London Welsh are small and insignificant.

It'd be like losing Halifax, not important Bradford.

Good team name that.

Whoosh!

Fish........Elbow?

When you, as fans, are constantly on the receiving end of these diatribes over and over from certain sections of fans from local rivals there are two ways of taking it, turning it round into a running joke or getting wound up.

The divs spouting this garbage have sod all understanding of the gambles, fibs to HMRC and other shenanigans all clubs get into just to ensure survival.

You're clearly not one of 'em.

When it hits the fan most of us want RL to prosper but there are those who masturbate, vigorously, over the thought of the death of their most bitter rival who just happens, despite all evidence to the contrary, to be teachers pet.

In dark times it's fun to point and laugh at them to keep the spirits up

Hope 'Fax have a good season, but let us have the 4 points eh? Always better a Lancashire club goes down...

It's nothing personal. But when a lot of most other Fax fans come on here slagging us off you are unfortunately caught up in the backlash if like yourself you are caught swimming against the tide. Generalisation is the way of the world these days.

No idea which thread to put this in now that the huge admin threads aren't on the front page, so,

Our good friend Nigel wood has been answering questions on Twitter this aft, unsurprisingly we came up. One interesting question amd answer was if it was considered unfair on Whitehaven to be asked to put together a championship squad at short notice why is it OK for the Bulls? The answer was that when the decision had to be made the Bulls still had the bulk of last seasons championship squad.

I find this odd, the players were made redundant before we were in any league. When they made and published the decision that a new club had to be in the championship we had precisely zero players. That doesn't add up. So they must have also applied the minus 12 points with the same assumption of our previous championship squad being able to handle the minus 12, not our current squad.

It also implies to me that if they had to make the decision last week they'd have put us in league 1 like we wanted....but I don't think that was ever the plan. It just proves the whole thing was a farce and the rfl handled it badly/making it up as they go along, Cheers for the help nige.

So it's minus 12 points, and minus 12 players, the rfl need throwing out, we need a new committee, how can we progress as a sport with these clowns in charge

Same with the production team at SKY. Clear out the dinosaurs and let new blood have a go.

Most of the game changes come from australia so the rfl are not changing the sport there, they are simply playing follow the leader, I'm not been bias towards the bulls, but they have certainly done more for British rugby league than the rfl have done

God that made me laugh
