One other thing.

I was scrolling through SM reels earlier and I saw a reel of a sports team using their big screen to show fans but with filters on them such as crying filters etc.

I thought it would be quite a fun and novel thing to do for some light entertainment now we have a big screen perhaps pre match and half time.

Assuming the technology is there to do something like that.

We don’t necessarily have to do exactly that but there will be little ideas like this that could enhance game day.

Ellis mentioned he'd like to do things like that at the Shareholder meeting.

I too am a Barnsley supporter, but ultimately RL is my sport, and have gone off football over the past 15-20 years or so, and because of that struggle to justify shelling out on further ticket fees.

I do think trying to expand and tapping into the community is a great idea.

One question I would ask though, is it played in the schools, thats where to get them engaged

The other interest area to Trinity could be just in to Kirklees , I'm thinking about the Clayton West , Scissett , Denby Dale and Skelmanthorpe area which again has easy access to Wakefield and about half an hours drive to Belle Vue .

I don't believe it's a Giants hotbed , then again the Giants don't really have a hotbed so it's fair game territory in my opinion .

If it's a Huddersfield postcode it will already be in their score.
I assume you can't overlap, just pitch to include a new area.

Wakefield have been involved with Emley, Newsome and surrounding areas for a few years now, had some cracking young lads down especially Emley

Well Flockton is out that way and it has a Wakefield postcode.not sure about those named

I grew up in Emley and went to school in Skelmanthorpe and can confirm it’s HD8. Both Wakey and Giants do bits of outreach round there but there are more Huddersfield fans just because that’s where people identify with. BLM is right - Wakefield do more work with Emley Moor and their juniors so benefit from that. But ultimately it’s not got the potential fanbase Barnsley has, for all the reasons outlined by others above.

It's not about where we can develop players.
It's about where we can prove we develop players and I assume supporters in areas not covered by a rugby team.

So Barnsley is fair game but Huddersfield or Kirklees isn't. We can get players from there but it won't count as our area as it is already allocated to Huddersfield or Batley/Dewsbury

Otherwise Leeds could say Wakefield area is theirs.

Can Wigan or Warrington claim Las Vegas?

Definitely so, it could pay for itself, and it would be good to see the club's name out there mixing it with the big boys. He seems the kind of guy who likes to be one step ahead of the competition, if possible as well.

If there were some prospects over the pond, I wonder how the RFL would handle their categorisation under quota rules because I can't see many clubs wasting their valuable spots on ifs and maybes. We've got to make it look enticing for all parties, to break new ground in RL and a huge potential player pool in the US.

They could maybe bring some kind of rules for potential US players to gain said traction over there where they initially don't count as quota players. Obviously, it's all pie in the sky atm, and the very early days but still, it's very interesting and a thing that's been brought up so many times over the years. How can we make use of all those thousands of top athletes who don't make the NFL or play elsewhere? Crack that and it's a huge game changer in England and Aus long term,

I know when Toronto was making their mark and talking a good game, they had some trialists come over etc but it was never done properly IMO, where they got guys trying out who had a real chance to succeed.

If they're new to RL then they wouldn't count on the quota anyway. We'd effectively be their first RL club so would be fed trained. Same applied to John Davetanivalu the other year, and Mitieli Vulikijapani at Hull.

Of course, simple really.
