Huddersfield-Sheffield,Gateshead-Hull,Totally different to Sheffield/Doncaster type merger,This would not only benefit those two but the whole of south Yorkshire to come together as one,Why would Gateshead cometogether with Hull when it's miles apart same as Huddersfield,So if the south yorkshire kids are only good enough for Championship or Championship 1 we should not bother applying for super league as the Eagles in a few years time then?

I think it would encourage youngsters to actually better themselves and get more to play the game,The lure of the super league and the extra cash (which always helps) or playing part-time in a one man and his dog league,The choice would be theres.

Look at the state of Cumbrian rugby now all in CC1,There should and only ever be two mergers to try and get in super league,Cumbrian and South Yorkshire,The others were a sham and a joke and not worth comparing as the above would be done by people who care about the club and the region,The other two were just a chance to get rid of a couple of clubs,This wouldnt be the case in the Cumbrian/South Yorkshire ones.

Let it go Eagleblade, you've more chance of Paul Heaton recording 'Just Can't Get Enough'

Who do we (Sheffield, Doncaster and anyone else in SY) want to be in twenty years time, Catalan Dragons or Workington Town?

You can't rule either out

,

In 20 years time I will be grateful to still be on Planet Earth with a reasonably sound mind (my body is already in decline), even if it means watching Eagles from a wheel chair.

I don't think i'll be far behind you. Let me have the wheel chair when you've done with it!

I also have no desire to watch a merged 'county' team. And neither did I on the previous 8971 topics of exactly the same nature.

South Yorkshire isn't a county.



It was a council.

Boringhell.

But you know it's right .........
