I know the club have tried things like this in the past. It's just never really seemed to have clicked

I'm intrigued at this response, the game should be accessible to all, regardless of race or gender - welcome to 2019 by the way!

I'd say no too. Whilst I would love all of Rugby League to tap into the significant asian communities in West Yorkshire, I think it would be futile.

Barriers to going to watch soccer could be the fear of racism but that's a brush that particular sport is tarnished with. The reason for not coming to watch Rugby is probably just apathy.

Ikram Butt has worked his whole life to get South Asian communities playing and watching rugby (either code) but you'd have to say the indifferent results speak for themselves.
