Damien Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It's quite surprising that the bookies have Cornwall at 10/1 to be promoted. Not hugely different than say Oldham that are 3rd favourites at 6/1: https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/keighley-favourites-league-one/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I respect Skolars work in North Laandaan, Hector McNeil worked harder than anyone to get them going. Cornwall will be just as hard a job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall are virtually starting from scratch. Have they even appointed a coach yet? And do they have any players signed on? If so, they're keeping very quiet about everything, and the season is starting very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle seem to be going in the right direction but failed as Gateshead. Without serious investment the future looks bleak outside the M62. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. Who pays the travel expenses? A split gate so not 8k. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did interview for coaches but once they found out how much it would roughly cost to get promoted (I believe 150k was the figure given at the time) the then Football club chairman just said no. That same chairmen was arrested for a “missing” 10 million of council Money showing Mr Rimmer once again did his due diligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't joined the dots that it was the same bloke! Magnificent. But, yes, my memory was they were all-in for a professional rugby league team with a lovely logo and everything ... right up until the moment somebody pointed out that things cost money.
