Quote: Ste100Centurions "They are no further away from playing Super League than Toronto are , especially as Toronto are 'currently' not a member of any league anywhere !
Newcastle are doing their growth more organically & have the finances & vision to succeed. I have known Mick Hogan since we were just lads at school & he is an intelligent, focused & driven chap who is driving the growth of RL in the North East. Newcastle most definitely could make Super League & within approximately 5 years or so.'"
Great post. Take no notice of Silent's utter nonsense.
In their first season under the guise of Gateshead Thunder they instantly came sixth in Superleague. How did TWP do in SL with three years preparation?
The limited investment money ran out for Gateshead/Newcastle that's all. The Current £Millionaire owner has the money, and lots of it, he also has the ground and the player development system.
He offers instant expansion of the professional game to magic Weekend land.
Why put on a magic weekend to encourage expansion to the North East then completely ignore it and let phoney NA clubs in?Superleague should be challenged on why they ignore Newcastle as it's real expansion.
, btw other than Argyles demise financially (thanks to you
