Not sure why I deserve that, Tony. Most of my posts are part of the discussions, with occasional tongue in cheek comments that certain, “far too serious” posters don’t quite get, like P Collo.

I admit I “don’t get” the point in the majority of your posts, possibly because you rarely make one.

See what you get for your troubles when you try to defend the hard of thinking Smithers.

What part of “Do one” don’t you get Standee?

I don’t get “do one” at all, unless it’s some kind of threat? In which case I draw your attention to the AUP, and also, in the same vein, references to your perception that I’m some former poster are equally against the AUP, all in all, I think you maybe need to post less and, perhaps, think more?

You're a bit precious for smoeone who's been banned before for using abusive language.

Direction of travel on format of the northern hemisphere competition is really interesting with New York now looking to put a Champ 1 team in for 2019. Could envisage that in a few years we have a pretty diverse top tier with only the biggest UK sides in it. Or equally likely end up back where we started. Overseas element could be more attract sponsorship-wise though.

It's certainly "interesting times", expansion of the game into the US and more in Canada as well could be good for the sport, but you do have to worry about the capability of the blazers at Red Hall to make it work for everyone.

Could be great for the sport and really force UK clubs to raise the bar to be in the top half dozen British clubs from a performance, stadium, youth development, fan base perspective. Franchising previously was compromised by the fact that UK chairmen called the shots but an international competition atttracting major funding would revolutionise things. All pie in the sky I guess. In the meantime good for our profile to be embracing new concepts like the Wigan game in Australia. Adapt or die?

I think we're well placed to be one of the clubs that adapts, but I do fear it will mean a merger with KR. I'm not sure if I'd support a merged club, time will tell if I'm given that particular decision to make.
