I love your optimism, what local talent would you sign up? Iāve seen very little in Allerdale who would improve us, a few in Copeland perhaps, but would you want to sign for Town in the current climate? I reckon we will have a team full of travellers next season, I just hope we can keep hold of Doran, Fitzy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town utd Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 The club must no how much they need to pay the players in league 1,and cut the cost from this season in the championship ,players will always play for town with the history the club has.also amateur players will strive to turn semi pro and get paid to play rugby league, it's up to the directors to drive the club and keep going,cumbrian rugby league always pulls together.Ā 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I canāt remember the last time IĀ saw a big powerful forward in the local amateur game, especially one that could step up to the pro game. they are like hens teeth, we just donāt seem to attract them to the sport. I wonder if itās the way the game has developed over the last 25 years as thereās very little difference between the forwards and backs these days, itās certainly changed game tactics as gone are the days that 2 heavy ball handling props and a wily hooker made up the front row!

Ā But then again just because a lad plays one position at amateur doesn't mean that's their best position if they turn pro. I mean look at Kyle Amor as an example, had a great SL career as a prop but played most of his amateur rugby at centre (even played centre for BARLA if I remember right). Look for potential first and foremost then mould them into a pro player, that's what good coaching does. 2 Iām not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town utd Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Cumbria shouldĀ have a split league, North Cumbria and South Cumbria leagues,then have a top 4 play off and bottom league play offs at end of season between the two leagues, would work if all the amateur clubs joined from the North west county leagues in the south and ncl leagues, be a great Cumbria set up,with limited travel expense until the play offs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town utd Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Maybe the cost of a bus Ā£600 every away trip,I don't no how the clubs raise the money, keep it local ,save and put the money back into the players and clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs left the Cumberland league for a reason,itās on its ar#e & they are the ones who do develop players through their youth teams,it would be a massive backwards step for those clubs to leave the NCL.

Town utd Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I think the clubs joined the ncl whenĀ all the clubs and area was very strong,maybe time to re group and build are area and game strong again.just my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
