Quote ="vastman"Stupidity and lack of imagination.
People wax lyrical about the Bulls rebrand and true it worked to a degree, though IMO Northern was unique enough. I suppose a Bull just about fits in with the idea of a tough sport. But after that it just gets silly. Rhino's I hate, it's just crap, probably our premier big city club with a cartoon badge, yuk.
Cas have a defense in that they were calling themselves the Tigers in the late sixties I believe. It derives from the colours and I kinda get that.
But generally I hate the silly monikers, it shows what a monumental inferiority complex our game has about being Northern. I love it and I'd love is to push it to the max and be uber Northern, stuff anyone who doesn't like it.'"
Cas were going to call themselves Cougars but got beaten to it by Keighley, similarly that Whitehaven were going to add Warriors but Wigan nicked that one.
