I knew you wasn't a fan of TTG, and i thought you was a fumbleball fan, but 100% i knew you wasn't one of us. I could feel myself losing brain cells just reading that. BTW, though I am neither a RU or Aussie Rules fan, this sort of gate keeping is a great way to turn potential fans away… Edited June 3, 2022 by The Great Dane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yipyee Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 8 hours ago, RugbyLeagueGeek said: In point of fact, it is part of the RFL's constitution. See here: "The objects of the Rugby Football League as set out in Constitution are: (a) to foster, govern, develop, organise and manage the Game, in respect of all age groups, at all levels and for both sexes, in Great Britain and Ireland;" Rugby League (rugby-league.com) And here is whats wrong with rugby league if this is true. No wonder why the game in Scotland is a joke. Not sure that the RFL are in charge of the Welsh or Irish game. Infact the touring GB squad was ran by England and had no other nations (with the exception of a few convicts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canberra has some really nice places but even in Oz is classed as a boring place to live with not a lot going for it. If your classing the North of England as places like Cheshire, York, the Dale's, the lakes etc then your miles off. Just because you play for a team doesn't mean you have to live in that town - its like saying if you signed for say Paramatta, Newcastle, Souths etc you would have to live in the same rough areas as the team is based- no RL player on good money would live in say Paramatta - awfully place.

Money may well talk but at heart Regan is an Rl player. Whatever he chooses I wish him well. I wish him well too. He's a great (kid) fella. I just don't want him to regret his decision. Life's too precious to make huge mistakes. He's a great player but the nature of their game is such that he will have very few opportunities to display his worth and boredom is likely to set in. He will not be able (without the ball) to bring his abilities to bear and overcome any ill luck, that may befall him. If he is unlucky in the early days and things don't go immediately in his favour, they will quickly brand him as a failure and leave him languishing in the reserves, until his spirit is broken. He doesn't deserve that. He's a player who thrives on having the ball in his hands, with a little room to run. I've complained that even Saints haven't provided him with enough passes to let him truly shine. He'll get far less on the dark side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
