Fine. No merger, no place.
Might reprieve Bradford.

| The idea of merging the Hull clubs is ridiculous.
They can't stand each other. In 2 or 3 generations time, it might work. But for the next 100 years at least there'd be nothing but trouble with it.
It would be a marketing nightmare! There's no way you could keep both sets of fans happy. Moving to the KC would instantly get the Robins fans backs up for a start. Then every single season you'd have... "That kit looks too much like a KR Kit. I'm not having that." (or vice versa). Half the crowd would refuse to sing Old Faithful, the other half refuse to sing Red Red Robin.
It's not just a case of stick three crowns on the badge, have a bird as a mascot, play in Red, Black & White, move to the bigger stadium and we're done. There's history there.

| 10 Team Super League has no room for sentiment. There isn't room for both of them. There is room for one of them or a combination of both of them. Otherwise they don't come to the party and Bradford get a reprieve.

What if 10 team Super League had promotion and relegation? There'd be room for them both then.

No promotion and relegation from 10 team Super League. Then it would be essentially a 9 team competition with one team being a rubbing rag every week.

Who really gives a flying fook about our interbred east coast genetically deficient neighbours?
Not me for one.
Merge the two clubs – they still couldn’t make a decent team between them. I really don’t care if they’ve been around for 100+ years, they’re morons.
My only real concern would be that it would create a set of Super Morons with the combined idiocy from both clubs. It’d be like Planet of the Apes meets Deliverance.

Are you reading from Maurice Lyndsay's press release circa 1995? Surprised you haven't mentioned Calder RLFC.

| There was an earlier mention of it....
someone alluded to merging a few clubs in Wakefield area to produce something very similar to Calder RLFC.
Don't need mergers, just let teams play. The principal of a 10 team Super League has potential.

I assume you're on a wind-up, but the day RL has no room for sentiment will be the day I stop taking any interest.

I have this thing for Hull/Hullians - militant fekkers the lot of them.
With enough strategically placed Semtex it would be possible to detach Kings Town from the rest of the country and it could then be it’s own independent state.
Win win for everyone.

No, I'm serious. It's a kick up the booty the game needs.
