| Sorry, but I agree with him, the standard of SL appears to be slipping yet again.

| Quote: The Chronicler of Chiswic "Sorry, but I agree with him, the standard of SL appears to be slipping yet again.'" Mmm. As a saints fan, I look back on the outrageously talented set of players we had on show in 2000 with mixed emotions. Yes, the standard of our team was higher then, and probably that ability for the bigger clubs to horde the lions' share of the talent made for better big games. We'd also have a dozen games a year when we'd rack up 50, mind.
But
We have implimented strategies through the salary cap and quota system, not only keep clubs financially secure, but to even out the competetion and to help produce a more stable, british based player pool.
Perhaps now we lack the all star line ups which we were so fond of, but in time the extra number of youngsters given the chances throughout the league [ishould[/i start to adapt the the level set by the now spread out stars.
The worst thing the RL could do (and something that that have a habit of doing) is not sticking to a well set out plan just because they don't see the benifits immediately. You can't make an omelete without breaking some eggs.

| What a load of crap teams like Saints have been bending the Rules for years now some teams are starting play the so called big teams at the own game and it is only a couple years away where there will new kid on the block.
Going on about Celtic and Salford is wrong it is a diffrent game in the NL1 it more based on skill and not size and pace it will take the a couple years to get used to it thats why we have the franchise systam.

Not having seen a SL game 'in the flesh' for over 10 yrs I'm not best placed to comment on the accuracy of what you say but taking it at face value it poses a simple question for me. Does bigger and faster make for a better spectacle? For me the answer is no but growing SL attendance figures would suggest otherwise in the opinion of many.

| It's Friday 13th and we've got a burst of misery and pessimism.
Joy unconfined.
As Wembley '83 points out – crowds are on the up. The product can't be getting that much worse. And this would not be the first time that a season has (in some eyes at least) been slow to get going.
Alhough I'd suggest that the current form of the likes of Castleford and Warrington makes it a really interesting start to the season, since it has not started predictably.
One wonders whether, if it had started predictably, the same naysayers would be complaining about predictability?
One wonders, indeed, where RL in the UK would be without whinging?

It's not our fault you're from Warrington.
