David Hyomes’ Jersey Talk: #3 – centre
A key position on the pitch. You get a long line breaking pass from a playmaking half back – you are in space – do you go yourself or do you draw the last line of defence and put your winger away? As a defender you are often exposed – do you jump out of the defensive line, and make a ball-and-all tackle, or do you hold back and attempt to draw the attacker ? Here at Dewsbury we have been blessed with a succession of classic men in the number three shirt over the years. Let us start with […]
Betfred Championship and League 1 Forum
Betfred Championship and League 1 clubs held a scheduled Forum via video conference today, chaired by Simon Johnson, RFL Chair.

Day shares hopes for playing return following fundraising efforts
As many supporters will have noticed, Dewsbury Rams hooker Sam Day has kept himself busy during the lockdown period by raising money for worthy causes. Day, who has become a fans’ favourite at the club since first joining on loan in 2017, is using his time away from the game to keep fit by running half-marathons. He said: “I wanted to stay fit during lockdown so I’ve been out running. “And whilst out running I thought I could mix it up and raise some money for charity, and run half a marathon every day until lockdown finished. “But then I […]
David Hyomes’ Jersey Talk: #4 – centre
One head scratcher for me looking at our three-quarter line up at Dewsbury over the years has been the versatility factor; wingers and centres seem to have been able to swap roles with regularity over the years. Prior to the introduction of squad numbers, it is a fact that numbers two to five have been quite interchangeable! With regard to number four – left centre – I am going to start with Nigel Stephenson. A few weeks ago I did a feature on Nigel, so I don’t want to repeat that, but how classy was Nigel? Three times a Rugby […]
