| Apart from the odd few here and there (like Wayne Rooney being a huge Leeds fan), most Scousers dismiss rugby league as a 'woolyback sport' so I would expect this to be a non-starter. I just don't think there would be enough interest in Liverpool.

| Best of luck to it and if they can make a success of it then happy days but having lived nearby for 29 years, I know what a challenge they face from the off.
Large populated areas isn’t an instant correlation to expansion success.
Like I have previously stated though, these 3 combined have a monumental wealth

| Me thinks this is a throw away line from somebody who has been told they cannot play in Widnes, and has replied "I'll take my ball to Liverpool, then".

| Liverpool has been surrounded by Rugby League heartlands for 125 years, and barring the odd blip has steadfastly shown zero interest. Where else can you think of that's been surrounded by RL and still couldn't be faffed to actually play it?

Fair point. I know I shouldn't regard Salford as Manchester but some part of my mind does. But in recognition of my error I'll now invest ÂŁ5 in Liverpool RL. I'm sure it will be absolutely boss.

| Quote Pumpetypump="Pumpetypump"I've often mused what the perfect conditions would be to set up a new Rugby League club. You look at how it's happened in the past and other variables and I've decided that what you definitely need is:
Set it up in a virgin area with little to no grassroots knowledge or interest in Rugby League (it's imperative not to have a thriving Amateur scene first).
Make sure you have fickle moneybags owners who will give up on the project quickly if it doesn't mysteriously work in year 2 or 3. The guys that were at Doncaster, Featherstone or Bridgend to name just a few, being the ones you need to mimic.
Try, if at all possible, to go into an area which views Soccer as close to a religion.'"
I'm genuinely interested in which bit of Doncaster's history you are referring to (or is it more than one)?

I'll look up the details a bit more but a few years ago you had a new bloke come in and pumped money into the club. Always liked Donny so when they were picking up the crowds and really looking on the cusp of making it I was chuffed. But then it appeared, like many before and since, that he pulled the plug. Did he just run out of money?

2008, Craig Harrison (player agent), Ellery Hanley resigned as coach on the day we got promoted after beating Oldham at Warrington.

Wow what a cockend
Funny really as Bradford Leeds Manchester London Sheffield all have much worse rates of robbery sexual offences and violent crime than Liverpool and making a joke or pun about a young lad getting shot just ain't funny or appropriate.
