I could well be. Unlike Schoey i am impressed by the standard of the womens game though.

Looking at the Cas website they dont. Its hardly mentioned. We have more articles on womens team than our mens. Its madness.

Congratulations to the Womens' team. Great result some real resilience very similar to the Golden Generation when you knew we could always turn a result around. Our womens' team demonstrated that they have confidence in each other to keep digging in and get a result. the powers that be need to provide some function to celebrate their achiievements this season. Would like to see more games at HQ prior to a SL game. Or should we now be saying the SL team could play as a cutain raiser to the WSL games. Currently the women are more entertaining than the mens' team. Well done ladies!!

Absolutely, if it attracts people (boys, girls, men, women) to the game, whether that is to play or watch, or from a corporate point of view it has to be a good thing for the game as a whole and the Rhinos in particular. It would make no sense to separate them from the men's teams.

Women's sport as a whole is flying at the moment, RL, football, cricket, netball, it has to be good for the respective sports futures, and importantly getting kids away from their phones / ipads and participating.

I thought they were outstanding from 1-17 & the resolve they showed after going 8 nil down & off the back of errors & a p!$h ref was a credit to them & the Club.
Lets not also forget the likes of Beevers & Goldthorpe are still kids they were missing their capt in Louis Forssell & still came from behind to get the deserved win.
I thought Hill was Excellent but Butcher was top class as her HB partner & Oldroyd off the bench smashed anything & everything in Cas colours.
Lumb reminded me of Francis Meli & Hill destroyed her with her superb kicking game.
Would have loved it to have been played over here but hopefully they get a lap of honour on Boxing day & the first home SL game of 2020.
I also think they deserve much more credit & exposure as a Team & for RL they are shining the light on Womens RL & deserve all their plaudits & more.

I think it’s great the women’s team and the women’s game is getting more exposure. Any exposure for RL is good and it’s surely a way of getting lots more people participating and more closely tied to the sport including sponsors and commercial partners.

It was great to see the commitment, effort and passion from both sides in the game.

However I don’t think we should go overboard on labelling it as high skill levels. It’s not currently. That’s not being denigrating to the women, not at all, they’re amateurs. However we shouldn’t patronise them either by pretending the skill level is higher than it currently is. Comments such as they’re the best kicker in the club and the club could learn from them are frankly nonsense. It’s akin to a fan muttering “I can do better than that” at a game but actually meaning it. There’s nothing at all wrong with the skill levels being where they are because they’re amateur but that doesn’t mean they’re high. With the increased focus and effort from clubs and the sport as a whole I’m sure the quality will quickly increase.

Again this is not criticism of the women’s game or of any of the players, it’s just I’ve seen lots of comments on here and on social media saying how high the quality is and I disagree on that. It’s high for amateur players, it’s not high full stop.

The same can be said currently for the mens SL.

Agreed!
