| Now that the championship clubs have been sold down the river by the R.F.L. perhaps they can give the Northern rail cup to the grasping Wigan chairman Leneghan , and then he could melt it down and pop the proceeds intothe Super league pot to be shared out by them

As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

| It is senseless to scrap the competition 12 months before any potential new structure for the game will come into play - 2014 (as far as anyone knows!!) will be exactly the same format as 2013...so why scrap it now???
If this decision is anything to do with the attendance for this years final, then maybe someone needs to get their head from up their ar$e, and realise that a final played at Halifax (nice enough venue that it is) was hardly going to be the same 'draw' as the now, well established day (or indeed weekend!!) at the seaside!!
From our own point of view - the format of the comp changed this season anyway - to reflect the increase in teams in the championship - so all we have lost out on is 'potential' revenue from one guaranteed fixture (as all Champ clubs entered at the KO stage of the comp........this loss could easily be made up from a couple more lucrative pre-season games against meaningful opposition, with a decent following!!
It's the Ch.1 clubs who've been kicked in the spuds over this, as they had the group games (with chance to get to a final).....now all they have is a 16 game season (plus play-offs.....unless the CH/CH1 GF's are also to be given the elbow!!), and maybe a couple of CC games if they are lucky!!!
After briefly - with the release of their recently comissioned report on the future of the sport - looking like they finally had a bit of professionalism in the administration, the RFL returns to what it does best....utter shambles!!!
I think it only right and proper though, that as four time winners, and current holders, we retain the trophy in perpetuity.....to sit alongside the Trans Pennine Cup, of which we are also the current holders, in our trophy cabinet at the LSV.......assuming someone remembers packing it when we de-camped Hilton Park!!

| Don't know exactly when the official RFL statement was issued
rlhttp://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/29115/rfl-statement-northern-rail-cuprl
but it looks from the tone of it that there might be a bit of backtracking here !
All might not be lost yet !

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

IRN-BRU - THE NEW TASTE OF RUGBY LEAGUE !!:10619.jpg |
|
| p!ss up and brewery immediately spring to mind.
BTW has a new revised date been set by the Super League clubs for the EGM to ratify the exciting new proposals that will drive the sport forward? We all know when the world cup is due to end.
I have my 2014 ST money burning a hole in my pocket right now.
I am sorry but the game is a complete farce.

Did they say they'd review it after The World Cup ends, or after England's participation in the World Cup ends??......based on yesterdays performance, they could safely set a date straight after the quarter finals!!
