Quote: Leeeigh Leeeigh "You know Celtic can't compete with clubs like us, by the same rules as us. Its obvious. Unyet they still get bitter comments like the other thread on here, when they are basically achieving at least similar to ourselves when we was in SL, if not better.
Every success they have negetive comments are made about they have different rules etc. Unyet nothing is said about benefits we have which they don't.As for devaluing the comp. Celtic as you know would not be in SL now had they not got promoted into our league. They then rubber stamped their inclusion for SL by being 2nd best team too.
Anyway its all been said many times......'"
Are those benifits set by the RFL , or are they the result of decades of work by many people from our towns
You cannot artificially ' even things up ' , it is impossible , to even try is madness
It takes time , lots of it , there is no easy fix that does not impound upon the existing clubs , but as I said earlier , the RFL have no interest in those clubs
We know we cannot replicate what we have in football , perhaps we shouldn't want to as they have their own problems
The problem is not hard to find , it is money , or the lack of it
The RFL know this and are trying to follow the RU ' model ' of building an International money making structure
Which in itself is fine , but in the meantime they are neglecting the heartland clubs outside SL , their efforts so far to build up the competitions are laughable , they have no idea's other than the ones they are trying in SL
A foreign trip and a poor relation MM weekend in Blackpool
As I have posted on other boards , it is probably now time to look at what benifits the TV deal has produced if any
Unfortunatley the RFL in their quest for ' Positivity at all times ' will say it has been a great success and sign us up again for another 3/4 years on the same deal
