I’ve only just noticed his beard makes two Ws

Like that a lot. Glad they have the actual foundation year and not 1895 that some clubs insist on using

I was expecting these games to be played at Fev, Cas and Wakey

I’d have thought they might play it at Huddersfield (Hudds Towns stadium not Dewsbury). I know Oakwell is slightly closer but Huddersfield is a more modern venue. Has it been confirmed it happening in England anyway?

Wigan and Saints have been the last 8 grand finals. A new team winning it and the fact neither have won the league championship in a generation are enough just to sell it out

Always thought Midlands was a strange choice. As bad as Northern Supercharges

Longest waits between titles for both clubs in a final? Wakefield haven’t won the league championship for 58 years, Warrington are waiting 71 years.

And all becasue of dewsbury rams

A lot of the time sponsors want their logo as is which is why you see a lot of bad integration on kits (I’m sure there’s a better way of keeping a company logo without having it in a white box). When Chevrolet sponsored Manchester United, the club and Adidas were keen on using the wording ‘Chevrolet’ on the shirt rather than the bowtie but Chevrolet wanted the bowtie and since they were paying £millions in sponsorship adidas and Man U bowed to them

Only got 4 more years of oxen

Does anyone know where I can find league tables for the Yorkshire Mens League pre 2017 (RFL website only has tables from 2018 onwards) and the old Rugby league conference?

This is a long season for amateurs. Starting in February and finishing in October. There’s pretty much been a break in August with the drought and players going on holiday it must be hard to come back for the last couple months

I’m always surprised more union clubs don’t run a league team in the summer. In Yorkshire I think there’s only Moortown that have a league team (Harrogate Hawks play out of Knaresborough RUFC but I’m not sure how much the union club is involved). Surely it’s more money behind the bar and into the club during the union off season.

Would it not have just made sense to have a 12 team Yorkshire Conference? They added Newsome, Fryston, Siddal A, King Cross Park and Kippax from the YML Prem and Dudley Hill, Kippax and Moldgreen from YML Division 1.

Unless both YML Grand finalists get promoted (which would undermine winning the GF). I’m a bit confirmed as to why there two Yorkshire conferences to begin with.
