gingerjon Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 Have any of these clubs been active this year? Interested in knowing the state of play for the tournament and the teams who committed to being in it. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Eddie Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 (edited) Part of the point of XIII is to give teams a chance to play as they have no opposition in their own country (Moldova, Belgium, Hungary at least, probably more) so those teams at least will probably not have been active. The Welsh, Scottish, Irish and English teams definitely have been, as have the Dutch and Czechs. Edited August 1 by Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's not a trick question, I've found a bit of a struggle to follow who's been doing what in the past year - and there has been activity in some surprising places so would be good to hear of other examples. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

thebrewxi Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 I was messaging the manager of the Jaguars yesterday. They have played a few matches (I was able to be at one), and would have played yesterday had the RFL not cancelled the West of England league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The east of England league is going on but I’m fairly sure they organise that themselves because the RFL weren’t doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrewxi Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 I got the impression the rfl werent really doing their job and no one knew what was going on. The West of England clubs, some of them, appear to have organised their own "plate" and "play off" matches independently from the rfl too. This sport I love, man! Drives me mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be more to it that that. You can’t arrange RL games without RFL sanctioning it or insurance is invalid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaguars have forfeited a number of their fixtures this year. The league was full of forfeited fixtures unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrewxi Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 (edited) That's not how they sell it. I'm not involved with them btw. I'll try and find out more but they told me they didn't know what was happening with the league. Edited August 1 by thebrewxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say started well. The Jaguars and oxford postponed a fixture due to covid, and they dont seem to have got going again. Has the league official been cancelled, or is it still going then missing the two teams? I did suggest to the jaguars that their view of what had happened was 100% opposite to what some people were putting on certain forums. And they might want to come out with some sort of statement.
