Steady on there. You'll get your chance to prove your worth in the championship soon enough. Settle down!

Nope because super league is not really played on the field, as apparently results do not count for much these days.

Anyway looking forward to our Championship tour.

If that was true you wouldn't be posting bitter claptrap like this.

Sorry how is it claptrap? There is still just under one more year before the next set of Franchise start, the announcement is still months away for a SL club, and currently mid table with not even a 50% win rate, but still must be deserved of your SL place due to your shiny stadium.

And if we must talk about youth set up on Friday night before the main game we beat Saints, not that Sky would be telling you that otherwise it would make us look to good!

Don't drag us into your petty feuds. We've got enough trouble with our own mediocrity without having to get dragged into yours. The trophy helps but in the here and now we've got problems of our own.

This 'shiny stadium' didn't help us gain a licence in 2008. Why do you think that is?

Settle down lad we know Belle Vue has seen better days our new stadium has been called in but hopefully it will come back as a yes then its fully funded all systems go. As for everthing else our community team is top class good youth set up good business potential within the City of Wakefield and most importantly a new chairman who knows what he is doing. As for efield where you from kings cross

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



An interesting take on Widnes's performance and their overall position from a batley fan after yesterdays match

Quote: " Jim Bergerac ,A number of the Widnes players will certainly be on big money. Former SL regulars like Gardner and Heckenberg will not come cheap, and guys like Thackeray and Ropati (who, incidentally, is robbing a living on the basis of his family name) will also command big wage packets.
To be quite honest though, I'm seriously concerned about their prospects for the rest of this season, as the side we faced today looked seriously dispirited and demoralised, and showed no character whatsoever. I'd say that around 90% of the side that took the field at our place today have already been given the nod that they won't be given contracts for next season, and subsequently they'll be mentally going through the motions and picking up guaranteed money for the rest of 2011.
We actually had the weakest team that I've seen us field in several seasons today (thanks to injuries), and we still wiped the floor with an experienced Widnes side. That in itself should say something about the spirit in the Widnes ranks at the moment.'"

"I know guys that pay £25 for a facial up north" "If that season review DVD was an A-level entry, it'd fail":15996.jpg



I'm just glad I took Batley +6 on the coupon. Widnes are worth opposing most weeks at the moment. You'd think players going out of contract would want to make themselves look good in the shop window?

A totally weird situation though , normally only clubs going down have players in this situation , this is the first time its happened the other way , they seem to start ok , but as soon as pressure is applied they seem to crumble , be interesting to see how they cope with Fax on thursday ? , as from yesterdays performance , they are close to getting things back on track

I'll be taking Fax to win a close game
