RL Record Keepers' Club data set for launch: can you help?

[Neil_Ormston]

This season the RL Record Keepers' Club will be making our first batch of data freely available to the public.  We've been working hard behind the scenes for nearly two years now, initially on the summer era, and now have full details of nearly 15,000 matches ready to share.  The final piece of the jigsaw is being worked on: keeping the information live and up-to-date each week, so that fans will have the full information on the British careers of all current players at their fingertips.

All work is undertaken voluntarily, and we want a volunteer to 'own' each club - ideally one they follow closely, but if we can't find one, we'll get people to 'adopt a club'.  This is where we need your help!  We still have a number of clubs with no dedicated expert, so if you follow one of these teams, we'd love to hear from you: Barrow, Batley, Bradford, London Broncos, Newcastle, Workington, York, Cornwall, London Skolars, Midlands and Rochdale.  Equally, if you would like to offer to help pick one of these up, please ping a reply here, drop me a DM or mail me at neil.ormston@gmail.com.

Inputting data will only take 5-10 minutes each game, and is very intuitive - full training / support is available, and you'll be able to join our community of RL stats loving folk.  So if that's your thing, please reach out.

We're be running the data 'behind closed doors for the first few months to make sure that everything runs smoothly, but keep an eye on our site at www.rugbyleaguerecords.com for when we go live.  This also has more information on the RKC, and you can sign up on the site too.

Thanks for reading.
