Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

I’ll go back to my post if a few weeks ago
Jon Luke Kirby at Huddersfield
Ben Kilner at Wigan
Both Wakefield lads
Both 6’5” 112kg
Both 22 years old
Both would bring size, athleticism & enthusiasm
Both have come through outstanding Academy’s
Both would probably be season loans
Neither would cost a lot
Neither would be on any quota

Quote ="financialtimes"There is definitely an element of financial enticement to these clubs, I have heard some of the numbers the likes of Wigan and Warrington will pay and it’s way over what we would offer to an 18/19 year old, Leeds & Huddersfield take a more sensible approach financially, but do offer other enticements

I do know Wigan do not offer big money as they tend to rely on lads wanting to join them and the system for the right reasons. Obviously there are exceptions though.
As I mentioned earlier a big part of their decision (in their minds) tends to be if they don’t make it at a Wigan, Saints or Leeds they will have another crack at another club which does tend to happen fairly regularly.
The feeling is if they go to Wakefield and others and don’t make it then their SL ambitions are finished.
Obviously there is the argument that it may be harder to break into a team regularly expected to compete for trophies but difficult to say that to a lad who is brimming with confidence and is a big fish in a small pond in the junior game.
A couple of lads I know who are massive Cas fans and have parents involved at Cas signed with Leeds 2 years ago because they felt their system was superior and it would give them the best crack at SL with that security blanket of another club coming in for them if they don’t make the cut. Both have just left Leeds and signed for Cas. |
