    I like to imagine a scenario where all Rugby League Clubs ran League Tag teams in regional or otherwise competitions. Like you said earlier where in some of the Queensland Ladies League Tag competitions there was often some crossover between the non-tackle and tackle versions of the sport.

    There was a tag league that had teams connected with clubs, with Featherstone having the official tag team (along with wheelchair, touch, and ladies team).

    Teams from Hull, Wakefield, Leeds, Rochdale, Warrington, Leigh, Castleford, Wigan and more. 

  2. There was a proper tag league 10 years ago, that became affiliated with the RFL and helped them to get the original Sport England funding.

    Prior to then, there was no laws, regulations, officials, etc. 

    It saw pre-match entertainment at the Semi's of the Challenge Cup final.

    This was no way part of Try Tag Rugby.

    The RFL then canned it off, the league was disbanded and then only played friendlies - none of these teams play anymore. 

    Tag rugby could be huge, but it won't.

  3. For a few seasons I was club photographer at Featherstone and was lucky enough to be part of a very successful era at the club.

    Seeing many successful moments, but also seeing some incredible lows. 

    A few years ago I published a post on Sporting Memories website (who do incredible work) - the post was in 2013, see:

    This image was one of my favourite ones from that year.

    I really would like to get out more with the camera, so if anybody wants to meet up and do some location photography, get in touch.

  5. Hi Folks,

    I could do with a favour on Sunday and i definately require your help and co-operation.

    As you well know its the big one and we have a great support backing us I'll be getting a few crowd shots and I want a picture of the whole supporters in the South Stand voicing up / arms in the air getting behind the folks.

    I want the noise to be so load you'll knock old skinny bean over ;)

    A fine example of this (but better on Sunday) is pictured below.

    Cheers,

    Chris
