Quote ="John Charnock"At least they are asking questions, which has got to be better than pretending the game doesn't exist. (Knowing that Offiah used to play for Wigan also indicates that the local in question knew a little about RL - I'd be struggling to name any club any RU player ever played for, except that I remember David Watkins came from Newport and Keith Fielding from Coventry).'"
Well thats true but I did get a lot of union this, union that guff. They are certainly bitter at how the Celtic Warriors Union side was axed out the blue in 2004. I think the RFL missed a trick though by not having a big launch night for the club. Unlike previous franchises this side played it's first two games away from home. They should have started with a big televised launch night at home like Catalans did against Wigan.
