If you are going to get beat in a cup game ain`t it better to be beaten by the eventual winners.

What and Mr O'Connor (of Eddie Stobbards fame) has not spent much at Widnes???
This is the money bags Final come on.
I wonder how much each Chairman will be offering each team to win it???
My bet is the Barrow lads get offered the most.

I thought you weren't allowed in 'cos of financial difficulties ?


Final ? What final....

I just hope that it's a good game and a credit to our League so I don't have to put up with any "how do you watch that?" comments from Super Duper League fans wathing their only Championship game of the season.

Could not really care less as neither like nor hate either Widnes or Barrow. I will not be watching but still hope its a good game. I have a soft spot for Fev, Batley and Gateshead in our league and would of liked one of them in the Fianl if not us. But anybody else not too fussed

Not bothered who wins as Fax are not in it....may the best team on the day win it for me.

Oh come on, after all of the we'll put 100 points on someone, best by a country mile etc there was always going to a bit of a backlash. The way [usome[/u Fax fans have been carrying on for the past few months its been like Hull KR were back in the division.

I didnt vote because I didnt want to get accused of sour grapes by Widnes fans or of being a one eyed rabid Barrow hating jealous psychopath by Barrow fans.

Therefore, I go for the draw. Even after extra time all will be tied and the RFL will be forced to slice the trophy in two. Each team will get half, along with half a franchise place for 2011.

This will lead to a merger between the two known as WideBrownArs[ie[/i (anagram of Widnes and Barrow) who will play half the games in each town (urban sprawl will get them in the end anyway). This will entail the first half being played in Barrow and the second half in Widnes, with a stopover in Scotland at half time. This way they get around a number of the RFL pre-requisites for SL for location and developing regions and as the team will be populated with nine year old Australians, it also meets the youth development criteria. The purchase of a pie factory for Nigel Wood will also be a mandatory condition from next year and this is being planned along with new floodlights.

Fans will be forced to form a WideBrownArse militia, led by Vikingman and his sidekick PeteNorth. Both will be tied in a marital union to blend black & white with blue & white and they will spawn lots of little mutant src's and pepe's who will run round the grounds with their air horns and drums complaining that everybody hates them. They will not be wrong !

The charimen of each club will combine their millions in an act of love (after signing a pre-nuptual agreement) and will transport fans around the country in Eddie Stobart trucks free of charge. Players will be publically flogged for poor performances and the chairmen will use that famous finger (John Hopoate style) to encourage players to run faster and harder. With a business model this succesful before long they will be as big as Real Madrid, Brisbane Broncos while still dreaming of reaching the exalted status of Hull KR.

All around the country there will be chants of "Up the WideBrownArse" !


So much to play for in the final you see, shame we missed out.

Not if it's you Nomads

close that, i've put Widnes to avoid any sour grape accusations

Why would we have sour grapes? We were 'beaten by a better side' apparently.
