""As title sponsor for the past seven seasons, the sponsorship has been extremely valuable in providing consistent, national visibility for the Engage Mutual name and brand, supporting our business relationships, and providing great opportunities to share the thrill and spectacle of the sport with our customers, business partners and staff."'"
Translation -
7 years ago, nobody knew who we were. Today, even though the people that follow Rugby League have now heard of us, they still have never contemplated using us, and probably don't even know what it is we do. From a business point of view, to call our 7 year sponsorship a complete waste of time would be a bit harsh, albeit factually correct, because we did get to send a few of our staff & clients to a game of Rugby every now and then, and they came back saying they'd had a lovely time. Experts suggest this is predominately down to the fact that is was free, and that there was cake. |

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg |

| Quote: Remarkable_Rhinos "And they wonder why RL gets accused of being gimmicky.
Is it perhaps because we change our minds on what's the right thing to do once every couple of seasons?!
Let's have all the blockbuster Derby games played at the same place over 1 weekend in Cardiff!! YEAH! Great idea!!
Let's scrap the Derby bit, and do it based on the year before's league! YEAH!!! oooooh oooooh... and let's move it to Edinburgh!!! FANTASTIC!! That's what I call radical!!
I've got an idea... Let's go back to the Derby thing! YEAH! WHOOOO! AWESOME! Wait, shouldn't we move it back to Cardiff too?! Yeah!! Great idea!! We're really flying now boys!
Let's increase it to 15 teams! YEAH!
What are we going to do about the Magic Weekend though... I've got an idea... Who ever is top of the league, has to play the bottom 2 clubs for 40 minutes each. GENIUS!'"
Does anyone else think this sounds like an episode of "The Young Ones"? |

 That's pretty much how the RFL is run. If they don't agree with each other, the frying pans come out. |

Someone on Wakey board has just pointed out that the above article has been amended... and the reference to a 15 team league removed!!!
I think a journalist has done a usual trick of put 2 and 2 together and getting 5... or more like 14 + 1 = 15, forgetting that it is 14 + 1 - 1 = 14

It is increasingly looking like the Crusaders are in danger of not being here much longer anyway, so all this talk of who will make way for Widnes might solve itself.

Personally not a massive fan of the crusaders club, but a epic fail for RFL if they do dissapear. |

Exactly what I was thinking.
Especially given...
[iThe only other alternative that we currently have is to sell the Racecourse Ground, with some parties already showing an interest.
The Crusaders currently have a long lease to play Super League games at the Racecourse and this will not impact on their future.[/i
What does it matter to Crusaders who they pay the rent to as long as they can pay the rent?! |

It matters big time if the new landlords don't have a football team to contribute towards the running cost of the stadium and as a result the "rent" goes up by 5 fold to fill the gap, meaning that the Crusaders can't afford to stay there... |

Or the new landlords would rather build a housing estate. |

| I wonder if it's Wakefield that are the interested party?
Buy it, have it moved piece by piece to Wakey. Then they've got a new ground, Crusaders are homeless, and they've secured a spot in SL.
Crafty!  |
