jroyales Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Heard on the grapevine that Swinton are in a financial mess. If that's the case and they go into administration they could be automatically relegated with Bradford. I can't see the RL making Swinton a special case. I hope I am wrong and Swinton are OK - let's get the hairnets down where they belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moorside roughyed Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Sad to hear about swintons problems, I for one hope they can sort their predicament out.I know that we're all rivals but I'm sure we'd be worse off without these rivalries. Could you imagine no more roughyeds v hornets, no neither can I.The game needs to preserve our clubs and their individual heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banter has been good all season with the nets, I have a pal that supports them and if we both follow the rules of engagement it's fine. I.e no blatant abuse of the team on the wrong end of the result. That said we owe them a after a loss and a draw this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroyales Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 You mustn't have been watching many of the Yed's games when we have been the better team and poor refereeing, the bounce of the ball, the ball hitting a post (Halifax) and bouncing into a players hands to go onto score, etc.etc.etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 On the news this morning (Thursday) that Swinton ARE in real trouble and the supporters are trying to put a package together so as to save the club. What a tragedy if the Lions folded at the expense of Toronto, Toulouse, Catalan and anybody else the RFL can get into sooperdooper league. I am sure they RL won't jump in as quick as they did to save Bradford! Surely, the time has come when we let sooperdooper league go its own way with Sky and the rest of true Rugby League set itself up with its own competitions and sponsors.

Normally the best team will have had more ball, better field positions etc. Most of the time in Rugby League those two factors alone are crucial. That's what make League such a great game, you can't " Park the bus " as they say in football and get everybody behind the ball and play for a draw or a lucky break away goal.

I share your views on Swinton and the possibility of a famous old club going out of business. When I first started watching they were one of the very top sides and Station Road a great venue. Wether forming a break away competition is a goer I just don't know. How much sponsorship such a league or leagues would be able to command is very much in doubt. I've no delusions of Super League grandeur for my club but I suspect one or two in our league still have pipe dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how exactly are those 3 teams responsible? With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheddingswasus Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 BR - I think the real discussion (and this is a massive debate) is that Rugby League in the heartlands has suffered due to the RFL expansion policy. it seems they would rather artificially create new clubs in random locations around the country than work with traditional areas. I don't have a problem withe the French or Canadian clubs, indeed, the French Clubs could be classed as traditional areas. I worry that the lack of effort made with the traditional clubs is having a drastic effect on the game in general. The heartlands are where the majority of clubs get their players from. If these clubs continue to decline as they are, then this impacts on the junior teams within these towns and areas. We can see this from our town as a good example. The junior set up in Oldham was immense, at one stage we had three clubs in the NCL premier league. These clubs had two or three open age teams and a youth set up behind them. In addition we had plenty of lower league teams giving a lot more players a match. Now we have three main teams struggling to get just one teams out each week, and three lower tier clubs. Interest is dying. As Oldham RLFC has struggled this has reflected on the Junior Clubs The wild expansion policy of the RFL at the expense of the heartlands has caused big problems. I haven't got answers, but truly the RFL need to invest more time and resource and sorting the problems in the heartlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
