Miners and East are productive lines to first teams. Having 10 in Newcastle with only one prominent team will be difficult. The eyes will be watching.
I doubt very much the caliber of the 10 meet the standards of Rangers and East. But time will tell.
Your being wound up but of course you know that.
Everyone holds out great hopes for Newcastle RLFC but even a multi-millionaire can't develop quality RL players if the conditions are not right.
Leigh are a valuable part of the dyed in the wool RL area of Lancashire, and have been for many years.
Newcastle set out to create a new Rugby League stronghold and a superleague club as long ago as 1999.
Leigh has been a stronghold since 1878........................
Playing with stats is easy. Fact is the number of RL fans and RL players per head of population in Leigh is massively much much bigger than in Newcastle and always will be.
