Oh one little point Fax4Life,

Not knocking 'Fax in any way, but our "typical boring Aussies" were putting CRICKET scores on much of NL1.

I believe, (contrary to many flat-capper's claims) that WE are there on merit (temporarily putting aside the Aussie army argument) and that our foundations are there (U18s just having become league champions by beating the previously unbeaten Leigh Miners 32-10).

We'll take some of the low-hanging fruit in SL later this year don't you worry. But would still be glad to see you guys in the mix with us in 2010. Perhaps then we could answer the opening questions.

Watching Salford and Celtic this weekend and several times this season, I believe we could turn them both over, more so Celtic, they were dismal yesterday!!

But, I doubt we could compete week in week out with this side in Super League. We'll see how close we are however on Saturday.

Me too, I'm not sure we'd be Celtic both they're getting beaten every week and it shows. It's alright commentators banging on about 'battling on', they're safe no matter what so they don't have to scrap for the wins and it shows.

You were very organised and you got 2nd spot on merit but ask me about being entertaining and no not imo from the games I saw.
As for last season well you seem to have forgotten defeats at places like Whitehaven, Sheffield, Featherstone and Salford plus at home to Whitehaven. Plus your highest victory was 56-28 at home to Batley, you never scored more than 50 points in any other league game so where were the cricket scores???
As for your U18s well done but you are a professional club playing against amateur clubs, hardly a 'level playing field' yet again.
Do this in the Academy that SL teams play in and I will sit up and take notice.
Oh and by the way less of the flat cappers, its wearing thin and I find it insulting, its like calling you a sheep fancier.

Seems to me that anytime anyone mentions a fair and level playing field for all we are called flat cappers well if that is the case I`m proud to be one thank you very much.

I aint that fussed really but its in the context that hacks me off as you say, as soon as we say anything that goes against the 'expansionist ideals' we get this thrown at us.
They forget that we are on about 'fairness' and comparing 'like for like' plus getting clubs like Celtic Crusaders rammed down our throats even when they are not that good!
The point being its not expanding the game I am against at all its the unfair advantage these clubs get and the abuse when you dare 'criticise' tham in any way at all, even if you are probably right.
Hey Ho.
Come the day of reckoning in 2011 we shall see won't we?????
