TF and the wire said of the Widnes Vikings....Best in the World.

| Quote: Slugger McBatt "Widnes did not get thrown out of Superleague. They finished in one of the relegations slots and were relegated. The reason Widnes did not get back into Super League is not because of expansion, but because they couldn't play their way back into it. Expansion is almost irrelevant, other than creating the extra relegation slot.
Some Widnes on here bemoan expansion, but expansion has brought us franchising, and franchising is the only way they will get back in, because they seem routinely unable to win their way back in. They need to decide whether they support franchising, and thus expansion, or they don't. In which case, don't apply.
I would like to see Widnes back in Super League, but they need to put the violins away, because it was their performances on the field that got them in the lower league, and their performances on the field that kept them there.
As for Harlequins, I wish them well. Their presence in Super League arguably brings to the whole game of rugby league than Widnes and quite a few other teams (I include Wakey in this), as the off-field stuff is good for the game.'"
Naivety of the highest order. You believe that when a club submits a licence application they are doing it for the greater good? Grow up, every club that applies is doing it for one reason and that is to secure their place at the top table. Do you honestly think Leeds or Wigan would give a toss if Halifax or Barrow got in next time at the expense of the Crusaders? |

And to people like 'chirs dalton' who apparently think im just taking the mickey, and pretending to be a 'flatcapper' (god i hate that phrase), why do i not post on the harlequins or crusaders boards, and why are the majority of my posts on the sin bin? i'll tell you why, because your wrong .
Also, i have never lived in, nor supported Salford (i'm not sure where the hell that came from ![]()
For one, I don't use the term flatcapper and never aimed it against you, so I don't know where you got that from. When little bitches whined on here about a similar term aimed at expansionists and got it banned, I was quite annoyed that one wasn't banned as well in retort so you're very wrong there.
Secondly, you are a fake, you show all the classic signs and mods can check IP addresses. You're probably Enfield Exile or someone of that ilk. Whether or not you go on the other boards is irrelevant, but you've probably tried a similar game there and don't want to get caught too quickly again.
The thing is, if you don't want to get these accusations thrown at you, stop dragging up old arguments, living up to ludicrous stereotypes about widnes fans and generally playing the fool.

You reckon?
That's why I said it was likely that David Hughes *would* be able to find someone to take over at Harlequins, should he decide to step down.
As for £10million not being much, that is certainly true if you're putting in £1 million each year. Seems to me though that there are plenty of SL clubs who don't have millionaire owners. |

Thats because one contained the word nazi and unsurprisingly people found it offensive to be compared to the nazis simply because they believed that spreading the game of rugby league was a good thing.
Its not a similar term at all, if you cant see the distinction you are a fool. Nobody would mind if you did use a similar term, people did mind when you went way way way over the top and started evoking one of the most abhorent regimes to have ever existed whilst discussing something that is relatively unimportant. |

Moderation queries can be addressed to the moderators or admins. As you well know. 
But FWIW, I added that word 'expansion*zi", its variants and an equally insulting word referring to supposed opponents of expansion, to the swear filter. I didn't add flatcapper, although there was a request, because 1) it's a perfectly standard English word and 2) Featherstone fans have done nothing to deserve any mention of them being banned. |
