Quote: deeHell "I think in the midst off the 1983 Champagne style celebrations of winning a one off friendly against ourselves some of you have fallen into the disillusionment of actually thinking your as good as the bottom few team in SL at present. Your overrating of your own teams ability is blinding the obvious from you. That is that this system will make it harder for yourselves to gain promotion to SL. Even with an attempt to close the funding gap the situation will be no more near parity as it needs to be. The best chance you would have is the play off for the 4th spot but considering your clubs recent history of choking in these games I wouldn't fancy your chances, maybe those games performances are enough to suggest your along way off the mark for SL?'"
Featherstone have been the most consistent team outside of SL.for the past four years. They knocked Cas out of the challenge cup and gave Wigan an almighty fright in the following round. They are steadily building on and off the field on a most professional way. They also have several multi millionaire directors and one with money coming out of his ears just waiting for P&R to get the go ahead. To write them off in this new structure would be unwise.
