Im still waiting for you to leave RLFANS forever. Your word clearly means nothing.

| Hopefully Wakefield 'we are now an established top five club' Trinity will lose their remaining games and take the dreaded drop. They should've been relegated years ago when licencing was brought in. How they got one with that shambles of a 'ground' is anyones guess.

After yet another of your incisive posts I've come to the conclusion you are Bill Murray, & I claim my £5.
You forgot the "blaming the Ref" stuff b.t.w.

Wasn't it the last minute collapse of the crusaders that ultimately saved their bacon. Not that I'm looking to engage in Trinity bashing I hasten to add!

He's correct, is this yet another poster you intend to stalk and make snide comments towards because they post things you don't like? You're really sad at times.

I'm unsure why being a Bradford fan would be of relevance to the final round of Superleague franchising. What element of that franchising do I need to "let go"?
Anyway, it was a relatively widespread understanding at the time that Wakefield were to lose their superleague licence, but late in the day the Crusaders meltdown meant that they had a reprieve. If I'm mistaken about that then that's fine, I have no agenda against Wakefield.

| My money a few weeks ago would have been on London to go down.
Hull kr though seem to be closer to the mix, which was a surprise a few weeks after their win over Leeds.

That was the script taken by fans of other clubs and the media line building up to the decision but was rumour and suggestion rather than fact. After the franchises were announced someone at the RFL (I forget whom) said in an interview that Wakefield's bid was not the weakest. The media and fans of other clubs tend to ignore this and like to peddle the line that Wakefield only survived due to Crusader's demise (which conveniently suits their agenda).
HTH.

In that case, I apologise if I'm mistaken. As I say, I have no agenda. I've deleted the other off-topic angst posts so we can all start afresh as best mates.....

And does not look particularly wild either.
For what it's worth, I think Huddersfield are in the biggest mess. Two very big games coming up and a very young squad, although the Rovers and Broncos game will be a compelling watch.
For those who like maths, if Rovers and London lose their next games (Catalan away and Leeds at home respectively), Wakey are safe unless they get cricket scores against them, as the loser of the game the week after (Hull KR v London) will be still on 18 points, with one game to go and with a points difference that is even more horrendous than it is now, following two losses.
