welcome to the newest board on the site, please feel free to discuss all things about rl in ireland (and the wolfhounds)

HISTORY IS LITTERED WITH UNTHRUTH'S:

I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE IS NOT A HURRICANE ON IT'S WAY TO BRITAIN............MICHAEL FISH (BBC WEATHERMAN).

I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN..............BILL CLINTON (PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A).

OUR STADIUM WILL BE READY FOR THE 2010 SEASON................JOHN WILKINSON (SALFORD CHAIRMAN).

ARE PRIME EXAMPLES.........

Would Irish league clubs be able to develop with the support of another code? Not necessarily union, but there must be a non-compettitive advantage to teaming up with association footy?

i think that a link up with eirecom league teams would be a non starter, the union clubs in ireland are far more tolerant of league than they are over here. after all the first club dublin blues were born out of union.

c'mon you lepricorns :lol:

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

i dont think domestic football in NI or ROI is in any state to help anybody at the moment. football being played in the summer in the south would be a bit of a problem in terms of grounds/facilities.... but NI is crying out for a summer sport and the rfl and RLI are working towards a summer tournament at the minute in NI.
