18821_1298880800.jpg [quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

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 |

The same could be said for the majority of SL clubs , basically we have ' Sugar Daddy League ' , those with somebody rich enough to make up the shortfall survive ( because that is all any of them are doing ) , those without , fail
If Wakey drop down they might be able to become a sustainable Championship club , with no SKY money

| Quote: Trinity 64 "It will be interesting to see how money sky lose through cancelled SKY SPORTS subscriptions if the RFL keep cherry picking who's in SL, and alienating seasoned rugby league supporters.
I know a few that will cancel although some just threaten to cancel to cash in on cheap sky offers.'"
Not much. Try cancelling because Wakefield aren't in Super League anymore and all you'll probably get is 'but look at our football coverage', Super League is totally dependent on Sky Money, and Sky Money is dependent on Premiership & Football League coverage. So Sky couldn't care less about a few Wakefield fans cancelling Sky.

Correct.
Although if it wasn't for Sky (or the football) then a few more clubs would have gone under and the majority would be part time.
Have you watch any games from the pre-superleague era recently? The game was shocking

Makes you wonder how many are fans of Wakefield when in the top division but stop going when outside. Like for the mid-late 90s, mid 80s. Not a chance us being on telly a couple of times a year back then!

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "The thing is that if those sky subscribers and pub rugby watchers went to the games instead of watching on t.v then many of the clubs financial problems would not exist.'"
After watching Trinity for 47 years I think iv'e tipped enough money up to justify watching the odd match on sky without feeling that I'm not a genuine supporter.
Still supporting Trinity with the ups and downs that we have endured through those years I know 2 things,
1. I need psychiatric help.
2. Trinity are in my blood.
I will continue to watch Trinity regardless of the league they are in, as I suspect will most other Trinity fans (when the dust settles). Trinity fans turn out because its in their blood and not because there riding on the back of flicking trophies up in the air every season. How many of your lot could say that.

They would not care but thats no reason not to do it, if the guy wants to cancel then good on him.
Yes it is, thats how it works.

I actually enjoy watching pre-Super League matches, Stones Championship from around 1993, great viewing.
If you wanna see some dire games, watch games from the pre-Northern Union era, they have a 'highlights' show late nights on ITV.
