Welcome back to club rugby.

No DRs or dual reg and some of the local youngsters may even go off for some game time locally.

How good has it been  going back to club rugby. Going back to National Two North which is a great level of rugby but most of all is a great big honest reality. In your face games, that mean something special. 

This is how good it can get. The basics. The support has always been there. This is Rotherham Titans. Enough said!!!

Sadly for you guys, and DMP, the Dogs, there can only be one ‘Huckleberry of the north’ this season and that’s Sedge WinkLOLLOLLOL

Have a great night the ‘Mighty Roth’ and all who sail in National One. Except Blackheath WinkWinkLOLLOLLOL

All the best

Seriously impressive to start life in Nat 1 with 3 bonus points wins.


Keeping the coach was the most significant move IMO, the improvement in the team was very impressive throughout last season and they’ve gone up a notch this season too with a full pre-season and some smart additions in important positions.

All based around the basics, big pack with a strong set piece, good decisions at half back, consistent goal-kicker, very fit with good options off the bench. Bigger tests to come though, esp up front I suspect. 




Not just a big pack, a very mobile one too. All three teams we have played so far have not just been pushed back, they have disintegrated and overwhelmed. The unsung heroes.
The very satisfying thing is that we are not a one trick pony either. Our win at Darlington on a big wide pitch enabled the backs to shine too.

One final point about today was that we left a good number of points out there too, and frankly, with all respect to Esher, we literally gave them two of their tries through our errors and it was hard to comprehend at 26-19 that the game was not safe and the worry was that we might get pegged back.
However, the strength & fitness told and in the end secured what turned out to be a very comfortable win.
Since we beat Leeds in March we have looked stronger and stronger and it has the potential to be a very good season. Bigger challenges lie ahead against some very good teams, but the start made, considering injuries, is very satisfying indeed.
