Of course you won't criticise the RFL, hardly a surprising stance. As for "shallow, paranoid, bitter and twisted".... we can't compete.

Back on topic, maybe Salford City Reds should be taken over by the other "Red Devils" to create a Barcelona style club with multiple sports under the same banner?

I'll don my asbestos clothing to prepare for being burned as a heretic....

I think we should reduce to 10 teams and put Bradford, Salford, Wakefield and Widnes in the championship. The quality of Super League would improve and we could probably up the cap a bit as well. We really don't look good with top flight clubs getting into financial difficulties so regularly

Egg on face

Where the f*** have we inherited you from

It's classed as RFL support.

Where does it say the RFL have "poured" allegedly £1m into London?

Not that I'm saying they shouldn't - the Broncos are a flagship club with unique challenges who should get all the help, financial and non-financial, that the RFL can give them.

As things are at the moment, why would you pick those two clubs before huddersfield and hkr?.
Bradford are a protected species so thats a bit silly of you.

Even with their slump at the end of last season Hudds still finished 7th. Losing them would adversley impact the quality of the league. Hull KR are usually up their too they have just had a bad season. Their clash with Hull FC is one of the leagues highlights too. Bradford went into administration, loads of people said they should have gone so it's hardly silly. We want teams who are either performing well, have a bit of money or are outside the heartlands. Bradford fall into none of those categories. It's a shame though, they do have a marketable product.

the first poster said bailed out financially....I was backing him up.

If I'm not mistaken Bradford would have finished above Huddersfield if it hadn't been for their 6 point deduction. Bradford are one of the most successful teams of SL with far bigger support & potential than the others. How is the salary cap going to be increased with fewer games, supporters, income?

Bradford might have finished a point above Hudds because Hudds had an off season and Bradford had that purple patch around the time they went into administration but generally Hudds have been the better side. I'll bet you £50 that Huddersfield will finish above Bradford in 2013 if you like? I wouldn't have fewer games, everyone can play each other thrice instead of twice. Attendances would be up because the average game would be higher quality and more important due to the top 5 play off. The cap could be raised because it would only need to be at a evel that the 6 richest could afford rather than the top 10 or so.
