't have good game smarts.
The addition of Waaka and the other three should take care of that.Most of the good Aussie players are gravitating to the Broncos and Easts.
Which cant be good for the comp.
But I think the Warriors can now give those two some probs.Waaka signing is also big because of the changes to the scheduling of NRLW and SR Aupiki; the competitions now clash, scheduling wise.
Bit of a change in policy; Lendrum said the two competitions were complementary a few months ago.
Waaka chose to sign with NRLW.Also noted that the average pay of NRLW and NPC, while not great, is about the same.

After working so hard to keep him, the GC are going to pay Dave Fifita to play against them. Looks like he is off to Souths.
He better hope Wayne can refocus him, or he's going down was one of the biggest wastes of talent ever.

Probably the most accurate description.

Kiwis still going with CNK at fullback. I would've given Kini a run at FB before the final(assuming Kiwis make the final).
NAS dropped for Willison is a good move.
Taumalolo is back. He and AFB were massive against the Kiwis last year.
Ugh. Dude gives his all, but he's past the point where he is all is enough. Hope he can turn back the clock this weekend.

Interesting bench TMM, Whtye, Clark Willison.
Personally think it is a big out of JMK and Crossland and TMM will probably rotate hooker role.
Would have loved to have seen Kini at the back though

Yeah, TMM to play the Warriors role he played when Webby ran out of other players to use. But JMK is a big loss. I think all Kiwis fans wanted to see Kini there, just not the one who counts in Stacey.
