This is superb stuff, and the new board sounds excellent.

True, but I'm guessing that the clubs have had to come together and act in the absence of any action by the RFL. Surely it's the governing body's responsibility to lead on representative teams.

Reading some things on this it was the Jamaica team management who set this in motion by directly contacting the clubs (or someone involved in Cumbria RL), so it looks likely you are right, the RFL had sod all to do with it.

Is it the RFL's job to find opponents for other international teams?

This should also help Workington Town out as well who are on the verge of going under, so money from the bar etc will be invaluable.

Just a few years ago I remember bucket collections at town at most home games to help Bradford after the UK RL community all pitched in to help - however as Town and Cumbria isn't in that M62 club it looks like the county has had to sort this and help town out themselves. 

 

Hope they get a big crowd - especially since they lost their WC games- even though Derwent Park is a better ground and far better and bigger pitch than it was for the 2013 WC and that amazing 4 nations game between Scotland and New Zealand.

I`ve been trying to find my programme from the Garry Purdham game but cant find the bloody thing. That was a superb day, great game too.

Cant argue with any of that, Cresta will/should be coach, I hope he pulls in a couple of the younger lads from the clubs to the squad along with the seniors too, someone like Malik Steele at Town.

All money made will be split between the 3 clubs or go to somewhere else, town won't just get to keep it all
