Really enjoyed the content of this topic and some really good points made. I think the club has improved it's communication. Perhaps another fans forum once the fun and games are over re matters on the pitch to give some of the questions on here a hearing?
Looking at the middle 8 concept it is heavily weighted in favour of the SL clubs who are simply used to a higher intensity of rugby week in week out - Championship sides could do it for the odd game but not 7 on the trot. Leigh look to be the only team capable of causing a serious upset.
I think the club and RM have made it clear in the past that our pathway to SL will be a slow one building from the bottom up. Not what some want to hear but as a lifelong supporter I personally have seen too much of the boom and bust management and all the heartache and embarrassment that brings.

We might be 'throwing stupid money around' but it would appear not as much as Toronto, from the number of our players reported to be heading over there! (or it could just be that our Yorkshire contingent are jumping at the chance to train at Tong, rather than travel to Leigh every day! )

Could be three, if Toulouse have a big backer!!

And Toronto get some dispensation the year after.

and the year after that. And the year af....

So Partime means going backwards, or at best standstill. Wow what a dream!

Has anybody been watching super league lately??
The quality of games is poor.
Super league isn't the promised land.

Whilst SL isn't the promised land in terms of quality rugby it is where the money is I'm afraid.

Norman , I will arrange a Bucket Collection for Sunday.

Are you seriously trying to say that the standard in the championship is as good as Super League?

Super League is not the promised land, it's the NRL, which is why a number of our best players go there and why we pay a "premium" over NRL salaries for players.

If some Fans want Fax to be a level two, Partime club then that's fine, but let the BOD tell us if that's there ambitions.

Some of the thursday night games recently have been dreadful and on what i've sen recently i'd back Leigh to beat Salford.But on a form line through Bradford we should have beaten Leigh-so who knows..

For me, after relegation, our beloved club has been two truly class signings away from having a league leading side.

I really think we are lucky to have players like Tyrer who are so fringe it it unbelievable and I am so glad we have him. BUT, imagine if we had a Ridyard, or a Brierley etc. Yeah Muzza is a top bloke who has class in spades but his fitness lets him down.

With that wad of money we should have punted on a marquee player although to contradict mesen I cannot think of one. Rangi? er....NO.

You get my drift.

You have to speculate to accumulate..How you speculate is where the balls are.
