I agree with Jacques, and our views have never changed. OK, there may be some decent folk in RU but I have never had anything other than condescention towards RL. We would be locked/ blocked and refused any chance of discussing RL on any RU forum. Sorry, this thread is rubbish and nothing to do with us. I have family in Kent, Wiltshire and Lincolnshire, hardly RL hotbeds, there is zero interest when I talk of League, quite simply, they think the game is inferior at all levels. It's Venus and Mars.
Most RU fans have no idea that the likes of Graham Steadman and Mike Ford are coaching them to tackle, looking at the crap on TV this weekend, a lot of work still needs to be done, or better still, not done.
Summer RL for juniors is a seperate debate and has not had chance to make a clear decision on its merits. We didn't want summer Super League but 18 seasons gone (and a few hundred million to players), we are still here.
Stop feeling inferior and promote our game. If you need proof of RU and it's merits, read Mike Rylance, The Forbidden Game, it will make your blood boil.
Once playing Union, lads would be persuaded to choose Union against League.
Do your poaching elswhere.
