There’s no doubt Rugby League is the toughest of sports. Robbie Hunter- Paul looks at the rights and wrongs of asking players to put their bodies on the line twice over a gruelling Easter weekend and ponders whether financially Rugby League really has any choice.
Richard Moore, now with Leeds Rhinos, talks about overcoming professional and personal setbacks to keep his career on track, and the players at Keighley Cougars display a different kind of toughness. There’s a special report inside on a groundbreaking scheme they are involved in to turn the lives of troubled youngsters in their local community around.
Welsh dual-code international Gareth Thomas talks about his belief in the World Cup and how it can help Rugby League pull in lots of new fans in Wales and beyond, and there’s a look at Samoa’s ongoing preparations for the tournament.
As always, there’s lots more inside too.
