indeed, and lets be honest, once an overseas player has come and settled then it hardly matters wether you are playing in Salford, St Helens, Huddersfield, Castleford or Hull, it's less than 2 hours from the furthest two points, and as much as there are differences between L**ds and the other towns, there's f'k all to chose between Wigan, Warrington, Bradford and Hull.
Same job, same expectations on more money, most people would go. (other than [isome[/i people from Hull, who seem unprepared to venture out of a HU post code for work)

Speaking as a former Leeds resident, I agree!
If it wasn't for the rugby, my family and my childhood friends, I wouldn't have moved back. There's not much going on here unfortunately. Whereas in Leeds, there's loads. And if you can't find anything, there's Cas, Bradford, Huddersfield etc on the doorstep.'"

The differences between Hull and Wigan/Warrington/Widnes/St Helens/Wigan/etc are that they are on the doorstep of a huge metropolitan city. Hull is the best place to go in a 60 mile radius.

Forget which is the best city, the answer is above!

Beverley is better for everything? Really!?
I'll give you York as better (not for everything though). Didn't realise how far away it was. So I'll change the radius to 38 miles. Basically you're looking 45 minutes driving before you get somewhere of note. Beverley isn't one if them.

I was going to question Beverley too. Nice place to live (some areas) but there are no cinema's, theatre's, no real shopping attractions, the nightlife is full of squaddies etc.
