The first distribution of kit takes places in Hull today - exciting times!

Coming soon to a community #rugbyleague club near you!

Maybe not these two giants of the game who we're proud to call colleagues, but some of the £70,000 worth of free kit that we're giving away to families involved with grassroots clubs.

It's too early to say whether the session worked but we had some very productive meetings afterwards!
