Rugby League in Northampton

[Robert Burns]

Never fancied doing some union in your off season 4EB?

I simply wouldn't feel comfortable managing a contested scrum. Too much responsibility with too little knowledge, and I have similar feelings about the breakdown.

It doesn't stop most of us!

You'd be trained well enough, and with the amount you've read on here you're virtually there anyway.

Should do it as a forum challenge 4EB doing a union course and someone doing a league one (I'd do the union one but struggle with League scrums)

As for Rugby League in Northampton I think it will do ok, the problem with the previous expansions has been that there had been no quality grassroots laid down. Now a few players from the Northampton area and surrounds are starting to flourish the area can use a semi professional club. The club will go into Championship 1 which wont need that many resources I can't wait for my first trip there

I'm sure if/when they change to Summer Season there will be quite a few!

So what could a union ref take from reffing league during the summer?

Management apparently.

Keeps the fitness up, same as a lot of teams and players do in the Summer Conference competition
