Quote: In EnemyTerritory "Jiffy D... it's a good post and like a couple of fans on here I think it's terrific that you don't feel any resentment about what happened..
I for one am still incredibly bitter about the whole thing and will be for some time. For me this was the latest in a long line of offences by the RFL against our club.
It's not about a god given right to have a SL place, it's about how the RFL carry out their agenda.
We were told that it would be a fair and transparent process for all 14 spots... Instead it was all done using a criteria that no-one was told about behind closed doors and all applications were simply summarised in a line or two which only further propagates the bad feeling.
Instead it was a safe opportunity for the RFL to promote an expansion team. Richard Lewis has so much as now admitted this in a quoted email on the TIW site.
It was a process in which cast iron financial guarantees were overlooked in favour of airy fairy promises about new grounds.
This is old ground mate but it's my thoughts on the matter and it won't change. My boycott of everything Superleague related remains in place and I won't miss it again this year. I am bitter but very excited about the championship competition this year and the squad that has been put in place.
I will not however go posting stuff anywhere else on these boards about other clubs unless it is defence of this club and also get a little bit irked when I see it. It only raises the heckles of the 'Richard Lewis Youth' that make up the expansionista on this site.
It was a farce and we will be subjected to it again in 2 years!!'"
I am incredibly bitter, and in total agreement with this excellent post.
