But as you say, there's none so blind as those that will not see ![]()
It wasn't about the success give or take - It was the comical abuse of a system that degraded the credibility of the league and placed it as no more as a training ground for super league clubs for fringe players, essentially pushing it towards the feeder club system in existence in Oz.
But it's all gone for now (hopefully). No one is begrudging your village's success. See you next season.

Personally I have no issue with historic Fev actions on how to maintain a compettitive side.
It's ourselves,Widnes ,Bradford and London that need to answer how we've let our standards slip so alarmingly to the point that we are now virtually in the third tier of rugby league.

....but I didn't say owt about pre DR did i? Fev have been used, albeit willingly, by Leeds as a feeder team even down to your coach being sat on the bench at Headingley proudly displaying his Rhinos badge. That not only belittles your club but brings the game as a whole into disrepute, doesn't it? As has been said though that is history, although the one week loan malarkey is an extension of the taking, let's hope we get back to some sort of normality next season.

In this thread the comment was entirely aimed at the success. If it had just been a general critical comment about DR most Fev fans would agree with it.
Fair play for the splendid passive aggressive ending though. |

Sure. If DR is gone for good, great. But that's not what was being discussed.

Loans should be for a minimum one of month with no call back allowed. Simple as that. The Grove, shuddersfield. Oakham Citra 4.2% Mmm!  |
