"Speaking after the game, Calland said they were still a few years away from a place in the game’s top division"
Ditto for every other team bar Widnes.
The RFL set the rules, not Widnes. I have ranted like a mad spoon about the "on-field" achievements of Widnes but that rant has ALWAYS been levelled at the RFL. They have an opportunity to put that right after the next round of licenses and if they've half a brain they won't be giving any guarantees out.'"
[i"....the Northern Rail Cup final last year was possibly the worst thing that could have happened to the game below the top-flight.
Why? Because they put the one necessary tick in the box at the earliest possible opportunity and guaranteed no-one else stood a chance of usurping them"[/i
Well......yes because no one else is really close on the criteria. Well done Paul for ranting on about a subject that we've been discussing and drawn a conclusion on 2 seasons ago. I might nominate him for a Pulitzer. Or a Darwin, I've not decided yet.
Oh, and this one's for any Leyther reading this"...and for Halifax, Featherstone and Barrow – the three best teams outside Super League..."[/i
Didn't Barrow finish 4th?
