Aren't the Burgess Lads from Dewsbury?

I thought that but not 100%

Pretty sure Burgess' are from Wakey.

Which is a WF postcode is it not?

Liversidge/Heckmonwicke I believe, bith of which are indeed WF postcodes..

So?

Postcodes only denote postal areas (for example, Ilkley falls under the Borough of Bradford but has an LS post code)

Kirklees then?

Not Leeds anyhow.

(PS if we exclude them do we need to Exclude JP...A Pudsey lad!!)

So players who qualify to play for Leeds under the 'Postcode Test' guidelines???

Can someone remind us all of the criteria for 'Postcode Test' ?

You and fking postcodes, whats the obsession?

We are attempting to decipher which players are from Leeds. The postcode is a reasonable way of achieving this goal.

The club closest to the place where you were born followed by the club closest to where you first lived. Duration criteria can also be considered.

My 2nd club is Castleford for example but my qualification to support Leeds RLFC is undoubted.

Why don't you then?

Or are you still fashioning that groove on your settee?

They don't exist anymore.

Postcodes are just codes to help royal mail deliver letters, HTH

So Otley and Ilkley are in Leeds, but Drighlington isn't then?

There will always be grey areas. At one point Drighlington was Leeds Telephone Code, Bradford Post Code and Leeds City Council or some such conundrum.

I maintain the postcode is a reasonable means of determining who is allowed to play for this Leeds side.

What determines where a player is from?

Birthplace may well be Jimmys or LGi even if they lived and were brought up in a Bradford postcode.

one mans pudsey is another mans bradford, so where they lived /grew up /went to school

Well at least I tried. Don’t see anyone else putting one together!

Go on

The club closest to where he was born.

I have a terrible feeling that by that rationale' I have to be a Saints fan. If not them, it's Wigan!



No, no, crisis averted. It's Whitehaven.

LTID born in Billinge hospital by any chance?

Altnagelvin hospital.

Now that's bellow the belt and entirely uncalled for

Looks like I'm a Gateshead fan!

So people from small towns with no maternity unit automatically qualify for the nearest big town team rather than the one where they lived and grew up?
