The Odd Shaped Balls Podcast Episode 10 Part 2 : Rugby League you're welcome

The Odd Shaped Balls Podcast

Welcome Back, in part 2 we're diving deep into how we can shake up the world of Rugby League. Imagine a world where financial rewards fuel the passion on the field, where a seamless pyramid structure elevates the sport from grassroots magic to championship glory. We've got some juicy ideas, like rethinking the pyramid structures and creating an international Champions League vibe.

But hey, it's not just about numbers and positions. We're sprinkling a bit of controversy with some candid takes on the potential reintegration of teams like Catalan and Toulouse back into regional leagues. And oh, the vibrant mix of French, American, and local talent battling it out on a grand Champions League-style platform.

We explore the notion of scrapping the onerous six-again rule and perhaps, dare we say, bringing more technological aid onto the field with a Captain's Challenge designed for the big games.

And if you think that's all we've got, think again! We're serving up the idea of a revitalized international calendar that could be the very lifeline the sport needs to cement its status alongside the world's elite. Let’s not forget the financial lifeline our clubs sorely need, and how perhaps, a sprinkle of marketing genius could lead Rugby League into a golden era.

Grab a cuppa, or maybe something stronger, and join us as we plot out a journey from local playing fields to the glitzy grand stage. Are you in? 🏉
