Good, how is Sean Gleeson going at the reds this season out of interest?, he was poor for us last season.

Interesting thoughts on Wakefield.

So you haven't finished bottom, but how many times have you breached the cap rules thereby allowing to to sign and retain players you couldn't afford?

How many times have you entered formal insolvency ?

These things make a difference as it can be seen to detract from the reputation of a sport.

the ground/stadium criteria may just have saved Salford plus our financial prudence. Most teams have a great history including teams such as Featherstone but no one will award a new licence based on that.

Just read the long article on Wakefield... "of the aims in setting up SL was a newtwork of city teams" ... Goodbye Wigan, St Helens, Warrington, Castleford, and Wrexham. Hello Blackburn, Liverpool, Chester, a third Hull, and St Asaph.

Are you sure Blackburn is a city? Good news for Lancaster, anyway (and for York over the hills).

Blackburn is indeed a town.
