If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

I also would use the Newcastle name, they are passionate about the city and sport. If it could be linked to the Football club as well, all the better. People who don't know the area, don't realise just what a big step crossing the Tyne is, either way, they are poles a part...
A team of magpies would fly I'm sure.....

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "This is in the category of dreamtime perhaps, but imagine a Super League bereft of Widnes and Castleford, which did have [iNewcastle, London, Bradford[/i, and [iToulouse[/i.
Wow!
People from the non-M62 parts of the world, especially journalists, might then stop sneering at Super League.'"
You talk about the non-M62 parts of the country and then suggest Bradford .. Have you seen a map of the UK at all????
Why Bradford over Castleford or Widnes? What makes them more worthy? 3 towns/cities that are all sitting on the M62 so why suggest that dumping 2 of them in favour of one that has shown no greater ability to successfully manage a team in recent years? |

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Meanwhile watch the four PNG players start smashing the defenses of the other Championship One clubs. Winger Garry Lo in particular -- the next Marcus Bai -- is going to accumulate a lot of tries. These PNG players are a cut above the playing standard of Championship One.
I fully expect a steady stream of young PNG talents will want to join their compatriots at Newcastle/Gateshead before too long.'"
Interesting point. There is quite a conveyor-belt of talent in PNG. |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

With the open promotion surely all teams are now aiming for SL.
Aiming and getting there are two completely different things

Call me a detective but if you go on to their squad page the tab at the top of the web browser changes to Newcastle Thunder ...

Stanley Gene is the magnet, and as such can lure and inspire more players from PNG than anyone else.
I hope that Gateshead-Newcastle has quality in all the key players in the spine, and good props other than 106 kg Mark Mexico, so that the likes of the flying 106kg express train winger Garry Lo can do their stuff.
The PNG centre Tali clocks on at 98 kg but his centre partner Joseph Brown registers only 82kg, which is flimsy lightweight for a centre.
What I am suggesting here is that perhaps Gateshead's prospects will depend too much on the talent of the PNG players. |
