Quote: imwakefieldtillidie "And that's what really gets my back up, that teams can play for a entire season and not have anything to show for it. Or in your case, three seasons. Sport is about winners and losers on the pitch, not business plans and stadiums. I used to go and watch games all over when Wakefield weren't playing, but the RFL have taken all the pleasure Rugby League so much that I now only care about Wakefield, not the game itself. the RFL have done this, not Wakefield.'"
Just summed up exactly how I feel - nicely put.
Franchises, Super Dooper League, no promotion or relegation has killed off any pleasure around the sport of rugby league. It's made us all insular - only interested in our own club. The game has gone backwards at international level. We have looked to expand but.....at the cost of where the game has always been the strongest.
This is not about Halifax vs Wakefield. The only time it should be is when (or if) we play each other.
