superten Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Should the 16 clubs in Yorkshire break away and form there own league ? One league of 16 no relegation . grand final at Elland Road .Bring back the county cup . Inter county test west yorks v the rest . Yorkshire has some big cities and some great stadiums. 8 1 Chief Crazy Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idrewthehaggis Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Absolutely. Bless you kid. Instead of taking the Michael, I will offer a creative critique. As no doubt numerous forumistas will point out the modern Game aspires a European wide sport than parochialism. Player concerns and costs would rule out this as an additional competition in the season. However I would offer a couple of possibilities. A Yorkshire Cup as a pre season trophy. Four weekends. Three challenge games (that incorporated the historic existing friendlies) A Floodlight Trophy league table and then 1v2 and so for a descending set of prizes. Option two. Use the reserves in a county based trophy. Discuss and be nice kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big cities, yes. Great stadiums, yes. However many of those that you can attribute to either of the above aren’t rugby league. Instead we have Featherstone, Wakefield’s ground and Hunslet’s athletics stadium. No offence to any of the aforementioned but I just don’t see the need in any of this.

Jughead Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I’m struggling to think of the great stadiums in Yorkshire, tbh. Hull FC and Doncaster’s are modern, is that “great”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 If the Yorkshire clubs did that we could have a Super League of: Wigan, Saints, Warrington, Salford, Catalans, Toulouse, Leigh, Barrow, Widnes, Newcastle as a ten team league. If you wanted 12 add in Whitehaven and London. I've just done that off current league positions but I wouldn't be against it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Idea - They could then call themselves the League 2 Yorkshire division and could sit back on a Friday night and just watch the best teams play live on Sky in the West of the Pennines St.Helens - The Home of Rugby Champions Saints Men's team - Triple Champions & Double Winners ; Saints Women's team - Treble Winners ; Thatto Heath - National Conference Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headtackle Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The way some of the Yorkshire teams have been playing a Yorkshire league could soon be a possibility it will retain its current name as The Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
