| Quote: JWP "Yeah, me too, and for John Kear. I wonder if he regrets turning down the Catalans job now, he must have had his reasons.
I'd like to see Halifax come back, I miss trips to The Shay that said, I'm not sure at the expense of who really, I think all the teams in the competition right now add something to it in different ways.'"
I thought it was Catalans not willing to pay a release fee to Wakey that was the stumbling block.

Monitoring outside for the people inside: |

| I don't think Superleague could have put up with the massive dummy spit that would have resulted from them being denied.
Cue the whispering in Myler's ear.

| Oh good, another poor advert for Superleague.
Promoting a team that lost at home to Hunslet and were hammered at Leigh in the last 2 weeks. What exactly will they bring to superleague that last season's Featherstone team could'nt?
Just bring back promotion and relagation, and lets stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

I wish I could argue with you about that but the way you lot are playing at the moment we'll be lucky to get up to speed during the first season.
Still be fun though.

| Come on Live Wired, surely you can see the benefit of having Weirdness back in the big time. They have met a criteria which is fit and proper for Superleague. £1m turnover, 2500 avg crowds, recent finals etc. They also have a fit for purpose stadia, and a good youth set up.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Feverstone cannot offer any of those (other than getting to one final).

Plus anyone who names their stadium after that fat pillock doesn't deserve a franchise.

| Whta daft decision to Let Widnes back into SL. They'll need to buy a whole new team based on their current squad who'll probably come from the team that loses its license ie, Wakefield.
Replace average with average + a few OAP Aussies = Wooden Spoon

As with any other side making the jump £300k cap up to £1.8M
Anyway with 4 academy internationals in the squad, journeymen need not apply

Based on what I've seen of Halifax I think their squad + a few additions would compete in SL. Shame the RFL didn't take rugby ability into the equation.

Met a criteria? Nicely worded phrases to ensure that Harlequins and Crusaders had an advantage...lets not fool ourselves.
Could'nt really give a toss what a ground looks like or how many cupcakes are sold at halftime. I only give a toss about the quality of rugby league on offer at the highest level. On last season's performances, the quality was far higher at Halifax, Barrow and Featherstone.
Anyway, 1st game of the season, Widnes vs Wigan live on Sky.

| Is it true that Widnes had a turnover of £2 million? that's fantastic if true.
