Read about this move y'day Ridiculous!!!! all the points made are 100 % valid....even without these points, how could you imagine travelling such an enormous distance just for training!!! Some people think that if they say something will work then it will...even if it is mindless crap like this.... I'm Australian but have lived in England and kept an eye on most clubs and Hemel is special because it's from Hemel!!!!!!!!! Having a club from there is what counts.....even winning everything is secondary to that!!

Terrible decision by the powers that be at the Stags, just as Rugby League down south is starting grow, one of the pillars has been kicked away. Dewsbury using Hemel to develop their players, for their own club.........who will be the next southern club to sell out......Skolars, Oxford, All Golds....who knows? But one things for sure, with this sort of shortsighted thinking, Rugby League will continue to be a minirity sport in GB.

How is the game meant to grow if players cannot train at their local club whilst holding another job to pay the mortgage etc. KEEP HEMEL IN HEMEL!

Even for rugby league this is a crazy idea that can only lead to the demise of a club we can ill afford to lose

Hemel stags are a great little club and they should be kept where they are in Hemel and keep up the good work developing RL down there

Who came up with this preposterous idea? It is ludicrous to expect this marriage to work? Stop it! Now!

Have put this on our Saints Wigan Banter Page.Any fan of rugby league should sign this petition.It's totally wrong to expect any player travel 340 miles 3 times a week to train in an area that is nowhere near the club!Hope you get all the signatures you need #WarriorMissy #SWBP @saintswigan #twitter

It's ludicrous to suggest Hemel players train 170 miles away in Dewsbury?!Where is the sense in that?

Taking away hemel stags could have a huge negative effect on the amazing work they do for the local schools in the area.

It's healthy for the community to have a local focus , something that unites people and for youngsters to aspire to an achievable goal Please don't take this away
