If people actually WATCH the sport, then they will start to understand it.
Totally agree on the rugby, My passion is league but I watch union a fair bit and don't mind it, yes its slower than league and its stop start, but overall its ok, as for football well cant agree there, it really is up its own arris, but everybody to there own
once a black and white always a black and white COYH

RU is no slower than RL, both sports have learnt a lot from each other. My only issue with Football is the money involved, but then I don't think RL players are worth what some of them get paid either.
Several of the players on show today have played both League & Union, yes they are different codes & yes League is far the better spectacle BUT the skills, especially in the backs are pretty transferable. Good to have all the links open IMO.

Just got back from Springhead, a game we’re we really dominated against a very young Wakey side who to their credit never gave in, and showed some great spirit, don’t quote me on the score as there was no board, and the programs had sold out. Around 46-10 in our favour.
Maloudi looked sharp and controlled the game in the last 30min. Think Langtree looked outstanding, and Levi made some damaging runs using his frame to good effect. Beniek is a giant of a man and he looks in top condition. Tuli played on the wing and looked fit as well. What a shame more clubs are not getting involved at this level, it’s the obvious stepping stone to the first team, good crowd as well around 200 maybe more.

The problem is in its present form its a waste of time. The previous game was played against an all amateur opposition and as you say this one played against a very young Wakefield team. Hull had a strong side out and it needs much better opposition to gauge our reserve players performances. May as well just play local amateur sides until this reserve team mess is sorted out by the RFL.

Your right bonaire, but it seems some of the big fish, are not prepared to invest in A team footy, and although Wakey gave it a go, they must also struggle to raise a team, considering all the kids that played. Maybe there isn’t enough players to go round after all. Shame really.
