I go with Beachy with this. Too many clubs are struggling to get one team together let alone two or three. Unfortunately over the last few seasons the quality of rugby has certainly suffered as a result. Clubs are fortunate just to put fifteen players on the park most weeks and that's the home fixtures!. Gone are the days of the coal mine mentality where you could just clock in and get paid.
Rugby League has historically been Castleford's biggest challenge for players as is the same with most West Yorkshire Union clubs but the RL is having similar issues as you might expect and the quality of RL at the moment in the Amateur game is miles behind where it was just three years ago. Changing League seasons to stifle each others start or finish is something both codes need to be concerned with, particularly RL, who will do anything to interrupt the start of the union season
With regards to the Northern RFU document that was sent out to clubs last month. `Game on Principles` how relevant was Wibsey only having nine available players in lieu of ten? Has any club thus far implemented the suggestion?
