Yes

in response to previous comments here, you have used an example of the ONLY thing that is as expensive here as in London... Beer!!

In my local in Normanton (between Castleford and Wakefield) I pay £1.80 a pint of Carling

go 5 miles west into Wakefield, and it's £3+

Peroni up here, even in our small city can touch £4

Would love to know the price of a terraced house in Castleford, compared to one in London>

I think it will be a lot more in London, and a lot more than a pint of Carling!

According to zoopla, average property price in Castleford around £120k. Average in Twickenham £556k.
I make the difference a bit more than 10%.......

Ooh give over with the price of a pint and price of a house.
it is what it is.
big difference, leeds based player signs for widnes , he can stay in family home and commute.
to play for london means upping sticks and moving 200plus miles, moving family and kids etc.
irrelevant of how much a pint is going to cost, convincing a player with family to move when quite possibly they have 2 maybe 3 seasons down south and then have to go back up is never gonna be easy, hence our difficulty in recruitment.
Aussie imports sightly different, have mates in aus who drive 3 hours to the shop.
