Yorkshire Rugby

Personnaly didnt know him. But any sudden passing is a shock to all. On behalf of all at North Ribb can I pass on our sincere condolances to his loved ones and indeed those associated with him from the Rugby fraternity.

I think B  will be a tougher league overall in terms of not that much separating all the teams but then in league A I can see a couple of teams being dominant and and couple really struggling with 7 or 8 teams being 'mid table'

Obviously all depends on the depth of the second teams, some may start slow if they've a high level of rugby league players and then mid season onwards it will be injuries to not only that team but their first teams aswell that may effect them

Quote from: Grasser17 on Today at 07:27 PMWhich League has the overall stronger 2nd teams that will challenge the first teams more ? A or B ?

I would say A with North Ribb and Scarborough being the stand outs, wouldn't be at all surprised to see those two at the top.

Pock and Selby both finished above Scarborough.

Few recruits and keep last seasons team together. Pock will be up there

Quote from: Yari on Today at 05:37 PMIt certainly will be a challenging season for every club involved in R1NE and R1NW.

I have seen a couple of Scunthorpes good players have decided to keep playing National League rugby. I wonder if most of Hulls players will also be jumping ship.

It's not difficult to notice Ilkley, Scarborough and Driffield have been getting their cheque books out again.

Excuse me Sir, we don't have a cheque book. We have a Coutts Silk card......

Any early shouts? Who's got the luck of the draw?
