Overall I think that was an excellent World Cup. I like that all sections of the game played together as one tournament. It made it very inclusive.
Whilst here I will just say again what a wonderful person Kevin Sinfield is.

I think it was a mixed success. The wheelchair and women's events were superb. Too many one-sided games - really only a couple of the group matches, two of the quarter finals and the two semi finals that were really close, tense games in the men's comp. Half a million tickets sold was decent but some poor crowds for some games due to the pricing. That said, I went to 11 games in all, enjoyed every one and some great memories of the fans of Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Greece etc. and particularly the women's double header with thousands of kids at Headingley.

Superleague kicks off tonight, with Warrington vs Leeds. No doubt 2023 will be Warrington's year, it being nearly 70 years since their last title...
It does look like a few teams can challenge Saints though - apart from the two above, Huddersfield look strong and Wigan, Catalans and Hull will all fancy their chances.
Penrith Panthers against St. Helens in the World Club Challenge from Australia early Saturday morning (available on Channel 4 as well as Sky, I think) and then Hull KR v Wigan is on C4 at Saturday lunchtime.

I’m really pessimistic about Hulls chances this year. Not sure why but I don’t have a good feeling at all. Just a little underwhelmed by the changes this year.
