| Quote ="The Stobart"Obviously, not many of you have been listening hard enough? Steve O'Connor has said he will be spending the full 1.8 million on players and he also said he wants to be a big force, not just a team filling up the numbers. And to be honest I see Leeds as a team on the slide, so maybe in a few years we will be able to beat you lot.'"
Were you the one with the drum?
With the salary cap currently set at £1.65 million, O'Connor boasting about spending £1.8 million may be his first mistake.
There again on Boots 'N All last night he was talking about there being a 'dearth' of talent coming through the Widnes club so perhaps it's his second. |

TVOC If I won EuroMillions I'd make York a SuperLeague club and immediately announce the signing of Benji Marshall on £2million per season, and tell the RFL to deal with it.

| Quote ="tvoc"That's the process. Are you suggesting that Halifax cannot now under any circumstance gain a SL license for the next three years?
The remaining 13 will be handed out at the end of July. That's still before clubs are allowed to officially contact player's coming out of contract so Halifax in theory would not be disadvantaged if learning of their inclusion at that time.
I'm not saying that it will happen either (I don't think it will) but a lot could change in three months and Halifax meet the criteria set so still have a chance.'"
No I am not saying that.
The RFL stated they had chosen one championship team now to give them extra time to prepere for super league.
What I was saying is would it not be better to have every SL club decided at the same date today? Because in the position we have at the moment. Halifax still could get a licence but will be several months behind Widnes. |

You'd stand more chance if you called it "South York", and played your home games in South York.... say.... Kent. They'd kick Salford straight out!!

| Quote ="Andy Gilder"Can't see two existing SL clubs being given the boot, so I would suggest Halifax are going into the pot for the other 13 places as rank outsiders.
Only other place I could see even potentially being in jeopardy is :23l7prorSalford, given their results on the field and the fact they will be judged on their current stadium rather than the proposed one.[/
Proposed!!!! You do realise its actually being built at the moment and two of the 4 stands are already up.
Our bid will have been based on the new stadium as were due to move in time for the start of the 2012 season.
Pop over to the salford board if you fancy seeing the latest pictures

Wakefield SHOULD drop - they offer nothing and they should be closely followed by the Welsh folly. |

Both Wakefield and Castleford should drop. Both were given licences on promises they made about stadiums. Promises that haven't come to fruition.
Three seasons in the championship might make them see sense about a ground share.

of the 14 teams I think Crusaders bring the least to the competition, they are behind wakey and cas on more criteria than they would be ahead particularly since their double bust and move
but i'd prefer annual P+R, particularly as if Fax are denied promotion there is a clear indication that there are more teams ready than places available and at least one of them will be cut off from the game's main source of income for three years (and beyond...)

I'm in agreement with you on this mate not least because it's blatantly obvious that the likes of Quinns ,Catalans and Crusaders are not judged on the same criteria in the name of "expansion" especially the Welsh mob because that would be the RFL admitting making a balls up in letting them in in the 1st place. |

They are not judged in the same way because they add to SL's value to TV, from which all clubs benefit. If that wasn't the case then Quins and Crusaders wouldn't be in SL today.

How do they add value to T.V?
Seeing empty stands in London for a RL match live on t.v really adds value and the same for the plastic South Wales Franchise. |

They don't add value to TV, they add to the value of Super League as a TV package, by at least a couple of zeros |
