Thanks for sharing that, good read. Real shame they're not in 4N as they have some good foundations in place and what seems like a genuine plan to build the game.

Don't wanna be the wet blanket but, while the overall message seems cheery, the 23% drop in registered players in the last year seems less cheery. As does the Total Registered Players figure of 1440

Those numbers, whilst not great are only for weekend competitions, don't include school participants which are more around the 10K mark.

On a positive note the WRL is solvent and making small profits. This is positive for the future success of the WRL as a seperate entity from the RFL.

You'd imagine as well that now that they are free of the responsibilities of the Scorpions it will give them more resources to dedicate into growing participation again.

I cannot confirm for definite, but the drop in paid staff was allied to a drop in funding from Sport Wales of nearly six figures if what I have been told is correct due to the WRL taking over the Scorpions, this was despite the improvements in grading by Sport Wales in regard to Governance since C Thair took over.

That in itself makes this report great reading.
