I'm talking about Super League, obviously, you complete tool.

Come on Ewen you know that's not right they played Paris St Germain in the first game of Super league remember!

This birth place of rugby league thing, isn’t it just because Huddersfield was a convenient place for all participating clubs to meet and not much else?

Oh and you have a very long way to go before you can compare yourselves with the bulls of recent years, and so do we (Leeds).

Sort of the original meeting was meant to be somewhere over the pennines but it snowed off so they agreed to meet at the George Hotel in Huddersfield because it was quite central bbeing on the border of Yorkshire and Lancashire and was near the train station.


Also there were a number of clubs involved in this meeting not just Huddersfield meaning that they were'nt the first club in Rugby League they were one of the founding members.

Although funnily enough they are the oldest clubs being established in 1864 (well the original club was not in it's current guise) followed by Hull FC (again in terms of the Hull club not this current company) in 1865.

In fact (although neither was Bradford Northern) there were two Bradford clubs at that meeting meaning Bradford had a better representation than Huddersfield. Not forgetting that the first champions were Manningham (later to become Bradford City).

What year was Sheffield established?

1984

From the Wikipedia

Except technically that club plays at the Galpharm.

I'd say the current guise of Sheffield was established in 1999.

I haven't heard much about the tenth anniversary celebrations. [url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-merger-looms-large-for-giants-and-eagles-1123282.htmlA little research[/url suggests the club was born on the 30th September, 1999 - any of the visiting HSG fans care to tell us what's planned to mark the occasion?

I presume the large following of their fans from Sheffield will be laying on a fleet of buses?

Which is, in the context of accuracy, all 100% correct. As I need to spell it out, the word "replacement" was used by that poster NOT in the context of a like-for-like replacement of Big Joe (which is what you claimed) but in the context of replacing one type of player with Vagana's strengths, with a completely different type ,of player with other strengths that the OP felt Joe did not have. What's your problem? Can't read?



Mick Gledhill?







Oh dear Oh dear , you're quoting Mick Gledhill??









Er let's just say you should come on here more often.


Indeed, and in saying that, you were horribly wrong. We have been noweher near top 6. In case I need to spell it out again, we are struggling not to be bottom so far, and your 'prediction' that we would finish above you was your rankest.


Now [iyou're[/i making [imy[/i point.


Leaving aside that I thought you were trying to make serious points, and not a (now self-admited) mere wind-up merchant (noted for future reference), you're clearly deluded. Or maybe you've seen all the toys lying around YOUR pram, and decided to back down and pipe down a bit, to save face. But you said what you said, and there it all is in b&w. It was no wind up, you genuinely believed it and you're just trying to pretend that you were being a prat, because you reckon it's better than being made to look foolish.

Oh, you couldn't wind up a watch. The evidence rather proves that your rubber band was actually rather tightly twisted by me. Now run along.

Thanks for all that really interesting stuff folks so just to recap where was Rugby League born again?

Huddersfield in 1895 Thanks for clearing all that up, and a few mis-quotes yet again, I never once mentioned we were the 1st club, just the birthplace and Ewen you didn't mention you meant SL!!!!

So to cover off this topic THE BRADFORD PACK IS NOT THE BEST IN SL!!!!
