Quote Asgardian13="Asgardian13"Some would say that it's about bl**dy time that the RFL showed desperation to add something NEW to the game. Nigel Wood coasted for years, Ralph Rimmer looks like he's the fat controller's apprentice, Brian Barwick's 'contacts' are all from a 1960s Roladex. The NRL 'bent' their rules to encourage expansion, especially in the case of Melbourne Storm. We can't do anything to assist Toronto? Not even re-arranging a few fixtures?'"
Wolfpack were admitted to tier 3 under the agreement that until they entered SL they would pay for away travel and accommodation. To date they have done so, albeit with complaints (from fans mainly) about student dorms and travel to training etc, as well as the criminal record v temporary visa saga that lumbers on...all can be described as teething issues and are to be expected.
The 2018 fixture list being skewed because of upgrades to Lamport most assuredly benefited the Wolfpack, but if we are allowing for teething problems, then fine.
What isn't acceptable is Noble and the club whining about home and away scheduling......a block of 4 home games would 100% give the wolfpack an unfair advantage and as such, they've received a compromise....as for the £300,000 spend....their issue, not ours!
As I say, I hope HKR stuff them......another year in the lower tier will cost Argyle another wedge and for all his "bar tab down the local" bravado, this is real cash.
If they go up, then I hope that the SL side enforce their scheduling strictly......and that the powers that be are all over their cap.........
