Its the end of an era, fan favourite Rugby League Week is set to close its doors and pull up stumps in rd 5 in a few weeks time on the 27th of march.

A staple for RL tragics since 1970 will be no more.

I think the internet and social media have killed off a lot of these publications, years ago before the internet id enjoy picking up a copy of RLW or Big league, these days theres such an over supply of RL news theres nothing youd find in a RLW thats not online for free, theres no real point forking out the $7 for a magazine that you wont read but its still a bit sad to see anything in our game thats served the supporters be no more.

RIP RLW

  • all because of the immortal brand

  • So what's gonna happen with  the whole Immortals concept? 

    • up the to nrl, they haven't announced anything that i know of

    • I believe the NRL will be taking it over.

    • The NRL has bought the immortals concept from RLW but that is all that will be salvaged it looks like.

  • Social media and forums etc, have made these publications irrelevant to purchase i guess.

    I too use to love every week grabbing a copy, hoping for some good eels news. 

    • Same mate, i used to really look forward to a copy in the 80s and 90s, used to read it about 4 times, always had a copy at boarding school as we couldnt watch RL and had no internet, i suppose the times are a changing.

      Just imagine how bad porn magazines would have suffered lol.

  • LOL Mate I bet the Porn Magazines has drop off 98%
