Wasn't  SRL planning on entering a club in the Betfred League One?

Never heard of that one, might have been mentioned as a future possibility but no definitive plan currently.

Can’t remember a Scottish side allegedly joining League One but certainly remember vague claims by Red Star Belgrade, Dublin, Valencia and New York. Toronto’s brief relationship with rugby league certainly brought out life’s dreamers, it seems.

After last year's world cup, from memory they were suggesting a club. I remember it was discussed on Total forum

Red Star expressed an interest, looked into it and decided against it - what’s wrong with that?

You said they were life’s dreamers.

I did. That isn’t saying that there was anything wrong with what anyone did or said when expressing an interest post-Toronto’s inclusion.

Ok mate, whatever you say

[2blackrooks]

A Scottish club with proper financial backing and time to build could be competitive in league 1 but we would be better investing in our 16-17-18 year olds bringing them on and trying to get partnerships/pathways with with Cumbrian clubs and Newcastle, placing them there for game time and building a future crop from there,

No, no, whatever you say pettle. People with dreams, eh? Shouldn’t be allowed them. That what you wanted?

That’s what you were saying, yes, unless your sneering about Valencia and NY over the years has been in jest and you actually admired their ambition.

I think it was covered by Edinburgh (?) as one of their long term ambitions when selling things they may or may not have been ownership share. Definitely not something in the works for now (or then).

It really wasn’t but hey, I can’t be bothered to lower myself for this so yeah, make what you want of it.

This lad has the potential to be a big star. Was tearing it up for Coventry Bears last year at only 17.

So it begins Aberdeen withdrawl from this year’s competition citing lack of finances to complete the season

Also having concerns of the governance of the game in Scotland but are working with RL Scotland to address this 

They may enter a team in this years cup competition 

They are not going away but concerns are raised with SRL 

Not great new but read there FB page for a more in-depth report 

[langpark]

I am a bit confused. Has there been some sort of a rift in Scotland? I saw there were multiple resignations from SRL a few weeks ago. And why is there now a separate page (RL in Scotland) as well as the SRL page?

[langpark]

PS: I was referring to this announcement:

 

 

[2blackrooks]

I’m unsure on the politics but SRL have appointed a new club liaison officer 

meantime Glasgow take in Forth Valley this weekend 27th KO 2pm Cambuslang RU

Kudos to them for sticking at it.
 4 games is hard to develop any cohesion.

link to the RL show, showcasing the up and coming game between Glasgow and Forth Valley 

[2blackrooks]

Not sure where the link disappeared to above but Rugby league in Scotland ytube channel have some good content on the clubs, also Rugby League World are running a piece on Edinburgh Eagles so plenty of recent media focusing on the game up here 

[MZH]

Glasgow 6 - 52 Forth Valley

Great result for the Vikings. I definitely think we will close the gap to Edinburgh this season, although they are still the benchmark up here.

[2blackrooks]

Busy week in terms of Scotland RL apart from the premiership kicking off, Rd1 of the wheelchair championship started with Dundee taking the lead with 2 wins Edinburgh winning against Glasgow who have yet to win though ran Edinburgh close. June 24th see the 3 teams face off again in Rd 2 in Dundee
