DlEHARD Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 That was a real anti climax and a disappointment. Hope they can get something off the ground. Doesn't look like 13s are involved. Perhaps we will see some clubs return to the USARL at the AGM. DIEHARD / TITAN / MAROON / KANGAROO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is the case and USARL get some good new leadership in charge and can pick up the pieces when this inevitably withers on the vine. Hopefully Boston, Brooklyn, White Plains/Freedom and a couple of others return and start building again. Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

Shirts werent as bad but socks were big too.. the adults team bought loads of the 7-11 socks as spares off parents who were mightily annoyed (understatement).. hoodies etc which are meant to be off the shelf are often on long lead times.. (apparently the club was under the impression they were UK made and therefore on a better turnaround... they are not.. they were also expecting larger stock holdings the two put together are causing real issues and its a bad look for the club and lots of lost revenue) they really struggled to set the website properly for kits which were a pre order.. they kept going "out of stock" in sizes even though it was a pre order they just couldnt get the site to be set up with limitless stock (or frankly put a limit on of 9999999 if need be surely!! even our free work retail site can do this ffs!). I have ordered things off the site for my son and myself (as a coach) twice and both times there has been an issue and I have had to chase on both occasions, they're not great at getting back to you either. I know people have an issue with Oxen but I would not recommend this lot to anyone! On the flip, VX3 supply Wales RL and I’ve bought a good handful of things from them… aside from a slightly tight medium vest (definitely go up a size) everything has been good quality and good service.

The question for me is why are we building a pro tier without the grassroots foundations? Makes no sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
