| Quote thunderheed="thunderheed"I would disagree Starbug. I think the quota system is relevant whether those places are filled or not, and that is from someone whose team benefits from it. It is a contensious issue and I sympathise with teams that suffer because of it. One of the perceptions of Thunder is that we are "full" of Aussies, however the likes of Nash, McAlpine, Branighan etc have British/European passports and qualify to play for anyone and McBride has both a British passport and family in Gateshead which is why he came over.
I would love to see a team of North Easterners take to the field but as a region we have played professional rugby league for 10 years and are still building the infrastructure in the region. Much like Durham CCC it may be years before we are in a position where we can compete with the heartlands but we'll give it a damn good try.
Best of luck to all the teams in the relegation fight this year. It will be a nervous Sunday all round'"
And let's not forget 9 of the Thunder squad are from Newcastle/Gateshead, plus one southerner from County Durham. In terms of giving opportunities to genuinely local players I'd bet Thunder do as well as most clubs and better than a fair few. Isolated clubs like Thunder need a (very) few extra non-quota players simply because they have no surrounding established rugby league areas to draw from. If heartland clubs don't like it, they should have tried a bit harder in the intervening century or so to spread the greatest game past York. |

Probably the funniest RL-related video (well, sort of!) I have ever seen. The guy deserves a medal for that brilliance! |

Quote bowes="bowes"Looks like Leigh East is a malicious rumour, but this seems to say Bramley, Warrington Wizards and Carcassonne were being lined up although since Bramley haven't applied and don't have a suitable ground and since it would be reckless to A. have a French team in Championship 1 , B. it would be reckless to take another French team out of the French Elite at this stage, C. Championship 1 and French Elite are a similar standard and D. taking Bramley and Warrington Wizards out of RLCN would kill the league stone dead, without taking any expansion clubs up, so I hope the rumour is untrue
viewtopic.php? ... 1&start=15'"
isnt there to be a scottish or irish team supposed to be joining the semi-pro ranks next year? |

Actually with the closeness of the league this year, I almost said standard then.. I'd be tempted to only go one down this year. Draw up potential Ch1 candidates and offer funding for expansion areas, good funding, the RFL will make some money this year in the 4N, see what interest you can drum up. Just my 2c

Pure Genius!
Ironically (or may be not so) the footage is from a film called Downfall.
Sounds about right for Leigh. |
