Ahead of tonight’s big Betfred Super League kick-off between Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves, there’s a simple message to supporters, players, coaches and all involved in all sections of Rugby League – Enjoy the Game.
The Rugby Football League’s Respect campaign was refreshed last year to promote a more positive approach – and that has been reinforced by a new video for 2020 featuring a host of the game’s most popular characters.

Others featuring are: Wayne Boardman (England and Halifax Wheelchair); Tim Sheens (Widnes Vikings and former Australia coach); Kelsey Gentles (England and Castleford Tigers Women); Junior Westwood (Great Sankey – Warners Champion Schools); Jake Webster (Keighley Cougars and former New Zealand international); Dan Campbell (Warrington Wolves PDRL); James Simpson (England and Leeds Rhinos Wheelchair, and RLWC2021 ambassador); Danny Ward (London Broncos coach and Great Britain assistant coach).
They all unite in the following message:
“We are Rugby League.

“This is our sport…what brings us together.
“Everyone should respect each other…
“Everyone should Enjoy the Game.”
