| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"It's time they reduced the salary cap if this is the case. I fully agree with him that 14 clubs is unsustainable. It is, but not only from a financial perspective, the player depth isn't sufficient to produce 14 sides of reasonable quality. 10 would be the optimum number, but at the moment are there even that number of clubs? The likes of Salford, Wakefield, Bradford, [uHull KR [/uand Widnes really don't belong in an Elite competition as they are currently.'"
Not even with a 'B' licence?
Please, post something that has some substance or don't post at all. |

| Quote Famous="Famous"I find this absolutely pathetic from Hudgell. No one is forcing Hull KR to lose money, if he doesnt want to then he should cut his cloth accordingly, as every club should. There is no reason for any SL club to go bankrupt if they live within their means. It is simple economics and it certainly isnt a reason for SL to be cut. [uI dont mind 2 Hull clubs being in a 14 team SL[/u as I think it adds something but I certainly wouldnt want 2 places being taken up in just a 12 team SL, particulalry if Hull KR are struggling as much as Hudgell indicates.'"
How very kind of you. I'm sure the RFL will take your view into account, should it ever come to it!
Quite an incredible post from you really when one considers that you have derbies against Saints, Warrington and Widnes. I'm sure Salford could be thrown into this mix also when you consider it's another very short journey for you. The nearest SL club to Hull KR, after Hull FC, is Castleford, some 55 - 60 miles away!
So, again, why should Hull KR (a club with a 'B' licence) not be included in a 10 team SL? |

| Quote Cripesginger="Cripesginger"Jeez. get a grip. There are many more than 3. Do not be so arrogant as to equate BARLA with the entirity of the non professional game.
As for every amateur club having a vote..grow up. If they are not happy they can break away and do their own thing. They wont. Or they can aggitate through orgs like BARLA...it does not happen.'"
No, there are three which represent the amateur game, which is different from the non-professional game. If every championship club gets a vote, why not every amateur club? Those Amateur clubs have as much right to that decision making process as the championship ones. Why not just give 3 votes to the championships aswell? |

What significance does the grade carry now? Bradford are up a certain creek without a paddle and the proudly covet a 'B' licence. |

| Quote Slugger McBatt="Slugger McBatt"He's right about 14 teams. First thing, there is only a need for one team in Hull, and the bigger one stays in, Hull FC.
Now, Mr Hudgell, I presume you agree with that.'"
It's a good job for Hull KR that it is a 14 team league. The RFL would never have allowed 2 teams from Hull into a 12 team league. Aren't we lucky? |

| Quote Slugger McBatt="Slugger McBatt"We are going back to the end of the eighties again, when one club had money, Wigan, and everyone bust themselves trying to keep up. The salary cap is supposed to address that, but of course clubs now find their way to the top through sugar daddies rather than income streams, or make bad decisions to get punters through the gates. '"
According to records at Companies House ( thanks to lister of the Wire board ), Warrington's current turnover exceeds that of Bradford by more than £2m a year. Might that not be a reason for their financial solidity, over and above the need for a 'sugar daddy'? It's also not a bad idea to have cheaper season tickets if it brings people into the ground where they then spend money on beer, pies, burgers etc, rather than staying at home with the Sunday papers because they can't afford the admission price. |

Good point, or it would have been had they blocked our promotion. There were only 12 teams when we made our SL debut in 2007. |
