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 |

| Quote: SmokeyTA "the first 22 rounds are disregarded, thats not an opinion it is a fact. Every team will start again on 0 points.
And it is different from a play-off which you need to qualify for, and the position that you qualify in effects your route to the final. Again that isnt opinion it is fact.'"
So the positions after those 22 games are sorted alphabetically?
population?
combined shoe sizes?
points accumulated?
Quote: SmokeyTA "
and again you keep forgetting, possibly deliberately, that right now Fev have to try and be the best of a bunch of semi-pro sides who also get 0 funding and they were comfortably beaten by an SL basketcase. Under the new structure they will be competing with sides that get just over 3 times their funding, and if they get through that, they will be competing against teams who get three times the funding and probably three times the attendances, much much more in corporate and sponsorship.'"
Who is this basketcase team that beat us comfortably ???
And who is this Part time team you talk of, cant speak for other champ teams but Fev will be full time from 2015.
If Fev can't break the bottom four of super league so be it at least they may have the opportunity

I am not aware of any other structure in the world that part way through the season disregards previous points totals and starts a new league competition.'"
Yes and promotion and relegation is popular throughout the world as well
There have been several major competitions with more than 1 knock out group stage played on a league basis culminating in 1 final elimination match, so whats different?

Lol I mean the 22 games are not irrelevant, they sort out the positions in the league.
Quote: SmokeyTA "www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/match/rl3619046'"
Yet still better than many SL teams did against them last season
Quote: SmokeyTA "you can put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig. You can call Fev's squad full-time if you want. But that isnt a professional squad. '"
Getting paid full time to do a job is professional
Quote: SmokeyTA "Why? why does giving Fev an opportunity to be one of the worst sides in SL supersede the growth and stability of the game as a whole?'"
speculating again, you forgot to put "in your bias opinion"
Whywould Fev being in SL not help the growth of the game - go on real of another load of bull from your mind and speculation. look into your crystal ball you have and tell me our attendance would be crap because were from a hamlet. That we would end up skint and that players such as Hardaker, Burrows and briscoe still wouldn't play for us.

| Teams in the first and third tiers of the eight-club format will carry their points over from the first 23 rounds but the middle-tier teams will start from scratch.

Which one?
The NFL has a league then play off structure, the football world cup has a league then play-off structure, the Champions league has a league then play-off structure, as does the NBA, NHL, NRL, RUWC, RLWC.
The Cricket World cup has a very wierd system that kind of has two leagues parts of it but its universally derided as a pretty crappy system.

Its you who is confused, Celtic Crusaders and the Crusaders are/were 2 different clubs
One cheated by playing players on dodgy VISA s financed by RFL development grants and played in Bridgend
The other went bump playing out of Wrexham and didnt pay loads of its players wages
Roaring success's both wouldnt you say?

The football world cup has 2 group stages played on a league basis, it used to have 3 at one point, the Champions league had 2 also at 1 point

Quote: fevfan76 " Yet still better than many SL teams did against them last season'" not really, London were by far the worst team in SL last year and would have finished bottom if not for Salford appealing their punishment for having too many men on the field
Quote: fevfan76 "Getting paid full time to do a job is professional'" it takes more than that to be a pro RL player. As i said, you can call them pro if you want. But it doenst change the fact. If someone paid me to be an RL player, i still wouldnt make an professional RL player

Hardaker, Burrow and Brsicoe still wouldnt play for you for the same reason Greg Inglis doesnt play for leeds, because they have contracts elsewhere, and two of them have never played for you
