[QUOTE="Jacko828, post: 907428, member: 77919"] I’ll try and keep it brief but I’ve played Rugby League since I was a kid (I’m 19 now) and have only really played a couple of games of Union. Over the last couple of years though I’ve really struggled with injuries, one serious one and multiple minor/****ley one’s that have stopped me progressing basically. I’m currently injury free but I’m far from fit - I’ve gone through a break up fairly recently as well and it did knock me a bit. I want to get back to playing Rugby League and my goal is to progress in that sport.The issue is that the League season is over half way through now, I’m not fit enough to play in the league i’ve played in before, the 2nd team have 3 games left so that’s isnt worth it, I don’t really want to join another team at a lower level half through a season only to go somewhere else in December (and I’d probably only go into the 2’s there because why would I walk straight into any first team?). Not sure what you all think but that seems cheeky to me. I could wait till next season but I feel like I need to be playing and training so I can get back into the swing of things. However, my Dad was speaking to his mate who coaches the 1st team at a local Rugby Union club and he suggested I go down there, play a season (the season is out side of a Rugby League season), get used to playing with a rugby ball every week again and head back to Rugby League for the start of next season. I believe the club is level 7 in England - what sort of standard is that like? It’s a local league so I’m guessing the quality will be lower than I was playing RL at? Is that a bad thing given my situation? It might ease me back into it. There’s a Rugby League winter team that play at the end of the year buts 1 hour 20 mins away so not sure that’s an option. A lot of questions I know but what would you guys recommend I do? Think the Union pre season starts in 3 weeks ago and the season starts in August/September time. [/QUOTE]
