A few month back on the VT some rabid poster was complaining how often we’d avoided the bullet and how we needed to be flushed out of SL. He/she stated that we must be the cat that’s used all it’s 9 lives. Much as I wanted to it was hard to argue with him/her.

So as a matter of interest just how many of our lives have we used up since we were last properly relegated in 1986/87 (I think).

Not just last day hobbies but must win games. For example I recall in 1989/90 season (I think) that we had to beat Halifax in the penultimate game. If we lost it would not have been possible to have overcome their superior points difference or something like that.

Over to you stats guys.

Celtic Crusaders last minute pulling out from bidding for a 2012 Super League licence.

Except Blake Solly debunked that myth when he said in an interview that Wakefield were not the next club in the firing line.

In fact there was a suggestion that the next club may have been Castleford

Can't remember anyone suggesting that - I do remember Sky Sports News had WTW extinct as a dodo until CC pulled out.

Strange that. Eddie and Sky Sports are normally so positive about Wakey.

I remember Solly been quoted that we were not the club most at risk. Although I don't recall there ever officially being any confirmation as to who was.

Ignore the 'friendly' troll.

Theres been a few on the last day.

Cant remember the years but since 2000 that I can remember:

Beating Salford away when Bobbie Goulding got sent off for scrapping with Justin Brooker
Waiting on the Pitch at BV waiting to see if Cas could hang on to beat Salford to relegate them instead of us.
Obv the original Million Pound Game vs Cas.

Well you wouldn't as Cas fans are stricken with selective memory, hearing and seeing.

2001 – Beat Salford to put Huddersfield down.

2002 – Beat Warrington & Cas went to Salford needing to win to get in top six. Salford down.

2006 – Cas

2012 – Dear John letter from Crusaders

2015 – Bradford.

Good for another three then .

Hmmmm, that's why you were the only Super league club to not have their club house open on the day of the announcements!!. And before you come back, one of my work mates if a Wakey fan and he turned up and was told it wouldn't be open and he talking to the Sky Sports reporter who was there.

That really sounds like a club that was aware they were staying put

I don't "troll" all the time. It was a valid answer wasn't it ?

But you admit you troll. Funny how you respond with something you knew would irritate and annoy.
Maybe you should try the Cas forum to snark and skit?

That's exactly how I remember the situation although I also remember thinking that nothing the RFL says or does can ever be taken at face value!
