Quote: Tigerade " It might look morally wrong to supporters of the championship clubs (and you have got to feel for them) but something most of us agree on is the survival of OUR respective clubs is ALL that matters.'"


Thats the point though, it is morally wrong.

Some of those Championship clubs deserve a shot at the big time after years of being in the wilderness.
We don't have a god given right to SL status forever as much as we would like to have.

Does your club come first and the game second ? It does for me. No Castleford Tigers - no RL for me. There ought to be a poll on this.

My club comes first, however I do believe in fair play.

We have to look after ourselves first and foremost because nobody else will. They'll be plenty ready to stab us in the back given half a chance. Look after number one.

Let’s have a bit of reality , if the choice is between selling and survival ,then lets getting selling , its happened many times before and we are still about with a chance of competing , at least we will be masters of our own destiny , we would soon learn if our coach is a good one after all , recruitment/ replacement would be the key ,as someone else posted we need a squad with a sprinkling of Nigel Bells and Johnny Ts   (, WAKEFIELDS OWN ) in it.  With no room for anyone who is not up to the fight (I think we will be left with a few)

So, in my reality

If we had any Nigel Bells or Johnny Thompsons, wouldn't they already be playing?

I dont doubt you know more about the young kids than I do.
But people through Belly and Johnny's names around like they are the same as anyone else who is 'Wakefield through and through'
That isn't all they were. Belly in particular was a quality player. Possibly one of the best of his type.
Just being a young kid from Wakefield doesn't make you that.

If you know another like him then great. I wish he was playing for us now.

Is the way I see it too.

MC's trying to clear the debts to ensure we still have a club. The level at which the club plays should be decided on the field. The amount of support we get, especially now, will go a long way to determining the level at which we play at. I realise that the whole thing is more complicated than that, but ultimately, that's what it boils down to.

If we voted on principle to open the leagues up again through P&R, then fair play to us and the other club who voted for the same.

I think the point is that we didn't give the young players the chance they deserved when we could have done. That's what SL franchising was supposed to be all about.

We didn't take the chance because there were so many other issues that were clouding the picture for us, like the need for a new stadium and the other factors involved in scoring more franchise points to keep us in there. With hindsight, this has worked massively to our disadvantage. But it would have been a brave man at the time who tried to do what pretty much all other RL clubs were doing (I exclude the likes of Wigan and Leeds from this).

There's no guarantee that any kid who shows potential at 18 or 19 will make it to the highest level, but I think try scorer's nonetheless right that in many ways, we failed them.

As usual rebel a fair balanced view.

I could also go along with that but of all the times for it to happen next season is the worst possible scenario.
Last season yes, the season after next yes. But its one hell of a time to be fighting for our lives when MC is trying his best to put right the massive car crash left by Glover and Elston.

If Adam Gledhill is so good then why hasn't there been a big queue of clubs after his signature now he has returned from oz? I remember people banging on about his brother after we let him go too, he's now playing for Sale seconds at rugby union.

Let us remember that the RL plan also included increases in the number of non federation trained players a club can sign and a reduction to only 10 under 18 teams.
