Eddie Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The Eagles have partnered up with the Ukrainian RL, looks like a great initiative. While acknowledging that it’s time consuming and costly, I’d love to see more of this sort of stuff. https://www.sheffieldeagles.com/Eagles-News/article/eagles-become-ukraine-super-league-partner/?fbclid=IwAR1rOobq2cZf0YzvMxUN3raKBZuKyf1hhkpVWtLo_QoaWoqn-JNqUu53izw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 And for those of you fluent in Ukrainian. Looks like Leeds, Hudds, Cas, York and Wakey are also involved http://rugby13.org.ua/?p=9852 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine Super League is a project of the Ukrainian Rugby League, which in 2018 reorganized the national championship of 10 teams into 5 regional national teams, uniting them under the brands of well-known English rugby club partner clubs. The aim of the project is to increase the efficiency of popularization of our sport, improve the quality of team play and improve the organization of rugby league competitions in Ukraine. In August 2018, UFRL President Artur Martirosyan together with 8 players of the national team of Ukraine was in Sheffield (England) at the famous rugby club Sheffield Eagles to prepare the team for the qualifying matches of the 2021 Rugby World Cup. Continuing this friendly relationship, Sheffield Eagles decided to become partners of the UFRL project. The team from Khmelnytskyi, Khmelnytskyi Eagles, became a partner club of Sheffield Eagles in Ukraine. We wish success to Ukraine Super League and its teams in 2021, and we hope to see even more bright and high-quality rugby league in our country! More information about Ukraine Super League and rugby league in Ukraine can be found in the following media resources: Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

cookey Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Another useful initiative. It seems that all such ideas come from the newer clubs,rarely from established clubs or the RFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably part of the rebuilding work to make it a 40,000 all seater stadium, retractable roof and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair all five clubs involved are well established, even Sheffield the newest have been going for 35 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langpark Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It sounds like good news, but there doesn't seem to be much substance in the article. It gives vague explanations like Sheffield providing "support" and "advice". I would love to know what that actually means in practical terms.

Like getting Toulouse into the European Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting irish Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 People here are always banging on about Australia's lukewarm attitude to International Rugby League but we treat the French in exactly the same way. Bring Toulouse into the fold and lets move towards a European State of Origin series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inclusion of more French teams further legitimises the European Super League tag too. Who knows, even further down the line, we might have Red Star Belgrade and others.
