The club should stay in the community that it has built its history with and not 170 miles away

We have heartland teams, the rfl should help expansion outside the heartlands, but START in the UK!

So Bob Brown continues to make money from Home Games (or maybe not as they would all be "foreign" not local players. Who would pay to send every Hemel based player 370 miles for training, 3 times per week? I bet it won't be Brown! I'll bet the Council won't be too pleased with this so called arrangement. Maybe i'll ask them .

Expand or die. Learned in Loughborough, honed in Nottingham, play in Gateshead. This idea is a travesty.

Do NOT link Hemel Stags with Dewsbury Rams! They are a southern based club representing local rugby league talent in London & surrounding areas. They are not a Yorkshire club & should NOT be subjected to this ridiculous idea! We will lose any young RL players in the south if this goes ahead. Whoever dreamt this up is trying to ruin & kill off our sport in the south.

It would appear personal relationships between higher powers and professional relationships have become confused. When you read between the lines it would appear the players are having the blame put on them for what's been happening, leading to a decision which moves the base 170 miles away to outsource players. Sometimes internal change is the best first step...cut away the real dead wood.

There is so much talent in the south and if the club move to Dewsbury it will kill the game in that area. Considering Hemel have produced players such as Dan Sargenson, Kieran Dixon, Jamie Acton to name a few. Let's keep it local
