Non League Football
The Hallucinating Goose replied to Eddie's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports
Incredible performance from the Beavers this evening with them drawing 1-1 with Scarborough, who play 3 divisions above Beverley. Our defence was brilliant and we were definitely the better side in the second half. Things are looking very positive during this preseason. We've got an exciting season ahead! -

It says no change on the column labelled significance. That is different to a statistical change. You can have a statistical change while still labelling that change no significance. Columns P, Q & R show the rate % of population and then the 95% lower and upper confidence level. Comparing these values to the 2022/23 data shows a clear statistical change. The change is 0.12% to 0.16% of population. -
The brumbies are named after the environmentally destructive feral horses that destroy national parks to the south of Canberra. The feral horses are called brumbies. Every now and then the government shoots huge numbers to keep numbers down. The horses are heavily romanticised in some parts of society but most think they are a pest.

We don’t usually allow any kind of political stuff in here but this is worth making an exception for. But please, stick to commenting on the rugby league aspect of it only. Any other comments on Macron’s state visit belong in the politics sub forum. Thanks -
Overseas player allowance officially increased
phiggins replied to Harry Stottle's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I think in isolation that this is a bad move. At very least it needs to be accompanied by increased salary cap dispensations for club trained players, and maybe even a reduced dispensation for players that play 3 years at a club before the age of 22 or 23, so clubs are still incentivised to give younger players a chance, even if not from their academy as a teenager. To play devil's advocate though. I see various people on social media suggesting that the standard of the league is down on what it should be. If that is the case, then we probably have a batch of players that are non-quota and late 20s / early 30s that are being paid over the odds as clubs are trying to complete a squad. If we're replacing those, rather than blocking places for the players now coming through, then this doesn't necessarily need to be a bad thing. As a Leigh fan, if we use the extra spots to replace players like Jack Hughes (33 years old), Gaz O'Brien (33), Brad Dwyer (32) or even Matty Davis (29), then I won't be too fussed. But I'll be very disappointed if we use the spots to push Hodgson, Towse etc down the pecking order. -
And instead they bought a load of plastic seats and advertising lhd boards

It will impact opportunities because English players currently get a chance for those clubs in the Championship. -

Im not sure how its up to the clubs what players are worth, that should be up to market forces to decide. RL always seems to wish to artificially limit what players are worth, first it was the salary cap and now this. -
