jacobus Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Just indulge me please https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/yaxleyyaks/news/yaks-are-runners-up-in-the-summer-touch-league-2714760.html Interestingly a number of local community rugby league club players joined the competition and played during the weeks it was on. Looking at this as a positive that touch is helping with league but a negative as it was as a result of their senior fixtures over the weekend being off.

I think this may the wrong forum for fighting for RL's side. You're spot on though. Touch is RL without the tackling no matter how much you attempt to pathetically make the play the ball look like a ruck.

One would hope the Titans and RL clubs everywhere have plans in place to turn Touch and Tag players into regular fans of Tackle RL. That has been one of the themes of this whole thread. It will be slow going. We have to overturn 20-30 years of treating non-contact forms as totally separate entities. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one. I actually reffed at the last Euros (2018). Did France-Wales M30s, and a bit of Women's Open among a load of other games. It was also at Nottingham and a great event to be part of.

They did us like that a few times. i thought we got better as the weekend went on after being a bit of a rabble early. The old adage about completing sets applies just as much in tag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobus Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) interesting development https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/f21841c8-3f5d-11ed-b24d-96120f17513d?shareToken=aed78b7252baee484fd89c6ed71380ee Rugby Union clearly now feels that touch is a credible way to generate resource and is looking to take some of the momentum out of the RFL and England Touch joint partnership from earlier this year. The Touch Union having separate rules from FIT is going to be something that needs resolving down the line (as the piece says to be fair), but it will be interesting to see how this goes down at our club. We are a touch section that plays as part of a union club paying our subs into them. Will the club be looking to move more players our way Edited September 29, 2022 by jacobus 1 Yaxley Yaks - Come and play vets touch in CAMBS ORANGE and NAVY army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the club be looking to move more players our way Yes its me Cross Coder but this when League and Union should definitely be in it together promoting Touch/Tag as it adds much needed money in the League/Union clubs especially as adult playings are declining. Mind you the bad side of Touch in my experience is that it's become to combative and tactical these past 5 years and some times resembles a game of Netball and have seem 75% of my ex club leave as apart from knackered knees etc they don't find it fun it was Social Touch.

jacobus Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Thats a good point you make there. I find inter club competitions much better as the ball is chucked around and there is not so much structure in terms of running channels and high press defence (as we aren't fit enough to do it!) Some of the other stuff I have seen and been part of has been less fun based on really tactical and teams just mark each other out of the game. This leads to limited breaks of the line and low scoring. Yaxley Yaks - Come and play vets touch in CAMBS ORANGE and NAVY army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
