fighting irish 1,445 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 I'm a (an ex-) fan of Cardiff Blue Dragons, Bridgend Blue Dragons, South Wales RL club, Celtic Crusaders (Bridgend), South Wales Scorpions and West Wales Raiders. Finally, the good people of Wales are building the game from the ground up. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is possibly the most profound observation on the subject of UK RL development in the history of making observations on the subject of UK RL development. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cumbrian Mackem 168 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 RL seemed more progressive back in the 80’s&90’s regrading expansion inside and outside of the heartlands. really miss the border raiders if I’m honest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc 300 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 Regularly went to watch Runcorn Highfield at Canal Street. Also watched them at Hoghton Road, St Helens Fc and Prescot Cables FC. Needless to say they didn't win many. When John Cogger turned up the team improved, but when he left for Oldham it all went to pot! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
