It's not the clubs fault that the RFL allow this to happen, it is in the RFL interest so as to preserve the clubs long term by allowing the DR swapshop to keep clubs afloat without contract costs.'"
In which case then it is probably time for clubs below SL to break away and let the 'elite' play with theirselves 'lol'. Easier said than done of course but the way things are going some clubs are going to disappear altogether. New tv deals and sponsorships could be sought for what after all is a much more enjoyable brand of rugby than the stale five drives and a kick that SL has become. I'm sure the fans in SL would be delighted to watch Huddersfield v Wakefield 5/6 times a season and fork out for trips to Canada, France, Lebanon or wherever. As it stands the game is heading headlong into oblivion so the status quo to me is not an option. Up The Fax!

Aye, we all or most of us hate it but as you say we're stuck with it now, at least in the short term. The game is in a right mess but as long as the pigs at the top table have a trough to dip into nowt's going to change. If we do end up joining with the giants, FFS, I'll personally take a season out. We have after all a trip to Mexico on the horizon for the lads wedding and my brass will go that way rather than watching shuddersfield players turning out in the blue and white hoops.

Alive n kicking: |
|
| DR will fade away because SL clubs can now have a full squad of ready to go
fully players, you can bet your bottom dollar the lads who don't play 1st team due to selection reasons will be playing 2nd grade rugby. This will sharpen up the players and have them match fit, results not an issue player development being the key issue. What will happen probably is the lower tier clubs will have to pay the wages of reserve grade players on loan deals or come to some
* quid pro quo* that will heavily weigh in favour of the SL club.
Yes once it's up and running and the format is settled in SL clubs will sign up players that us championship and league 1 clubs would have just to see how they go in the reserve grade. Everything is going to harder from hereinafter. I But what boils my wee wee more than anything is HALIFAX WAS PART OF THE PARTY.
It's as a tragedy that we as a club and we as supporters can't see the whole picture that the future of anything always rests with youngsters. They we not SL standard yet but I've a feeling this will come back and bite us on our backsides in more ways than and could have dire consequences.

I would strongly advise anybody NOT to bet their bottom dollar, or any dollars, pounds or euros, on this happening.
