So? We are still above 4 heartland clubs and the only club in France. Pretty good if you ask me.

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?

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.
