Good Morning!
We did it! Championship status confirmed.
How good does that feel?!
Now we can build an unstoppable club with a long term future in North Wales.
Announcements on sponsorships, season tickets and merchandise will follow in the coming week.

Some very strong words today from Brian McDermott - who says the English game needs to make some 'generational decisions' to transform the fortunes of the national team. Clearly directed at those with the power.

So, it's all pointing towards a home series for @England_RL against New Zealand in 2027, with an Ashes series down under in '28.
Hopefully a mid-season Tri-Nations against France and PNG can be sorted too. More games and preparation can only be beneficial for us.

📰 IRL Chief Troy Grant has confirmed New Zealand are set to tour England in 2027 and plans are being put in place for Australia to host The Ashes in 2028.

2 changes made for Friday's must-win game against PNG. Morgan Knowles back from injury and replaces Victor Radley, who drops to the bench. Jez Litten wins back his starting spot in place of Brad O'Neil.
Wouldn't be surprised if O'Neil is a late inclusion to the bench. #RLWC26

English game in need of “better people and more money” says pundit as Super League and NRL deal nears completion

England v Papua New Guinea
France v Lebanon
Fiji v New Zealand
Samoa v Tonga
What a final week of the group stages we have in store!
Anyone taking a punt on Cook Islands to sneak one over Australia?

(1/2) Some may ridicule this, but what the hell
France are not as bad at Rugby League as their last two scorelines. The fact is the majority of their squad arrived exhausted following their first super league campaign.
Exhausted mid-table SL players v NRL stars. No contest.

If England are playing a series against New Zealand next year, they need prep, they 100% have to play a warm up match. Super League should be having an international break every year.
I’m a big believer in the Super league Exiles concept. My potential 2027 line up.

AJ Brimson goes over for another superb @England_RL try 🏴

🏴 England have done about as much as they reasonably could in pursuit of a semi-final place.

First win for England since beating Samoa in 2024.
Nobody played a bigger part in today's demolition job, than AJ Brimson. His carries through the French line to set up multiple tries, the ditch defence and sheer workrate across the pitch. Leader of the pack.

I think France always knew this world cup would be painful for them. Their last meaningful test before this comp was way back in 2023.
Worth saying that most of their squad have come from their first super league campaign and are exhausted.
They need more games and investment.
England have given themselves a fighting chance of making the semi-finals. What a response from last week!
And nobody has deserved a try more today than AJ Brimson! He was England's best player last week in a losing cause against Tonga. He's been sublime today in the ultimate demolition job!
England 82-0 France. What a response from last week this has been #RLWC26
Another try for England. 70-0 now. Jack Welsby given a free run-in. You Know Who with another run through the line, with the assist! #RLWC26
