These lower level clubs that run on the smell of an oily rag need to stop their pie in the sky dreaming and have a dose of reality. A club playing on a field surrounded by picket fences, that is run by family and friends, that hold raffles to raise money to buy the jerseys for next year and who loses players to weddings, birthday parties and holidays is not ever going to make Super League.
Never.
Never ever!'"
Wow man!!!! You really are quite a piece of work. I just get this warm fuzzy feeling everytime I read one of your posts. Your family, friends, workmates, neighbour's must really love your gentle nature.  |

Kogarah?
Brookvale?
Redfearn?
Henson ParK
etc., etc.
So the Aussies did not play on fields behind "picket fences" !!
Hmmm.
It's amazing how history can be changed  
PS don't forget the field with the BIGGEST picket fence!!!

| You know what, you are right.
The SGC used picket fences in the early 1900's so any Rugby League club in England that uses them right now is obviously a mega club in waiting.....

I think you're missing the point a bit. It isn't the natural, evolutionary growth of the game anyone has a problem with, and a lot of your post is absolutely right; of course SL is the ultimate goal of many a championship player.
What seems unfair is the deliberate bias against clubs from traditional RL areas, in favour of clubs with no history, tradition or fanbase. Sure, help them along, but from the bottom up, not the top down.

Or do it properly from the top down , but that costs , a lot , and the point being who should pay for it
The clubs at the bottom ?, or the clubs at the top ? |

I can undertand that for clubs with SL aspirations that this may seem like the light going out at the end of the tunnel but it doesn't have to be. Here clubs in the NSW cup, Q'land cup linked with NRL teams attract better players as the youngsters want to play for teams that put them in the shop window for top teams. A team performing well in the championship with a strong team of youngsters and SL team reserve/returning players has just as good a chance when franchise time comes around.
I am hoping the WA Reds can form a partnership next season with a NRL team to strengthen our club, allow us to move up a level and put us in a stronger position come expansion time. I see no reason why the same can't happen in the championships.

Nope but the same could apply to any Q'land or NZ team with aspirations to move up to the NRL when opportunity arises |

| Rugby League started in Huddersfield in 1895.
In 2009, the RFL is finally giving support to clubs outside of Yorkshire and Lancashire.....and you idiots are whinging about it! |
