Nero Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 It seems we're the only team who rates Holroyd, he's been out of favour at Widnes since he signed almost two years ago, Whitehaven have got him on loan & he still can't get a game??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it seems in Rugby League at the moment players are signed as cover as opposed to actually wanting the player as first choice . Must be frustrating for the players but equally for the fans who rate the player when He hardly ever gets a game . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Park SC Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Hanley Dawson announced on instagram he will be going back to the amateur game for good.

Interesting off season ahead That is a great shame, Skolars have been going for a long time, A 9 team league will just not work, just wait the RFL will introduce loop fixtures as they don’t have any imagination or desire to move the championship and League 1 forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town blue Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Unfortunately like this country rugby league in the lower divisions is broken. May be its time the championship clubs threatened to go it alone, separate from the super league and start a new league. How about playing in winter again with a break about Christmas time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best option for me, they should not be able to decide if your club survives or not just because your teams on a low. go **** yasell ya little **** gain NL1 then take ya **** out ya dads **** then speak proper rugby talk. you jameating little spotty ****...itchy waa waa 2008...

Anita Bath Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 24 game season, three games v each other team. Four teams would have to go twice to Cornwall…probable newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero confidence in anything the RFL run - absolute shambles the lot of them !! If the RFL have limited resources they should be working with clubs and leagues to help them develop their own programme, which includes part financing a development officer out of the community game player registration tax, you know the one where the RFL charge for a service which was previously provided free of charge by BARLA and came with promises to give the community game a load of benefits !! Absolute shower of s*i*e the lot of them ! I'm sure we are all of the same opinion on here in that the league one clubs will put forward their proposals, the RFL will ignore them and roll out a pointless round of extra fixtures, which no doubt will see Town and Newcastle travelling to Cornwall for the extra fixture and our home loop game will be against Midland Hurrricanes who will fetch a car full of supporters - absolute cloons !!

Even if the RFL had limited resources - they would give it to SL - instead of those who need it! I too unfortunately have zero confidence in anything the RFL run - absolute shambles the lot of them !! To avoid the unfairness of who plays who and who has worst travel fixtures etc??? Me personally I would play the other 8 home and away twice. Get some money in. L1 teams dont get more than 1 CC game[usually] and scrap the playoffs 2 up 2 down and no L1 player plays in internationals [usually] So 32 games is no worse than 70s/80s - 16 home games would be great- Get some money in. To use Saints as an example 26 league games, MW plus WCC thats 28 plus CC and play offs will end up more than 32 - They might not need that many because they get a good CF not just 15k.
