Did you know that a local bethlehen farmer brought a fourth gift to baby Jesus? It was a bowl of lobby. This fact got lost in the scribes and never made it to Matthew 2:11

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

Unfortunatley the farmer had put carrots in the lobby , and baby jesus , or John Woods as he later became known prefered his lobby without the orange vegetable

In 2 years time you'll see why we're a giant.

If you only knew the POWER of the dark side.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17123.jpg



Quote: J20 "General rule is the equivilant to 3 losses. Hence Widnes & Keighley 9 points, Crusaders will / should be 9 pretty straightforward!

Footballs seem's to vary from 9-30 depending on how debts are settled and who / how new owners come into place.'"
Psst.
3 losses=6 points.

Just to point out the in the Championship the punishment is actually much harsher than the one that will be dished out Crusaders. When Widnes were deducted 9 points this was in a season of 18 league games so the punishment was 9 out of a possible 54 points available = 16.67%. Crusdaers will get 6 points out of a possible 54 = 11.11%. In the interests of fairness shouldn't SL sides be deducted proportionally the same as a Championship club? As Starbug points out - not that a points deduction really matters to a SL club though.

Quote: Catalancs "Hopefully you crowds will pick up. I'm sure they will.'"


of coure the crowds wil pick up due to : a) probably about 90% travelling/visiting supporters (except Catalans & Quins) and b)10% ish through increased local interest - the Vikings fan base won't actually increase that much so when they revert back to the Championship the crowds will be back to 2000ish -
