We lose Featherstone to RU ? Shudder at the thought. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=619793

Can we help ?

Certainly, you could explain your initial post to me.

Pardon me JINJER, could you please explain what it is you're failing to understand?

It's clear as day what Miro is getting at, either support our local team/schools or ignore the post.

Miro - I have signed and shared via social media and I'll apologise on behalf of the Wakefield board for the trouble you've had here.

I can't get the link to open so for me it isn't clear as day to me.

Featherstone High School has been taken over by one of those wretched academy chains. They are scrapping rugby league as a sport and replacing it with rugby union. Given the importance of the sport to history of the town as far as I'm concerned this is social engineering, there's online petition for all the good it will do: https://www.change.org/p/featherstone-s ... ion-school

Thanks Wakefieldwall.

Done.
Although it's difficult to know what the back story may be here, it's mind blowing to think that ANY school in Featherstone would be dropping RL from their school curriculum.

Cheers QwerkyCat.

I had no idea you couldn't open the link. Why didn't you say so ?

I just thought it was me being slack.

No worries mate, happy to help.

At a guess, this is probably down to the financial incentives and support offered by the RFU to any Schools that adopt and commit to Rugby Union as their mainstream sport.

I’ve no idea about the Head Principles background but it wouldn’t surprise me to find out they were from a more pro RU background. It wouldn’t be the first time in the Wakefield District that a new Head has tried this.

The trouble Miro had? Jeez, drama queen.
