It’s classed as an away game for Scotland I know I’m pushing it but that area of Yorkshire has strong Scottish routes due to mining, many Scots moved their in the 80’s not that I’m saying they have any interest in a Scotland RL side, At least Scotland are playing an international that’s progress

Looking amazing mate, got a good feeling about Scottish RL, hopefully the momentum carries on over the coming years.
-
Scotland RL also looking at developing RL X League, planning to enter a couple of teams in this year's WC in Sheffield. Another good development tool in attracting people to the sport https://www.facebook.com/105717041307807/posts/196074598938717/

Hit the preverbial nail on the head, whilst I advocate for a Scottish team to enter the RL we must first build the experience, the legacy & interest. I would be more than happy over the coming 10 years for an established league of our own which may create player pathways for players to move south if they wish to. Playing in England is not the be all and end all. We can build on our links with Newcastle & would be nice to link in with a Cumbrian side

Unfortunately it's the way it is at the moment but no great deal. It's the best we can hope for with next to no funding. Just look at other sports it happens all the time, England RU Vinipola, Sam Underhill all non natives even George North was born in Kings Lynn The Kiwi's have plunderd the Pacific Islands for years.

Nice article on Scottish eligible players in SL https://www.scotlandrl.com/2021/03/25/super-league-preview/

Scotland RL posting loads archived games on their YouTube channel

Always thought Dundee would be a great place to get RL going, good uni population, Dundee were quite keen in getting a super 6 RU team up n running but SRU decided not to go down that route.
-
More positive movement on the RL team front, Aberdeen Warriors are resurrecting for the 2022 season and looking for players etc
-
Forth Valley accumulating 5 further sponsors over the past 7 days, not sure of the level of sponsorship but still an amazing feat by the team. Hopefully a fixture list will appear soon. No real news on if the other squads will be around for the new season Edinburgh have been posting on FB, Glasgow also on a couple of occasions, but no news from Strathmore or Fife. Hopefully the current situation hasn't forced them to collapse
