At the moment the champions are the team that wins the grand finale. A good coach will make decisions about his team based on this; he may take a gamble, put out a weaker team against one team to give players a rest or not risk players who are nearly fit in a game that if it was a cup game he might.
Featherstone have done well but until you get the main prise for winning the league you cannot say that Fev. have been the best club overall the team with the most silverware has been the best club.
That’s like saying the person that has past the start finish line in front of everybody else, more in a 15000m race is the winner, not the person that ran the race tactically correct, tucked in behind the front group, saved their energy for the last lap and sprinted past everybody in the last 100m to cross the finish line in first place is the winner.
Halifax might start to win the league when and if the rules change, and you are crowned champions for winning the league.

That nice mr wood is like a politician though starbug he says one thing and does the totally opposite But to be honest i hope your right starbug i hope one of us 3 do get in and to be honest i dont care which 1 of us it is because if 1 of us gets in it will change the whole no entry situation hopefully.But if 1 of us replace bradford im sure it will only be for 2 years as im sure bradford will be fast tracked to get back in at 1 of us 3s expense.

Can't argue with any of that.

I just wish that the RFL would be honest about it and state categorically that SL is closed to new applicants. At that point the Championship clubs may at last get together and plan for the future.

All this "Destination Superleague" etc. from all our clubs is embarrassing as it simply will not happen.

The Bradford debacle has now proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is impossible to be ejected from SL and, ergo, for a place to become vacant.

The reason I no longer post on the Leythers board , I dont ' Beleighve '

I do not acknowledge 'persona non grata'

The RFL didn't need to do owt.

The clubs have ALWAYS looked after themselves.
