oooh, can I add

Rugby Union is the national sport in Wales, Rugby League will never be a succuss This comment normally comes at the start of a thread, when that thread occurs during the school holidays, or by page three of a thread where the flat earth brigade give up trying to use facts to win an argument.

Happy Superleague Birthday.......

I thought they spoke scouse in Widnes.

....And the apostrophe in CAN'T.

I just thought he was writing in some kind of pidgin English local dialect (And yes my flat capper friend it IS 'pidgin' and not 'pigeon'!)

see...my grandpappy was right. You can catch stuff with old bait

Erm no it shouldn't. The "e" in english, meaning language is not capitalised whereas the "w" in Welsh as in race or nationality is.

Well, I for one am very glad to see Celtic Crusaders (and Harlequins!) in Superleague. And yes, I'm from Sintellins, which is in that wonderful nether world known as the heartlands.

I'm keeping everything crossed that the Crusaders make it through their first year uncertainties in the same way the Dragons did and they grow as a club and a team; that the great work being done by the Quins and Skolars in London really begins to pay dividends and that Quins stay in the play offs; that Gateshead Thunder manage to avoid relegation to Championship 1 so they can build on the good work they've been doing in that soccer mad part of the world; that the Nottingham Outlaws and Bristol Sonics can keep producing the goods outside the fulltime game; that Barrow win their grand final (because although that part of the world is a traditional heartland, it has been neglected); that Bradford Bulls get on board to spread the game into the Asian community; that the sport really catches on in Jamaica, because I'd love to visit the country, and that the BBC wake up one day and realise that they've been letting a fabulous product pass them by, and they actually start to put the Superleague Show on at the same time every Sunday for a full hour nationwide!

I don't ask for much.

However, I do want Crusaders fans to know that there are a lot of people who feel the same way I do: that we want rugby league to succeed all over the place, are fully on board with expansion and look forward to taking trips to far flung corners of the country (and globe!) to support the game and our particular team. It's a great sport and I don't understand how anyone doesn't want it to succeed.

Very beautifully put saints fan and we the Crusaders fans have met more people for expansion than against and a big % of fans of other clubs we have met home and away have been brilliant people and weve had good banter yes there have been a few idiots/thugs from other clubs but no doubt we have got a few as well and i for one would just like to see one winner from all this expansion and thats the best game in the world Rugby league isn't that why we are all here.

Yes, it is.

The names of languages are always capitalised in English.
