Yet again it just appears that the RFL just make things up as they go along. To have a fully fledged super league club with development status is bizarre in the extreme. To rub salt into the wound they are now based in Wrexham despite the licence being granted to allow the game to grow in South Wales. You just know that this exercise is bound to fail. However my main gripe is not against Nigel and his co directors but remember they do not operate in isolation in the RFL. Nigel does not run the thing to his own agenda he carrys out the policy as agreed by the super league clubs. It is my understanding that all super league clubs have a vote and they must have agreed to support the Crusaders. Any thoughts of hostility towards the RFL should be redirected towards the SL clubs who support these measures and SKY who bankrole the Super League. One option would be to make Super League larger with say six more teams but will never happen because existing clubs will not sign up to reduced cash. They would equally be against sharing revenues with Championship sides. Sorry guys it just seems that good traditional clubs with good supporters are getting shafted and all we are offered one opportunity for admisssion to the top table. It doesn't matter how much history we bring, how much support, the quality of the ground etc you just know that if this one place would be removed at an instant if a new club from Ireland, Scotland, France, or indeed any UK region with no existing rugby league representation wanted in.

I've said it so many times now, Wood and Lewis are pathetic. In any other job they would have had garden leave a long time ago. Those two are answerable to nobody and its a joke, a complete joke.

They are like senior politicians or dare i say it senior managers in the UK at most large organisations, its the old 'the king is in the altogether' syndrome, meaning we all know the truth but nobody dare say it because they will get punished.
I have seen it in places I have worked.

Yes the ' Emporers new clothes ' is alive and well up at Red Hall , and on these very boards as well

Just read a piece called [url=http://www.lasttackle.com/blogpost_208-championship-needs-a-vision.html'Championship Needs A Vision'[/url on LastTackle.com which questions why the Championship has just been made a stepping stone for Super League, why it's been made the be all and end all and what about all the hard work Mr Clay and everyone at the club has done if we get sent packing again.

If that continues to be the case, these hard workers will walk away from the clubs. Semi-Pro Rugby League below SL level will disappear. Less players, less people watching the game. Terrific leap forward no?
