| Quote: Hedgehog King "Indeed they would.
But the point was that Salford only won their SL slot through licensing, this is not correct, had automatic promotion and relegation been in play they would have gone up anyway.
Crusaders would have been losing finalists and would have stayed in NL1 in any other year.'"
How would they have been losing finalists?
Salford would have gone up automatic and Crusaders made the final which meant they were the best of the rest so to speak. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

So basically the RFL stuffed up their ' balancing ' of Quota and salary cap excemptions for the Crusaders
If they had got it right they would have finished 5/6 out of 10  |

I do, I'm still interested in conference results and other Leagues we've played in as a result of meeting a good bunch of fans from other teams and I keep an eye on their results also. My issue is that people constantly revisit things that no-one can change and whilst people have a view over the why's and wherefore's of who cares about what League, I'm interested in how a number of teams are doing and find the constant 'Crusdaers were given the world on plate' dialogue tiresome now, what's done is done (easier for me to say granted)

Problem some of us have is , is it going to happen again
The number of ex fans I have spoken to that no longer come because they see us no longer playing meaningful games is scary
All the best |

Because they lost in the final.

They may well have been but the argument made was that Salford only got promoted because of the licensing system. Not true. Had they finished top under the normal system, they would have gone up.
Crusaders finished second. This normally gets you nothing but they got a franchise. In any previous year they would have another year of national league rugby. |

No the point is there are more not normal than normal seasons at the moment
The RFL are constantly changing things |

| The whole "You don't deserve to be in superleague" argument just never gets old does it?
Just like science and atheists refuse to engage born again Xtinas in debate about creationism because it is stupid to argue with the intellectually retarded, we should just not engage flat cappers with an axe to grind.
My the air pressure's low up here on the moral high ground  |

I don't think the RFL made the right decision and I think Crusaders are paying the price for being put into SL too early.
That doesn't mean that I want to see Crusaders booted out of SL or fail.
I just want to see future licensing decisions, particularly those regarding expansion clubs, to be rather more thought out.

| Fev yeah, we in Bridgend are known for having it all in every aspect of our lives. Just another sunny day in the Welsh Riviera.
Cas, fair enough. I accept your point (largely because it was put fairly and without using the words "you don't deserve"icon_wink.gif. We did seem to benefit at the expense of others, but whoever got through would have got stick I guess. Still, it's sink or swim now. Our year in the shallow end is nearly over and we need to show progress next season. |
