Haven't done the research yet, I'd always assumed Saints were hard up judging from their ground, attendances and the area they're based in.

I did research in 1999 into the Performance Profiling of elite RL players v Amateur and it eventually got me a job! It was with the University of Teesside, I then wrote a complete program of novice lessons and scheme of work for Year 7 RL in my PGCE for Liverpool John Moores in 2004.

A glut of research is done into all aspects of RL by under and post graduates. Wonder if the RFL has ever thought of collating it for use by the game? Would be very very foolish not to, its free!!!! Students would love to see their work published and acknowledged. I would.

Did mine on football in Bolton and Rochdale. As long as you're able to justify your chosen subject and your research criteria are sound you shouldn't have any problems.

They have used some at Carnegie in the past I think.

What they should be doing is a Rugby League Studies module. They have a Football Studies one, so why not? I'd have well loved to have done that!

Shouldnt take too long to cover the national free to air tv section
