wiganlad 20 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Will be interesting to see how he goes. Is he bringing any new players with him and are the lads from the south of the county playing again? Link to post Share on other sites
Big Doug 90 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think Thato, Hunslet, West Hull and Wath Brow will be there again. I fear for my club Mayfield this coming season. We lost several players to the pro game last season and so far have lost three more with a possible fourth for the coming season. Its going to be a long hard season to survive this time. We only just managed it last year. 1 I HAVE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN. BUT I HAVE WOKEN UP WITH A FEW Link to post Share on other sites

Great that lads that come through are getting picked up but the unfortunate knock on affect of this is a weaker AO side. Sure you'll still go alright this year. Link to post Share on other sites
Cumbria1 26 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Looking at Underbank yesterday are these dark horses for the league this year Link to post Share on other sites
usain bolt 100 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Maybe Underbank have lost the least players, and maybe gained some, all the others look like they've lost some, some more than others. Underbank defended like Trojans yesterday, and fully deserved the accolades afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites

That's what its all about, but once the players have stepped up to the pro game it gives other team members the opportunity to step up, and that always helped by having a good youth section, 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Think they'll definitely make top 4 - whether they have what it takes in the play off remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDuke 214 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 It’ll be tough for Underbank having played in the CC and playing in the 1895 Cup it will take its tole on the squad Hopefully it’s a good season ahead - good luck all Link to post Share on other sites
HarrogateKnights 649 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I am definitely interested to see how my local NCL team York Acorn get on, they are playing in 1895 cup and had a decent run in the Challenge cup so have some games under their belt going into the season.

Cumbria1 26 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Is It true a new league structure next year could see the NCL regionalised so a Cumbria, Lancashire & Yorkshire league then top 2 or 4 go into a play off from each league??? Link to post Share on other sites

How would the leagues be split up numbers wise? Having just looked Hull and Yorkshire plus Gateshead 28 teams Cumbria 7 teams Lancashire 14 teams Is it that straight forward, or would the playing strengths of some teams be a problem. Top end ncl prem now v bottom end ncl 3 is a big difference but same league due to region in a future format. Brow v Askam , Thatto v waterhead, Siddal v Gateshead?

Little no it all 110 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 If you make leagues regional it might stop local player movement which causes yo yo teams 3 Oldham teams would move east and be part of Huddersfield Halifax Batley & Dewsbury Local games every other week which players step up for cos it’s personal and means something touch lines full of people cos of local interest also creates a buzz in the towns Let’s say top 2 go to play offs with other leagues to prove who’s the best in country my club have committed to £6k on coach travel this year £3k of that could be spent on rugby stuff rather than a transport company only my thoughts but happy for others 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree I do not think it would work and could cause long term damage Premiership teams against Division Three teams too big a gap in standard. Personally think depending when we do restart keep the divisions as they are but rearrange the fixtures so games which are not local can be played on Saturday and if there are not enough Saturdays remaining play some local fixtures midweek Link to post Share on other sites

No, it isn't true. It will only be regionalised if the NCL clubs want it to be. On the other hand though, and depending when the lockdown is lifted, we might have to play a fairly short season, regionalised, to get the clubs back on their feet again and then start again for the 2021 season. I'm sure no club would like to face an £800 journey for their first fixture of the truncated competition, and this is where a short regionalised spell may take place. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
