I think sean is referring to the childish comments rather than the respective merits of each team.

| Quote ="Eddie stobbard"Toulose are one of the form teams in the league at the moment.If they carry on with this kind of form till the end of the season they will be in the mix for a good play off position.And the rfl have said that you only have to compete in a play off final to be eligable for the 2012 franchise spot.
You dont have to be a rocket scientist to relise what that would mean they had a crowd of nearly 3000 there tonight and we all know expansion is the name of the game concerning applications.
So fax could go all season unbeat and win the grand final but if the french team are there oposition in the final that would be very concerning for every other club for the next two seasons as we have seen with the crusaders the rfl dont give a didly squat who they upset when choosing the winning franchise team.
This post aint meant to pee on your parade just to give you a idea of what a sucessful Tolouse side means to the rest of us who are hoping for that goal of superleague in 2012.'"
Spot on mate, true that.

I don't think that Fax, Fev or Leigh will ever get into Super League under current Red Hall guidelines. They are hellbent on 'expansion' and I think they will be wanting to REDUCE the number of SL teams in Yorkshire.
Leigh are just too close to Wigan - again that wouldn't be expansion.
Widnes have an outside chance as have a Cumbria team - if anyone get's their act together sufficiently.
Toulouse would be seen as expansion, even though I don't think there'll be sufficient talent in France to sustain 2 x SL teams in the forseeable future. Therefore, a strong Aussie contingent would be ever present.
For the 2012 season (as long as qualifying rules are met by these clubs) I think that it will be either Toulouse, Widnes or a Cumbrian team.
For 2015 I can see a Scottish and an Irish team throwing their hats into the ring.'"
What goes around comes around.
I remember the original SL farce, where we and others were threatened with merger - one area was Cumbria and at the time it was a must that we had a SL team in Cumbria and the great and good plus the know it all fans said it must be so which is why we ended up with Workington in SL1.
sadly it didn't work but funny how nobody bangs on about this yet we see Harlequins and now Celtic Crusaders failing yet they will stay in SL at any price!
Funny that, will the RFL never learn?

Absolutely. Thats why I had a little bit of sympathy with Linda Riordan's Early Day Motion the other week in the House of Commons. Unfortunately the timing was terrible, but at least it was highlighting (sort of) the ridiculous licensing system.

Comparing Barrow with Halifax is like comparing Doncaster with St Helens ... totally ridiculous. Halifax is steeped in history with a bagful of honours. Whereas Barrow, like fellow Cumbrian minnows Whitehaven and Workington, are collective dumps, have won nak all, and are forever whining and moaning how tough they have it and how they're constantly ignored. You do our heads in down here. So just shut the feg up and give us a break.

Erm WRONG ANSWER !!
I think you may find that Barrow RLFC has a very long history mate which includes appearances in the Challenge Cup Final (with a win) aswell as a Lancashire Cup Win against the odds. Add to this numerous League titles !
Halifax's honours count for nothing with the RFL and trust me if Barrow are in a position to apply for a Franchise in SL then you lot would be overlooked AGAIN. Like I keep saying, you have had long enough to sort your house out and get back into SL but have failed time and time again. Step aside and watch how an up and coming club Steeped in History gets its ar*e into the Top Flight. Barrow has a Chairman who is willing to put his money where his mouth is and back his coach with the players he wants. Watch this space as Barrow still have a few players lined up.
I wonder what your attitudes will be if you fail to win anything as in recent years ? You think you are something when fact is you have tried, tried and tried again and failed consistently.
I await the barage of abuse

Ah but the difference between Barrow, Fax and Workington is that Craven Park belongs to Barrow Raiders - We don't rent
