If that was the ONLY reason then surely every team apart from Leeds would be joint top ?

How did you manage to finish top last season as defending champions then - it's not possible!


Maybe you should start taking results on the chin instead of making excuses and going back to "any result against us doesn't matter 'cos we're champions"

A Widnes fan???!!!

Mate I couldn't even point Widnes out on a map!

Have you watched the Saints-Wigan game? The quality is there to see.

yeah did you see the amount of dropped ball? I think it was moore (though i think stevo called it as cunningham) who managed to pass the ball from dummy half into touch from about 20 yards in, I saw a defence against a Lueluai run which an under 8s team would have been embarrassed about.

A great game, exciting, but in terms of quality it was pretty poor.

Meh

Likewise, its a good thing that fixtures cannot be easily predicted and long may it last.

Well done Crusaders

Well done Crusaders.

If Leeds are true Champions (or the like) they'll bounce back.

Fantastic result great for the Crusaders and perversly great for the game as it shows on their day anyone can beat anyone.

It is impossible to compare the so called ' quality ' of games with the constant changing of the rules and the interpretation of rules we have

As for the Crusaders beating Leeds , well , it's not unusual for a team full of Aussies to win on English soil is it , they are basically Gateshead Thunders mark 2 , and could quite easily go the same way as the original

funny how you dont level the same accusations at Hull KR who are £3m in debt and have produced 1 first team player, and are looking to employ their 10th overseas player next year, despite having a dispensation for their first 3 years and this being their 5th year in SL

or Wakefield who have sold their ground, owed hundreds of thousands to the tax man, and have 10 overseas players in their squad despite this being their 11th year in SL

this is despite these two clubs having two of the most fertile amateur areas on their doorstep.

It seems strange, but totally in your character to expect higher standards of a developing expansion club than you do of heartland clubs

Funny how you dont bother with any research

Well done, wouldn't say it needs its own thread though.

my apologies, it should have said that, rather than this.

Funny how your only repost was based on a typo rather than any principle, well not really.......its kind of expected
