These are not the the acid tests of whether we're a football or ruby town. It's far easier to make it as a professional RL player than a professional fooball player based purely on the numbers of kids competing for professional contracts - plus the football and RL youth->pro routes are completely different. Also, rating the "strength" of a club is entirely subjective, especially rating the strength between two completely different sports. In each case you're comparing apples with oranges.
Neither of these are a reasonable measure of the statement "we are a football/rugby town" - and considering the original statement was relating to the number of kids we have playing the sport in the town - by simply counting the number of junior clubs playing league fooball/rugby, we get an idea of the number of kids playing the sports - and ultimately the interest
I wouldn't question the number of people playing the game the point I wanted to make was not regarding numbers of participants, I just don't like the phrase "we are a Football Town"...maybe I dived in a bit to quick...!!
However we are clearly not a "Football Town", we have No professional football Club, We have no affinity with a professional club, our biggest football club is watched by a few hundred fans. I've seen Amateur Rugby games have bigger crowds.
the Towns amateur Rugby Teams are Well established, well run and well known. I played football before I played rugby and I could name you one open age Saturday league football team without going to google.
anyway don't more people participate in Fishing than any other sport? maybe we are a fishing town. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

As an aside - if we win the Bev Risman Trophy in the middle 8's, will that make it to your signature biscuit?
You can't! ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

He had a very "average" game, & I am being kind.
Will Dagger was outstanding.
I think Warrington will regret not making Dagger a better offer, to retain his services.'"
All the tries are here - www.therhinos.co.uk/report-no-st ... os-u19-30/
Dagger looks absolutely electric. I really hope there's no substance to rumours he's leaving.

He will deserve it if he contributes to a winning performance.
Clearly he has never done this in the past and thus has never deserved to be in a final, i suspect that the same scenario will occur tomorrow.:30555.jpg |

| After a couple of really poor performances this was much better, i don't know player per player ages but for the most part of the game it looked like men against boys
I went to the game to see what was all the fuss about with Jack Walker and i came away disappointed, he looked flat and disinterested
Dagger was much better on the day but in regards of him leaving, i have heard he has a questionable attitude like when the going gets tough, he gets gone!
Can't see many more if any who will sign from this years group

Can't be long before he (Walker) gets another chance.
