| Quote: The_Wolfman "What about the fact that championship teams get players for nothing and can then invest any saved money in advertising, youth development and improving the stadia??? Or with they not invest it wisely
They don't have money to invest. Most are spending as much as (probably more than) they can actually afford already. How exactly do DRs save them this vast quantity of money, apart from a few win bonuses, to be investing?

| Quote: Starbug "No rules have been broken duffymoon , in fact Swinton could have done exactly this last season , there are 2 issues that have brought us to this
1 st , the SL clubs [ not Warrington apparently ] voting to drop their ' reserve ' grade competition
2 nd , the RFL creating the ' league of death ' or Championship 1 as it is better known
I actually think Warrington are making a point with this , unfortunatly I can see several others following suit , and I do have considerable sympathy for Swinton and John Kidd , he is desperatly trying to keep a sports club alive living as ' nomads ' until he can return it to its true home , an incredibly difficult thing to do for just a few years , let alone as long as it has now taken
So , continue to follow your club , you are needed , and dont be so hard on them , they have little choice but to take advantage of every opportunity to survive , we dont need anymore Bramleys or Blackpools'"
Unfortunately money talks and unless chairmen start to see a drop in income this 'scheme' will continue to the detriment of all but the SL clubs. The easiest and probably the most effective way to show what you think is to boycott games. I'll certainly not be putting cash in to the coffers of any club involved in this - and that'll mean missing visiting some great places and not seeing a few old friends.
Do you honestly believe if Swinton do get their own ground they'll be in any state to stand independently after a few years as Warrington's reserves? They're more likely to go down the Bramley route.......

| Richard Moore and Kylie Leuleui to face Leigh this weekend. It has now become a competition between the 'partner' clubs to see who can manage the biggest p1sstake.

rlKylie Leuluai and Richard Moore have signed dual-registration contracts with Hunslet.rl
Wasn't the spirit of DR & partner- club arrangements to give CC & CC1 game time experience to SL's younger players ?
who's next - Adrian Morley in the next Swinton Game ?

Well Swinton already had Paul Wood and Tyrone McCarthy on Sunday so it can't be ruled out! Wonder if Sinfield fancies a run out for Hunslet on Sunday as well?

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

If they are coming back from a long injury then they could well do.

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 |

I hope you don't include me in that, I held my hands up and conceded defeat last week.

It isn't just Swinton and their fans , 1stly , because they wont be the only club to do this , most of the rest will now follow , and 2ndly , it affects the credibility of the whole competition and all the clubs in it'"
It could be a ploy to get rid of the Twinned teams , and make SL into a 16 team comp.

Even smokey admitted he wasnt overly happy with this last week , but many have been conspicuous by their absence
So sponsored by an alcoholic drink nobody has heard of , plus no mention of ' How much ' , this abomination and the further de valuing by having the Championships finals at stadiums the fans get to visit on a regular basis
The stupidity of both the RFL and the club owners is truly outstanding

If you are going to repeat yourself, you could maybe point out who had called you paranoid?

| Apart from the obvious prostitution of the Championship league by skint SL clubs why not find the positives in this scheme? It may just make the Hunslets and the Dewsburys more competitive. It may just make games more interesting. If there's nothing to stop short sighted Chairmen from doing this lets just see how it pans out over the next couple of years.
One thing's for sure - Workington will finish fifth with all those Widnes players.
