THE National Community Rugby League initiative is rumbling on, as regular readers of League Express will be fully aware -not least because the Rugby Football League are providing updates on at least a weekly basis.
I’m satisfying myself, currently, on simply publicising in our pages information supplied by the RFL and, occasionally, from such as the British Amateur Rugby League Association. This is for two or three main reasons. Firstly, I broadly agree with the thrust of the proposals put forward by the RFL (although not, I have to say, necessarily with the timing – it might have been more prudent to set a date of March 2027 for any new structures to kick-start, rather than next spring, which can mean certain clubs or even leagues planning for one scenario are now faced with something rather different and imminent).
