| That you sack players because you can and you demean a competetion, is it fair no, it could now change the overall positions the rest will finish in. IMHO you are ruining what is and has been a very competitive league so far.

Reason given was performance related, I agree could have simply dropped them, but what difference would that make to the league from this?
Same players your lot put 50 in so your point is kind of redundant! Maybe Leythers should stop acting like every decision made by every group or club is against them?

Ruining the league?! How so? We'll still be putting a team out against Fax tomorrow night, how does this effect anything or anyone else? And we haven't sacked anybody thank you, read it properly before you used terms you've made up.

| Dick Jones if we were letting players go and fielding an entire academy side you may have a point but... Were not!

| Quote: Leaguefan "Dosn't this kind of thing show up the whole "franchising" thing in all it's glory.
Will the Widnes "faithfull" still watch a "poor" team lose this season?
Will they achieve the 7000 membership they are looking for based on not knowing who will be playing next season?
We still have 2 months to find out if any team is being removed from SL and in that 2 months Wakey or whoever could go on and not lose a game.
And a team who cannot get a win at all costs in the championship and perilously near the bottom could be "relegated" into SL because they qualify

Your board? This Moderation award has gone to your head sonny.
I thought i'd miss it - but i don't. It's surprising how tiring it can be - constantly bagging Widnes and i've had three good years. It seems WireWonder is causing you far more grief than i ever did - that's Super League for ya

| If Widnes/Halifax or future franchise teams were to finish bottom, would the 2nd to bottom side be relegated?

| Quote: Old Viking "Wakefield survived in SL, and that is the best I can say. The RFL set the rules and if you look at some of the things that have been said by the RFL over the years you will find that the RFL's vision of SL was a good setup at every level from the Facilities that a club could offer and a solid youth programme.
Widnes' success at reserve and Academy level has been outstanding and the idea of the Viking Stronghold is one that will be copied by other clubs. [The club is not looking for 7000 members this year but rather next year or the year after].
Widnes is a small town, unlike the City of Wakefield, and carries more than its weight in RL circles.
So don't make stupid criticisms of the system that allowed you to survive as long as you did and of a club that has now benefited from the same system.'"
Don't jump to conclusions or it may make you look stupid
