And there lies the main problem, some fans don't want to wait, or to look to the long term they want to see results immediately.

slighty off topic but with regards to cap. is there a minimum salary for a signed player? other than the minimum wage. the salary cap will only work if there is a floor. lesser players will just be squeezed out the bottom of the wage scale to accomodate bigger players pay. there needs to be a safe guard for "journeyman" players

Are you happy with Super League at the moment?'"

Yes. Next year I expect Crusaders and Salford to make big steps forward, with the bottom of the table being a nightmare and less points between top and bottom.
*If* Salford and Crusaders don't improve over the next couple of years we may need to work out why Franchising works for some teams and not others.

Im happy with Super league, Its great to see Hull KR up near the top, hopefully there are some play off "shocks" and maybe in the grand final to. Hopefully in a few years it won't even be called a shock because the teams will be on even more of a level playing field. Some of the players coming through are great.

I would love to see top quality players of both codes playing in Super league as it would give mass appeal to the competition. Sadly thats not to likely at the minute but until then i am very happy to see the players which are coming through do well for club and hopefully country.

I think the field has been levelled pretty well, and makes games better to watch with the odd unpredictable result being thrown up.
I can understand the no relegation policy will help new clubs to get stabilised, and see the sense in it, but it's a massive shame for a club like Fax who would probably otherwise end up with a SL place next year.
How about, if a club gets promoted, it gets a year's grace to sort itself out, and the lowest place SL club which is already in SL at the start of the season loses it's place to the winner of the Championship?
And stop this obsession with expanding the game artificially! Sure, give new clubs all the help we can, but let's be realistic. Some areas just aren't going to support a SL club overnight. Get them into the Championship and let them develop naturally, building support etc as they grow. If they grow.

The only time I'm REALLy bothered about SL is when it is on the box! As an entertainment it really takes some beating.

I would like to see the development teams do well for the good of the game but it's not a model I, amongst others, am truely happy with.

I can't believe in a system that rewards FAILURE and that is what SL in it's current form does!

Eh? Apart from possibly Gateshull (I don't know their history) and Paris years ago, when has this happened?

Celtic follow your pattern and have grown on their own and Catalans have decades of history behind them as UTC, it's not like either were wet behind the ears when they won their place in SL.

I understand your post though, Fax should be in SL without doubt. The likes of Wakey, Salford and even Saints should make way for them should the promises of new stadiums fail to materialise.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



Although superleague is a closer competition this year, my opinion is that its gone boring and is now nery similarly to the NRL from 5 years ago.

With the 5 "wrestle tackles" and then a kick, I,m not sure if we are going to see any skills developing sufficiently to compete at international level.

Also this season we have enormous pressure on the referees by the players and the subjective rule interpetration, which results in games that do not flow and appears to generally favours the weaker team.

4 years ago we saw some fantastic superleague, this season I,m struggling to think of any "truly classic games" so far.

So the question....is the level playing field the result of the salary cap working or has the game changed and becoming sterile.
