Which could also apply to many other clubs, not just those 3 you refer to, both in Super League and outside.

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 |

No it couldn't , those 3 clubs are not replacable , all the others are easily replaced , even Leeds or yourselves
That is why those 3 are different

I know it's no comfort - but we did not support the London rescue!

Another French team and another Welsh team, perhaps. A Cumbrian team would make even more sense. An Irish / Scottish team would be about as popular / successful as Paris. Unfortunately, the game of rugby league could do with a few clubs emerging as contenders here for any idea of a "home nations" competition to have any credibility, IMO.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]
[b:24qn1m99]Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY![/b:24qn1m99]:24307.jpg |

| Quote: t-r-i-n-i-t-y "It's ok talking Fev this, Widnes that, but they, like ourselves have 100 years or there about to secure a place in the elite. What makes them more special and more worthy than a newer club?'"
What does this mean?
This ‘100 years’ rubbish is a pathetic, and meaningless, platitude trotted out by the terminally thick on the VT. There are many clubs in the Championship and Championship1 that have been as successful, or indeed more successful, over the last 100 years or so than Wakefield Trinity.
So do you, in fact, only mean the last decade or so?
As far as ‘newer clubs’ are concerned, then they are supposed to be judged on the same criterion as everybody else. I think it is clear that they are not. So the question should be: What is so special about them?

Please don't, it will only encourage more badly argued griping.

| with due respect to leigh from what I saw of their performance last night, they are are light years away from even competing at the bottom of the table,
if they was to get a way in to the super league with their new stadium, they would only reap the benefits of the team that they replaced with most of their players

Selfish man
Why should Rovers who by the way have won honours in recent memory be a feeder club to anyone?

Listen mate Leigh have paid little for the team this year, mainly local kids making the step up as part timers, we even rested our more needed last night.
Give us £2.5m more income, which is what SL does as a minimum and the new stadium would make us as good as the bottom two now.
Guarantee entry like CC or Cats were and we could build for it, yet both will have finished bottom in the first year

| Having visitied BV for the first time in about 20 years last night, I must admit to thinking it hadn't changed much and if this is what the RFL are wanting to get rid of then I can see their reasoning.
And then, stood up on a terrace with a pint surrounded by Wakefield fans creating a half decent friendly atmosphere watching good rugby, I thought 'why the hell should this lot be potentially kicked out for anyone just because the ground isn't a charachterless concrete lump?' Its nonsense.
Give me a raw BV over the JJB or Galpharm anyday of the week. Access to the topflight should be on merit, same rules for all of us, not on how many baby changing facilites you have.
I've seen Leigh win at pretty much every top flight club over the years and the thing that pi55es me off the most though is patronising SL fans looking down their noses from their lofty perches at clubs who have more tradition and success than their own, and waxing lyrical about how wonderful they are and how we should run non SL clubs. Thats very easy to say when theres a juicy cheque from Sky sat on the boardroom table.
