Stick around for a few weeks - you never know.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I might give refereeing a go in the first instance. Even if it doesn't work out and I can't handle the abuse from the sidelines, it may make me a little more humble the next time Bentham shows up at Odsal. There's a course at the start of February if anyone fancies it: http://www.therfl.co.uk/more/match_offi ... h_official If that doesn't work, I may drop Bulls4Champs a PM as I live in Pudsey and suspect I already may know one of the lads who fights for that club, so I have 'an in'

Try wheelchair rugby..we train every monday at 5 30 till 7 30 ish at bradford college, you will soon pick it up and enjoy it. One of our players comes from middleton after leaving the rhinos to go to a superior team...Plus we get to beat the rhinos every single time we play them.

Actually ! That really does appeal to me! In fact the only downside the occurs to me immediately would be getting to Bradford College from the White Rose Centre at that time of day. Do you mind if I drop you a PM to pick you brains a little more?

There is also tag rugby that a couple of us from here play at Morley rufc every Monday night 7-9, great for keeping your fitness up and a great bunch of lads. Good cross section of RL supporters and it's competitive without getting silly.

I can echo Northern Lad's post. Tag rugby up at Morley RUFC is very good. We welcome all standards and ages and we have total beginners and some that have scaled the heights of extremely minor amateur teams.

Through the summer there is also tag rugby at Apperley Bridge on Wednesday evenings from 7pm. On the pitches near the George and Dragon or by the Stansfield.
