Oldham are currently in sixth place in the table wlh 37 points from 26 games and with Widnesin seventh place but 5points behind they know that they cannot finish any lower in the table. Howeverwith the 5th to 8th place teams eliminated if they lose in the first round of play off matches Oldhamwill still be looking to force their way into the top four with Featherstone Rovers their target. Roversare fourth with 39 points but should be too strong for Workington at the Lionheart Stadium this afternoonand ahome win would end Oldham's hopes. Founded 1898 ForDewsbury Rams the scenario is quite straightforward. Awin for the Rams this afternoon Ground &Club Office wouldsee us clinch the League Leaders trophy for the second successive year and would take all the pressureoff the team for next week's trip to Leigh Oenturions. The target is two points from two matches Ram Stadium, Owl Lane, tobe certain ofthe title and with Keighley Oougars final two matches being athome against Whitehaven Dewsbury, West Yorkshire WF12 7RH andSwinton it's almost certain that those vital two points will be required. It means another massive gameis set to unfold here at Ram Stadium. Oldham are awell supported team so we expect to see the TEL. 01924 465489 spectators turning up in their numbers. If they areni attracted by agame of this magnitude we are FAX. 01924 437201 probablywasting our time indeveloping rugby league at this level.

    Players Register A-Z 1895-2016

    WAKEFIELD TRINITY RLFC PLAYERS REGISTER A-Z 1895-2016 HERITAGE NUMBERS … The Story Initial Ideas Our initial ideas for the heritage numbers came about a couple of years ago (approx. 2012), after seeing the success of Queensland in Australia, with Warrington being the first English club to follow suit. Next Step Tremendous work had been carried out by a group of rugby league historians in the 1970s (RL Record Keepers’ Club) who pooled their knowledge, and attempted to record every game in the first one hundred years of rugby league (1895-1994). Trinity’s were completed and fortunately we acquired the records to every Trinity game, and players, since 1895 The First 100 Years The teams for the first one hundred years of Trinity’s rugby league days (1895-1994) were recorded and each new player to make his debut noted. On the very first game there were fifteen (numbers 1-15) and each debutant after this was given the subsequent number, in position order (full back, winger, centre etc.). This was checked, double-checked and triple checked. By 1994 we had found 1,060 names. The Next 20 Years … Part 1 The next twenty years, to the modern day, were a little more difficult but we researched the Trinity playing records through the excellent ‘Rothman’s Year Books’ written by the late Raymond Fletcher and David Howes. These books started in 1981 and finished in 1999. Again, each debutant was given the next heritage number The Next 20 Years … Part 2 After the ‘Rothmans’ books ceased publication we used the yearbooks published by ‘League Weekly’, which also noted every new player, signed throughout the season.

    Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League Phillip Borell

    He iti hoki te mokoroa: Māori Contributions to the Sport of Rugby League This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Māori and Indigenous Studies in the University of Canterbury By Phillip Borell University of Canterbury 2012 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore the influences and contributions of Māori to the establishment and development of the sport of rugby league in New Zealand. The overarching question of this thesis is how have Māori influenced and contributed to the development of rugby league in New Zealand? This thesis examines the international social history of rugby league from the origins of rugby league as a sport following the split in rugby union in England through to the contemporary status of Māori within the game as an elite sport in New Zealand and overseas. By examining Māori involvement in rugby league it is my intention to place Māori at the centre of the explanation for the establishment and development, past and present, of the sport in New Zealand, and also globally. While there have been some previous accounts of the affiliation between Māori and rugby league (Coffey and Wood, 2008; Greenwood, 2008; Falcous, 2007) this thesis compiles accounts from disparate sources in order to outline the history of Māori involvement and achievement in the development stages of rugby league. Key areas of focus for this thesis include the early Māori tours of 1908 and 1909, the development of the New Zealand Māori Rugby League as an independent entity separate from the New Zealand Rugby League and the contemporary influences of Māori on rugby league.
