Are people still rising to the bait of this fool? cant you all see he just does it for a wind up? he's a superleague fan he wouldn't know a rugby league game if it kicked him up the 'arris', he's just another blowhard who thinks rugby league is under 20 years old as a sport.

Yes however the gulf between what a newly promoted team should spend within its means in year one and what the established SL teams can afford to spend and still just break even is unfair. If a newly promoted team was spending its money on the next Tomkins, Bateman et al I wouldn't be so bothered but history shows they don't do they; KRs first season in SL should highlight that all too well

When I backed two leagues of ten, I meant one 'Super League', for want of a better phrase, and a league below, where clubs could be developed as potential 'SL' members, with many of the current 'Licensing' criteria in place. (as long as the 'SL' clubs met them too) I would see the aim of that second league, to develop 'British', and only British perhaps, players.

Thrush do you really think that players like Sam and the rest would leave a successfull club just for a few bucks. You talk some tripe mr/mrs. I have now engaged you in conversation and broken my rule so no more. Starbug and some more are right you just spout rubbish. You don't wear rose tinted specs youerar welding goggles.

You believe that referees are biased towards certain towns: enough said about your credibility on anything RL. A riposte from someone else might continue the discussion. You might as well carry on spouting your claptrap elsewhere.

Isn't that fundamentally where we find ourselves now only the teams below can't fund themselves to bridge the gap to the league above?
My ultimate issue here is that of player pool: if Chp clubs were given 500k funding... they'd just give the same poor-ordinary players more money and that money would be wasted
