As highlighted above,thats a very difficult age without a under 19's structure to accommodate him.
Something the UK game with trying to promote the game via SL lost contact with, along with other youth/reserve projects abandoned in the name of a specific TV broadcaster which in fairness saved the game but as now become the demise of the game.
We now have Clubs like Bradford,Halifax,Sheffield and even London who are all fighting to survive in the game,the list just continues. Wakefield are in turmoil with their ground and who knows what will happen with Salford!
You are a fan of a team that has money to burn,but the clubs above also had the same at some point.
Even we Leigh! Where gone at one point and the collection buckets were out!
Over the years we have seen things put in place restricting clubs from progressing in the name of expansion,the Super league door was closed for a decade to Championship.
The lower tiers have always been treated unfairly,be that by the governing body,TV broadcaster or expansion.
Welcome to Rugby League.'"
Well let's hope that the NA market can bring in some much needed money to the competition as the English game is in dire need of it with the new NRL wages. Also the money needs to be spread to all the divisions so there isn't such a massive quality gap between the tiers.
New to the sport and especially to the unique RFL fan viewpoints but I do have high hopes for the sport growing over in NA and don't think we will go the way of previous expansion efforts as we started from the bottom, have great corporate sponsorships and most importantly a passionate fan of the game with deep pockets.
Argyle isn't in this for the money and Perez is apparently on a mission from the founding father's of RL to ensure that the game gets the recognition it deserves.
I understand that a lot of fans are doubtful as they have seen this fail many times before but I will be positive and seeing as you are the team to beat next season I'll do my best to bust your guys chops!
If anyone is coming over for the game in Canada let me know as I'm planning on going the games against you, Toulouse and the home opener.
Cheers and may you finish a strong second!
