I think it's sensible in regards to the expansion of the amateur game!
Quote ="Albion"I would have been interested in this, but I can't do Saturday mornings as I have other commitments with a junior RL team.'"
That's a shame, we'll be putting on weekly sessions after Christmas and could possibly hold a week night session, shall keep you posted! |

I Hope that is not what you mean!'"
What are you arguing about this time jaybs? 
Expansion anywhere is great news. Liverpool is a tough city to go to because they can't think past soccer. I hope this club do well. |

I live in south liverpool, not an awful long way from [ithe mystery[/i.
There's a number of successful rugby union clubs round there. Their minis' sections do prove very popular and I was talking to a guy through work about it, who freely admits he knows nothing about rugger, but takes his kids down.
There's an underlying "anti football" physce in a lot of communities that shouldn't be underestimated. Some people aren't convinced that they want their kids playing a sport that's championed by preening, diving, overpaid fannies who can't keep their chap in their pants. I certainly wouldn't.
It will still be a minority, but it doesn't mean there isn't space for RL. |

I was not arguing LOL if you read, I was unsure about the response from our friend from Liverpool City RL was agreeing expansion should only be in the North. Of course it is great to see expansion in Liverpool, I said when I was involved in Under 16 RL we used to meet at Huyton's RL ground in their board room, it was sad to see that club go as it is with many.
But clubs like Oxford RL have now been going for a long time with a great history www.pitchero.com/clubs/oxfordcavaliersrlfc/ any new club starting must be given every encouragement and especially from their nearest Super League team if they have one, I am sure they can help with better kit rates etc and by sending players along to training sessions. |

What league will this team be playing in?
I'd love to get involved and sign up next year. This will prob be my last year playing at the top amateur level.
I was going to drop down to 2nd team but it really appeals to me to join a new team looking to expand in non rugby city.

Wasn't saying saying no to expansion (I'm all for getting people playing it as a RFL staff member working within the community). I was saying it's sensible to expand the [uamateur[/u game [uin Liverpool[/u, as I think the quote I responded to mentioned expanding the professional game in the City.

It will just be the North West Merit League, fairly relaxed environment to introduce players to the competitive atmosphere of Rugby League. Remember Liverpool City RL is aimed at getting people based in Liverpool playing the game, we won't be pushing those players out of the starting 17 so that more experienced players (from out of the city) can play and get the win.
Offside Monkey - I totally agree with your point about Rugby Union, I think our, as in Rugby League's, main downfall is presence and promotion of the sport, clubs and ethics. I also believe there to be a gulf between Union and League within the City as well, most probably through tradition than anything else! But it's slowly being bridged! |
