Rugby League is a sport that desperately needs to expand its geographical supporter base and its player base. This imperative means that all other requirements are secondary until this is done.
All power in the game should be with governing bodies, especially international governing bodies.
Without these actions we will remain a minor sport internationally and nationally.

Care to share any of your thoughts on your time with Carlisle Holty? I remember my brother had a Barrow Carlisle game on vid from 96 (I think?). You came off the bench (at hooker?) in a team with Rhodesy, Willie Richardson, and Stu? Measures... all future Barrow players.

Willie Richardson never played for Barrow unfortunately as he was a player I rated highly.

I do beg your pardon Keith, I'd had a couple of shandies when I wrote that! Willie Richardson was in the game I mentioned, but think I meant Willie Burns. He played for Carlisle did he not?
