PLAYERS REGISTRATION FEE!!!
johnmatrix replied to Marauder's topic in The Community Rugby League Forum
The £24 has made a few of my mates pack in, late in their 'careers' they've just wrapped it up. Me personally I was packing in anyways a bit too old now, however I'm still involved coaching. If I was younger I'd pay it cause I'd wanna play, but the benefits they were offering as regards the discounts on tickets/merch etc were pointless I wouldn't have em given if I'm honest -
Bring back the shoulder charge?
johnmatrix replied to Chris22's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
So if attackers can shoulder charge its never gone away. I'm in a minority that I'd allow the defender to shoulder charge. Any attack to the head should always and still be a cardable offence. But it'll never be brought back so why bother talking about it. Long live rugba league -

I think a big reset of the semi pro game is coming players over paid etc. Our local semi pro teams do absolutely nothing to engage with local amateur clubs. They've taken all the TV money and done nothing with it. They've small fan bases which are dwindling and most of our jnrs do not go and watch etc. They've been around for over 100yrs and done nothing to help the increase the rl family.

What are they meant to do? They're the guidelines as issued by the rfl Ignore them? Is it really that bad not getting food after a match? Most lads I have played with barely eat after a game, a cold sarnie. Its not the end of the world. Take your own could sarnie and eat if its that much of a deal. Also I'm not sure most clubs could accommodate 1 person per 100sqft in a changing room as per guidelines. What are clubs meant to do if you only have 2 changing rooms?

So the game struggles for volunteers now, so going to make people pay £30.....aye alright. Your pool of volunteers will shrink overnight. Getting players to pay subs and signing on fees now can be in some cases nigh on impossible getting them to shell out more money, can't see some paying that they'll just walk away.
