Wakefield continue to improve off the field, more ground upgrades submitted.

love the smart Wakefield logo/branding, jersey ok (their call)

Its satellite clubs like Wakefield, Castleford, Leigh (maybe Widnes) that hold to key to a missing ingredient for SL (NRL Europe), the season narrative

kudos to Hull KR, onwards and upwards

I don’t understand what you are saying about the satellite clubs?

 

[Coastbloke]

I was just having a look at the 2025 Castleford squad. How good is the diversity. 3 PNG born players, 2 Nigerian born players, a Frenchman etc. Not helping them on the ladder lol, but still, quite impressive..

all towns surrounded by much bigger towns/cities perhaps?

 

[RedVee]

all towns surrounded by much bigger towns/cities perhaps?

Yes but why do they hold the key for SL (NRL Europe) )

 

[Jonty]

Yes but why do they hold the key for SL (NRL Europe) )

NRL unwilling to invest in a small town team competition?

A lot of the old grounds had a clubhouse, bar during games and men's working club during the week. I believe its now just used for hospitality on game day, though its been 27 years since I was last at Belle Vue!
