I wonder if somebody here remembers the Jewish players who played for Leeds in time past and Hunslet (I think)?

Also was there once a Jewish RL comp in Leeds and Manchester?

Just trying to get some background info.

Cheers

Leeds had a player called Wilf Rosenburg who's nickname was the flying dentist I think he was jewish cannot think of anyone else

there was once a club in the early days of the game[ rugby league was called the northern union then
The club was called LEEDS PARISH CHURCH. I think it had a very big jewish following

You need a thick skin to play rugby.

heard that one be fore

Can we please keep this subject on-topic without getting into the realms of potentially offensive posts?

Usual suspect unfortunately. Has previous!

There was a piece in RL World a couple of months back which touched on this. Written by Chris Westwood, I think. You might like to try contacting him via League Publications Limited.

Phil Caplan's Jewish isn't he?

I bet he'd know...

my old man's old man sometimes goes on about a winger who used to play for us nicknamed 'the flying Rabbi'-any ideas who it is?
