I am not bitter about Fax not being in SL. I am bitter about the way the game is being ruined and so many fans are not happy, yet the RFL do not care. For me I would love to have seen Barrow have a crack at SL this year. Or Fev next year as for me they have been the best teams and should have been given a chance in SL as long as they were not losing money. Instead we (Fax, Fev, Leigh, Barrow etc) are told to play a load of meaningless games with no real hope for the future for anybody. I see many fans ready to walk away.
I fear for the game and famous clubs like Fev, Fax, Leigh etc. It breaks my heart to see the way our game is being ruined by clowns who do not give a hoot about the game as a whole. I honestly do not think Championship clubs have much to lose by telling the RFL to go and do one. They do not want us anyway. And if fans from Championship clubs make demonstrations etc what can the RFL do to Clubs?

Bloody hell, rovers is right. You do whinge like one of us!!

You could be a fev fan with that post!!!

As expected, I'm entirely in agreement with you!

If Lewis & Wood have their way, in the next round after 2012 of franchises, Super League will consist of

Wigan
Leeds
Warrington
Perpignan
Toulouse
Edinburgh
Wales
Newcastle-Gateshead
London
Leeds
Bradford
St Helens
Hull
Hull KR

A breakaway is inevitable, and a must for the heartlands to survive.

Halifax, Fev, Leigh & Barrow will NEVER get a chance unless promotion/relegation is restored.
We'll see Widnes, Salford, Wakey & Cas probably making way for the expansionists unless any of the expansion clubs go bust.

I THINK THAT JOHN KEAR HAS JUST SIGNED A NEW CONTRACT WITH WAKEY ASWELL.

HE WONT BE HAPPY AT ALL IF ITS A WAKEY WIDNES SWAP!!!

I WOULD FEEL FOR KEAR ASWELL AS I RESPECT HIM MASSIVLEY

So much so you had to shout about it!

I agree mind!!

The more I think about all of this, the more I shake my head in disbelief!

A complete and utter shambles!!!!

But all the champ club chairmen will continue to bow down and keep quiet, and us fans will have our rant on here. Is it not time to stand up and be counted and remind red hall that they are the RFL and they have 30+ member clubs.

I just can't understand the whole system, and i'm sure there are many like me. I mean one of the best games I ever watched was Wakey Vs Cas in a relegation battle (who ever wins stays up). And it was a belting game of rugby. Theres none of that anymore, yes it's not a great boost to finish bottom but players aren't going to fight for the game like they were. Wrecking the sport they are.

IMHO it is just another example of the RFL blindly following the NRL example and chanting the mantra all "Aussie ideas are best".

He will end up as coach at Widnes.

It should work over in Oz, they offload their surplus over here and to all corners of the RU world !!!!

put yourself in lewis's boots (don't give a poop about RL just boosting mi pension up and long may it last, RL will be here longer than i will be destroying the lower leagues because i'm a puppet for sky)
[sizeWOULD YOU IF YOU DIDN'T GIVE A HOOT!
