Standing ovation for Jon Dutton. In the end, despite obstinance, self interest, political back-stabbing, myopia, betrayal and cynicism - plus a pandemic and cost of living crisis - he won. And if the game is not completely fucked, it will win big as a result, too.

Shoutout to Clare Balding, who most probably performed her last public duty as RFL President yesterday. She’s been a superb ambassador for the sport, particularly the women’s game, has been visible throughout her period in the role and has promoted all the good things going on.

So it's all over

What a fantastic tournament Rugby League World Cup 2021 was.
