And Smallworth started the sharks what 16/17 years ago? And still nowhere closer to being built

Truro City’s ground is currently being built on the same site, and rumours are they could be back in Truro as soon as August 2024

Original idea was Cornish pirates aka Penzance newlyn would move there as the main tenant and Truro city would be secondary. Even Cornish sharks American football team under Brian Smallworth were in the running to use it 

That’s not quite true about the Sharks, them along with Cornish Rebels amateur RL where invited to meetings around the Cornish Pirates vision for S4C and both the Sharks and Rebels would of been offered use of the community pitch that was planned to be on the site.

Yes at different stages of the year with different playing personnel.

As the year went on Cornwall recruited from Super League and also took loans and DR players from other Champ/ L1 clubs and managed to win six l1 games knocking off North Wales on their own patch also who went on to make the Grand final.

Hornets season was over by the time they travelled to Cornwall and the team sheet reflected that.

Name one player Cornwall recruited from Super League, and Cornwall had no DR agreement in 2023. Whilst Hornets had a large number of DR and loans from Leigh, Widnes and Sheffield throughout the season. 
 

Former SL winner Aaron Smith in the hornets side in the game at Cornwall. 
 

My guess is the hornets side that day was the only fit team they had available, made very apparent by their failure to name an 18th man.
