You don't work for the RFL do you?

I would rather we had an extra couple of teams with Fax joining Widnes. But Wakefield imho have had more than enough opportunity to develop BV or get out. Imho the cocked a deaf un to the RFL for far too long and only when the RFL grew some and decided that they would get serious about their ground did Wakey start to act.

It doesn't have to be the end for them if they are demoted. They will have three years to develop a ground (I do feel grounds are important and I don't think I am alone given how crowds have grown when clubs get decent stadium) and get stability ready for a new application in much the same way Widnes have.

Crusaders would be the other team in danger for me. You only have to look on the thread started by one of their fans to see all is not well. But 16 months after their move north is not sufficient to be kicking them out just yet. If the South Wales team develop a stable footing in the next 3 years then Crusaders might be in danger.

As for not enough talent. The Championship has some cracking players who would love the opportunity to have a crack at SL give them a chance. We also have loads of players playing in the U20s who need to play a better standard of rugby to develop. By having the additional club(s) they might just surprise one or two and in time the Aussie journeyman might disappear.

...so you voted for HKR then?

Given who I support that would be a dream come true.

Wakefield: Gone bankrupt countless times, poor on-field, low crowds
Crusaders: Wales rugby league on the up after qualifying for the four nations and co-hosts for 2013 world cup


or you could just as easily put....

crusaders... recently in financial trouble, poor on field( unless its good friday lol) low crowds
wakefield..english rl on the up after getting into 4 nations and co hosting world cup in 2013....

one thing that really needs to happen is that once decisions are made, a league table of bids strongest to weakest needs to be drawn up with tangible reasons why each bid is ranked where it is.

How many did Warrington win between 1974 and 2009?

If you look at the records Huddersfield have won more honours that Warrington, who biggest claim to fame was making the chap who polished their trophies redundant after 35 years service.

How many times have Warrington beat Huddersfield this season, soft lad?

Are we not showing constant improvement in this area. Yesterday we gave two academy lads their debut's. with one of them putting in a MotM performance. Our U18's are also unbeaten in 3 games having beating Saints and trouncing Wigan.

Didnt you say earlier it should be based on the league table?

While we are in the habit of asking searching questions... why are you “a person that does believe in the expansion of the game in the longer term”

I don’t mean the way the RFL are implementing their strategy which can be covered elsewhere, it would seem you are fundamentally opposed to the expansion of Rugby League at all. I am genuinely interested in why you believe this, I am not on a wind up?

The RFL did not set up the Celtic Crusaders.
The RFL did not change their name to Crusaders and move them grounds.
The RFL did not set up the South Wales Scorpions.

These clubs have owners who are not the RFL.

Great news. Can i set a club up in Super League called Halifax RLFC without letting the RFL know?

I'm not biased just get rid of HULL
