Keep franchises out of our game: |

| I have watched Trinity for 50 years. I have nowhere else to go at 3.30 on a sunday.. I have watched therm at Huyton infront of a crowd of 200 and still enjoyed the game.If it is a choice between free flowing rugby in the championship or 5 drives and a kick and still getting thrashed in the SL i know which i prefer. This has been the most boring season out of the 50 and JK is the main one to blame. We started with a group of young lads who were giving 100% and although we only won 3 games in the first 10 we were competing in most of them .Then JK started to pick unfit players who did not deserve their place in the team . ( first Jeremy Smith , then the disastrous Hickey signing , then Tadulala ) Young guns realised giving 100% was not enough to get you selected,you need the antipodean accent. There was no point in busting a gut , you needed a beer gut to get picked. I think even the young lads who WERE getting picked every week like Mariano realised the club was a laughing stock and performances suffered as a result. If we had stuck with the early selection policy we may not have won many more games but the games would have been worth watching. Roll on the Championship because one thing we all know is that the likes of J Smith Hickey and Tadulala wont want to stay at championship wages because they are not here for the rugby just the beer money.

| Never any doubt that I will watch Wakefield at whatever level they end up. Don't think anybody will be "happy" if we lose Super League status but there's no point crying our eyes out. Wakefield achieved Super League status fair and square but look likely to lose it by underhand means. At least we can say goodbye with some integrity and moral high ground.
With Murdoch's empire crumbling around him maybe now is a good time to get out of Super League. In addition, with Fat Nige and crew in charge of Super League maybe it's only a matter of time before the current model goes belly up.
Here's to watching Trinity in 2012, wherever it might be.

| Quote: Mikey T "But the Championship is a great competition and deserves far more credence than it currently gets. Did you see today's NR Final? Classic rugby League. Was it more entertaining than the weekend's televised SL games or not?'"
this is true, but the essence of sport must surely be the desire to play and compete at the highest level. the way the championship is structured financially means that clubs cannot realistically compete with full time squads or hang onto juniors that look like making the grade (or even becoming sl squad players).
i’ve always been staunchly anti franchising, anti murdoch, and pro organic expansion. the current model delivers nails for championship sides’ coffins as they wither towards a slow and painful illness and potential death.
i'll watch wakefield as much next year as i have this. this won't be the majority stance, much as we may kid ourselves, those posting on here are the exception and not the rule.
i think cas will be safe. good luck to them i say. they've fought their public relations battle very well.

| Quote: sandcat20 "I've stayed supporting through thick and thin for about 50 years. In that time I've seen really great highs and some pretty miserable lows, but to me, if you're a real fan, you stick with your club whatever happens because it's the club you support - not just this season's players, coach, owner, performance.
So as you can guess I'll be there next season whatever happens!!!!'"
I have been a rugby league fan all my life but only a wakey fan for five of them, i am going nowhere we all know what the RFL is like so let them get on with it. Sky sports will be finished with me too because i think they are part of it.

1) Don't underestimate the quality in the championship. - They're will be plenty in that league capable of competing for 'the trophies'. Wakey will NOT have it there own way.
2)Getting back into SL????
Well said i watch the championship and it is very competative.

If your a real fan you will stick with the club. It would be nice to play fev on boxing day instead of the whinoes.

Thornes park was perfect.

| Quote: imwakefieldtillidie "I'll follow Wakefield whichever division they're in. Even if we stay up I think the games corrupt, because for me sport can only be a sport if there are winners and losers that are decided on the pitch, not in offices. I'd like to say I won't be going to any more internationals in protest, but I gave up on those when Kiwis started playing for Great Britain and everyone started swtiching to countries they could get a game with then switching back when needed. At least it's not just the domestic game that's bent.'"
Cannot fault you on that. You play for the country you were born in.
