Hendo has plenty of experience in the NL.

He spent time with Castleford, and also I think previous to that Barrow

Okay, so I got the name wrong - could we get back onto the point, i.e. for some reason (it would be wrong for me to speculate) the BBC have decided to take an interest into the wasNL1/nowChampionship.

Which must be a good thing.

...

no mater what the reason

...

cough*TO*cough

Quite possibly , I wonder if they mention SL and FRANCHISE and 2012 as much as everybody did with the Crusaders

I watched the matches on the Welsh channel and I can now speak some Welsh



Wonder if I'll learn some French as well

If you read the link, yes, Henderson does talk about a franchise spot. It is a shame, but that's his choice of what he will talk about. As this is player talking, not a BBC columnist, it's not the BBC's choice of how the championship is presented - just their choice of whether they will talk about it or not.

...

Btw, Birmingham Bulldogs, when they were in NL3, claimed that they were just 3 years from SL ...

he did play for Barrow but i think we were in NFP territory then.

NFP , NL s , Championships , second division

Call it what you will , a turd is still a turd



[size=59I now await the fierce condemnation for not giving these competitions the respect they deserve , depite everybody in the game constantly talking about getting out of them [/size
