| Quote: Code13 "Indeed, the Franchise system is actually looking pretty damned rock solid really.
League is hugely competative with no one able to really call any match barring one or two, clubs introducing young players earlier and earlier, and without an injury crisis prompting it, more investment into youth development, long term planning going on, better preparation for next season sooner by established clubs, new clubs not having to risk all just in the hope of getting lucky in their first season.
It was a given that CC would struggle this season, maybe they have struggled more than people would like, but maybe thats down to Salford being more successful (on pitch) than many people thought? Not to mention the horror close season they endured that saw opening game team only having trained together once!
Something is indeed rotten in all this, but it isnt the Franchise system, and I suspect it isnt Celtics off field affairs.'"
correct - the inept management of one club does not mean that the franchise system doesnt work.
clubs have 2 years to prove they can handle life in SL - Celtic havent done so yet, but there is still plenty of time to turn things round. |

I agree with you, the franchise system seems to be a success. Teams like Huddersfield breaking into the top 4 and Wakefield and Castleford getting stronger year by year.
You cant argue though that the introduction of CC may have come at the wrong time. Even their chairman came out and said that. As it is a franchise system, i will only be able to comment in 2 years whether they have been a success or not.
Surely in this situation, if anything is wrotten, its their off the field antics? |

i do not know why you are blaming another poster for this when there are enough widnes fans doing it this is the 6th post on a thread on the Celtic board about their difficulties.

You're quoting someone who has been banned from the site and well hated amongst everyone. Hardly a representative of the level headed Widnes Rugby League fan. |

Nope, just the bitter narrow-minded Leigh, Widnes and Fax* fans like yourself.

I am prepared to accept that you are a reasoned and non bitter widnes fan however. |

Im embarrassed that the RFL ever thought they were an acceptable new franchise. I saw this coming a mile off. And now they're comparing them to Les Cats as if next year they'll magically be ok! Les Cats had a good stadium, financial backing that would be the envy of most SL clubs, a strong ready made RL fanbase, good grassroots of RL locally. Celtic had none of that. It drives me mad, and its the sort of thing that makes the aussies and rah rahs laugh at us. Incompetent.

More Knee-jerkery.
Just what this board needs.
