| Quote: JENKY "Added a bit to Matts piece which to me is the important bit.
Admittedly in football the last bit is easier to alter as they still have the promotion and relegation, however I'm not convinced that we will still have franchising in 5 years time or that SL won't be 2 Divisions but I think at the moment we have to aspire as high as possible.
Ours would be to be the best club in our division...
Off field - with the highest gates, most sponsors and best day out money can buy with a visit to the LSV seen as a 'most do' come matchday.
On Field - to win the League , League Play offs, NRC and to go as high as possible in the Challenge Cup.
If we keep doing well on field and work very very hard off field then that movement will happen as no-one will want to keep a success down.
The important bit is not standing still and accepting what just went as success, last years team did terrific , but it wasn't good enough, last years crowds rose (again) but it wasn't good enough - aim to go one better this year.'"
I agree with you we need to build year on year strive to be the best we can raise the bar find the next Ian Millward,Chris Hill, Jamie Ellis etc etc but do it with a budget and dont sell out for a dream that wont ever happen. |

I am entitled to my opinion.
If you want to pull the wool over your own eyes and live a pipe dream then so be it some of us are realists.
When Ian Millward came to the UK in the late 90s do you think he believed he could pick up a small town team and take them to the summit of world RL and world club championship glory????..............Stepping stone ta achieve his dreams! Had he not had off the field problems we would never have seen the guy again. It was either a decent paid assistant role in Aus or a well paid head coach role in Championship with a decent budget and squad and a realistic chance to land a SL job again no brainer.
Do you think Murphy came here from Saints in 69/70 thinking he could make Leigh the household name in world RL. Yes he won a Challenge Cup and Championship in 82 but reality is Warringto flash the cash bigger town bigger club................Stepping stone!
did you read your post beforev you pushed submit?.what a stupid post.
All greats will reach the top eventually we will never be at the top we need to identify the potential greats and ride on the back of there sucess for a couple of years and slowly build a steady club without overspending. Thats the way i see it as realist. We wont ever be a Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Bradford, Warrington dare i say it a Widnes.
Get real.'" did you read your post before you pushed submit?you should have done cos thats up ther with the most stupid posts ever |

Please just explain this in more detail for JC.
I think he must read Roy of the Rovers 
Rochdale and Oldham would love to be us we would love to be Saints or Warrington.
The only way we will ever mix again with that company and COMPETE for more than one season is if a serious ammount of money came through the door. |

Why do you need three question marks and why do you end a sentence without a full stop?.
Doesn't really matter tho cos thats not what we're talking about is it? |

You choose firstly to call me a Pr1ck for having an opinion.
Then you choose to slate a post as stupid without even so much as offering a reason as to why.
The youth of today...............

Have you had a beer tonight, John?! The only clubs in rugby league who aren't a stepping stone are Wigan, Leeds and Saints, and even then they've got no chance if the NRL or rugby union come calling for players or coaches. Does this make Super League a 'feeder league', even rugby league a 'feeder sport'? There will always be bigger clubs ready to take our best players, but likewise we do it to the smaller clubs by signing their best players, and in return we get the ones not quite good enough for Super League, and our released players are safe in the knowledge that there is a level waiting for them.

Luakiki left Hull for Wigan in search of trophies. When you leave Leeds, Wigan or Saints, you're either going to the NRL or your career is on it's way down. |

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 |
