🏉 Welcome back, Sam

A dual-code player who has played both rugby league and rugby union for years.

Sam is another big voice on the pitch — you’ll always know where she is and what she thinks! 😂 She might swear at you from time to time (all the time) but we promise, she means it with love! ❤️

After being one of our top try scorers last season, Sam is always a danger when she gets the ball in hand.

💭 Coaches’ Thoughts

Sam — aka Big Sam, Sweary Sam & Hightower.

Sam was one of our top scorers last year and is always a danger to the opposition when she has the ball in hand. She is also a danger to all around after the game when she has a drink in hand too! 🍻😂

A dual-code player, Big Sam was captain of Rochdale Hornets this season and brings that intensity, leadership and competitive edge into the union game.

We’re buzzing to have you back👏🏼👏🏼

🏉 Congratulations to Adam Bunting & Jenson Brogan on their selection to the Sale Sharks Under-16s Player Development Group (PDG).
Adam has earned selection once again after being involved with the PDG last year, a fantastic achievement that reflects his continued hard work, commitment and development.
For Jenson, this is his first selection to the programme – a well-deserved reward for his dedication and performances last season.
We are incredibly proud of both players and the effort they have put into their rugby. We wish Adam and Jensen the very best on their PDG journey and look forward to seeing their continued progress in the Sale Sharks pathway.
👏 Well done, lads – your Rochdale Rugby Club family is proud of you!
🏉💙💛

Welcome back, Elaine!

5 years at the club and she STILL doesn’t know what position she’s plays🤦‍♀️

An amazing ball carrier who will always make yards with the ball in hand and is never afraid to take it straight to the opposition. She’s tough, powerful and always looking for work, and you can guarantee she’ll be there over the ruck when you need her! 👊

💭 Coaches’ Thoughts

Elaine — aka “The Fastest Prop in the League.” 😂

Elaine has improved game on game and is now the first name on the team sheet. Very tough, very mobile and great at handling, she scored the try of the year in the last game of last season! 🔥

Dislikes: Romantic meals & romance
Likes: Kebabs & a good bunk up 👀😂

We’re buzzing to have you back for another season, Elaine! 🫶🏼

Welcome back!
