### 3/5 — Stops showing scores with 5 minutes to play

*2026-04-17, version 7.3.2*

Last week stopped showing scores with 5 minutes to play, both teams scored in this time.
This week showed extra time when we knew who won, posted the score 10 minutes after siren.

### 3/5 — 2026 competition

*2026-03-07, version 7.3.2*

Why can’t I get the 2026 comp on iPad

### 1/5 — Still WIP

*2026-03-05, version 7.3.2*

So, 2026 is here and we’re still none the wiser ! The drop down at the top of the screen is not working (never worked last year either!) so has the 2026 season actually started
This APP is in a sad state and in need of some serious repair 
And some sort of apology to us long serving supporters of Sportsmate apps

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-01-22, version 7.3.2*

Why is the iPad version of this app not working

### 5/5 — Mr

*2026-01-05, version 7.3.2*

5 star

### 2/5 — Women’s

*2025-09-28, version 7.3.2*

Women’s comp

### 1/5 — Gosh

*2024-09-12, version 7.3.2*

If I got caught with white powder on my nose it would be a big deal. Society might look down on me. They would but for the fact that I’m a super excellent rugby league footballer. One week off for me is plenty as I’m no ordinary citizen after all. It might be an opportunity to teach the kids that like league that drugs should not be a part of life but hey I’m the star. So I’ll play next week and nothing to see here. Don’t want to let the fans down after all. So as long as we’re clear,one set of rules for the public and my rules for me. Sweet New you would see it my way.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-08-31, version 7.3.2*

The pop up adds slow this app down so much it takes ages to load a story.  Don’t bother with it…

### 1/5 — Can access 2024 info

*2024-03-16, version 7.3.2*

You need to update your iPad app because it won’t let you select the 2024 season

### 5/5 — I love it

*2024-02-15, version 7.3.2*

A lot
