What position do you play?

Well am semi retired mate as really old at 37 and in a lot of pain! but often I played Back row but also fill in at Fullback, Centre and half if need be. Played for Fax u21s many years ago on the Wing. I just play wherever

As a fat front rower i have a different opinion on summer rugby A lot of the lads I have spoken to aint too keen on summer rugby but numbers playing the game in winter are seriously dwindling so something drastic was required. Wonder if many will dabble in the other code in winter or play for pennine league teams as that will be staying in winter.

I think you just have to give it a go. I understand why some do not want to change but I think you have also to look at the benefits. As I understand the season would run from Feb-October So doubt many would go to <the Kick and Clappers. It would not surprise me to see players and maybe clubs having a winter and summer side.

Let's not forget that the amateur game is about playing - not dragging crowds in at £2 a head. Sure it helps finance the game but that's not the main object.

What about the 2nd and 3rd teams if these clubs, will they stick with the Penine League in the winter? We could see players playing all year round.

We already do.

Get with the 21st century. Summer rugby is the way forward, I'm convinced of it. From what I'm hearing coming from the Siddal club, your not bound to play your fixtures on a saturday afternoon, so there are options available. I'm more than interested to see how it works out, and Leon, fat props are so not the 21st century mate !

Agreed Col. Yesterday was warmish but certainly not that Hot and I bet most Summer days would see a similar temperature. And I have played in 37 C with the pitch Freshly watered when playing in Bad Reichenhall once!! The players just need to drink plenty before, during and after the game. And in North Queensland the weather is slightly hotter than Costa del Calderdale!! Summer is the way forward-sure you may lose some to Cricket etc but the benefits for the team/club outweigh that in my opinion

Posted on wrong thread.
