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.

If the RFL told them win everything on the pitch, then they'd have invested more in the playing squad, but they weren't! So you can't blame them for this, it's who set that criteria.

AJ , don't blame the RFL for you having ' Cack ' players and teams  , you've invested as much as you could , don't pretend you haven't  |

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

Like it or not Lovegrove is as English as he is Australian and qualifies for our national team just as much as say Kevin Sinfield. He may have been born, raised and trained in Australia but he classes as home grown due to technicalities in the rules and/or dispensation given by the RFL. '"
Yeah but he's crap though. It's all very well and good qualifying to play for England if you're rubbish. I do that. |

You OD'ing on those bitter pills Jonny? Sense has gone out the window with you lately.
Leigh's recent ignorance of what Widnes have achieved off the field in the past 3 years may explain how your set up is! FFS you turned us over Sunday and you were moaning about the biggest by a distance away turn out you'll see in Champ all season. If your crowd for Widnes can only really match ours for Hunslet you may have more issues then you think! |

And your ignorance of what Leigh have done to Widnes ON the field is equally staggering. |

I dont think he is ignorant towards it at all. We were thumped well and truly but as you know that has no bearing on the bigger picture (I wouldnt have thought)
Franchises were brought in to reward the best clubs not the best teams. It has been said many times thats not Widnes's fault we are just playing to the rules that have been set out. We havent even been given the nod, we may well not do, but we are the only team who have "ticked all the boxes". |

Quite correct Chris , but for beating you lot twice when we were ' Cack ' we'd have been relegated a couple of weeks earlier 
It all just shows what a great on field competition you are leaving , pity nobody is that bothered about it in the towns it is played in
Chill out , only 2 days to go |

I think Widnes should have been in SL years ago, I also think under the current rules they should go up this time. If you take the time to read what people have said you might realise that I was actually replying to a point that someone else made about being short sighted. It wasn't a pop at Widnes, it was a pop at the RFL's daft rules. If you want to get defensive because you've got a poor team, fire away, but like a Widnes fan has already stated, you will have a brand new squad next year anyway.
