Here's one - from my bessie mate Vikingman





Didn't take long for him to take his position in the ivory tower. I'll expect to read much more - even before you start your stint in SL

This is roogbeh leeeg. The greetest game with the greetest fans alreet? This is like last tme, all over again. Those that lose p1ss and b1tch and moan and whinge and accuse everyone else of being
a) Cheats.
b) Unworthy.
c) RFL favourites.
d) There due to bribes from successful club's sugar daddy.
e) Full of Aussies.
f) Previously bankrupt.
g) Breaking the salary cap.
h) Liars.
i) Without supporters.
j) Resident in a ty stadium.

Whereas those smug supporters whose club meets certain financial criteria believe themselves to be
a) The epitome of all that is good about Roogbeh Leeg.
b) The ONLY team there on merit alone.
c) Historically superior to all other clubs.
d) On the verge of winning the SooperDooperPooperScooperLeeg.

same old shiite, different licensing period.

Waah waah waah versus smirk smirk smirk.

Is that it?



I rest my case, m'lud!

That's pretty much how it is. Wonderful language.

I remember Fax raiding Leigh of their decent players when we were in SL and i didn't give a stuff. You adapt to your environment. I don't think i'll be swapping my Championship flat cap for a Super League top hat anytime soon though. Halifax, first and foremost though.

Gotta get off the bottom of the table. That's all that's occupying my immediate thoughts where roogbeh leeeg is concerned

Well I cant wait to see how many imports Widnes are allowed to have to start with, just to make them competitive. With this in mind, when it is announced, we will see how them been promoted will be for the better for the game, especially since they have proved they cannot compete on the pitch, apart from winning the 4th Grade competition (1. SL, 2. Chal Cup, 3. Champ, 4. NR Cup

Your club have had a good run,what is it 12 years of SL and SL money?What do they have to show for it?Jack Shit.Time for a stronger club to replace a weaker one.That's the beauty of licensing.

Hang on!

You've been moaning that our NRC win got us through and calling it a farce, now its a crying shame if Fax weren't allowed to apply if they won nothing during the process. Which is it?

You can come watch us for a few matches, get a feel for it

The problem is, that logic applies to Wakefield and Quins. However the RFL will not act in the same way will they? This is what makes licensing so debatable, the RFL will always give themselves a get out of jail free card, when it comes to Quins, Catalans and Celtic.

I suggest you do a little research bbefore you post.
2nd, 2 other play offs finishes, 1 CC final, never last or in a relegation position and not the "worst supported team" in SL (see 2003 halifax)..............no to mention cockneys awarded England caps at all levels...and one even poached by St Helens. (Did I mention we didn't break the cap either)
Bitter Fax Fans will always have an excuse...always have someone to point the finger at....but they had their chance..they blew it and they have found their level......

Not that it matters, but...is Quins/Broncos average SL attendance for all seasons greater than Faxs?

To be fair that was after getting tonked week in, week out. When you've won your first five games and you still can't get over 3,000 then that's a genuine concern for the officials at Harlequins - well, it should be anyway. The Quins need to pick your marketing brains mate - lord knows you've offered it to them on a plate on many threads.

Not all Fax fans are bitter - many will pick holes in the RFL's methods but most of the savvy know the score and will accept the direction our club takes.

as many as wakefield are allowed. simples. 4th grade or not, its one more than wakefield have managed in my lifetime.

Wakey will win it next year

I think Leigh will win it this year and next year. *spit*

Fair enough we did only win 1 Championship in 1998, but as far as I remember we did not have to win another after as we did not get relegated, when as it should still be we had P & R?

if thats supposed to be a dig at our relegation in 2005 its pretty weak. we were 'relegated' to make way for catalans, after finishing in the same league position your glorious club have at least 3 times in there 12 superleague years. 11th.

But widnes have won fook all in the 3 years they spent so called getting ready,please tell me what wonderful amazing things they are doing outside of the club????? 3 years one rail cup win only in rl

That would kind of be the turnover & attendances part.
Never mind the only full academy outside SL whose 16's & 18's managed to finish top of the pile... in SL!

P.s. in least two seasons (excluding Challenge cup) 6 trophies for Championship clubs to win (NRC / League leaders / Grand Final (league title).
Barrow - 2
Widnes - 1
Halifax - 1
Batley - 1
Featherstone - 1

Yet we get told haven't won anything but NO-ONE has excatly dominated this division!

Yes and one of the clubs who have one or two of the most vocal in this matter have one exactly nothing and should have been relegated one season if only for a technicality.

f()ck me...I must be lost......I am sure you accused me of only "trolling" on the fax board because the big kids on here would "tear me a new one"


I only became involved in this thread and the one on the fax board once Quins RL were mentioned...I have no doubt that the majority of fax fans will take it on the chin, but it's the few idiots that I was having a pop at.

Interesting how we should've been relegated, finishing 3rd bottom, yet many Widnes fans talk of how they shouldn't have been relegated from 2nd bottom in 2005, and how they were shafted to accomodate the French...

We were relegated , quite correctly

Blackpool in the premiership are the perfect example why there should be promotion and relegation in any sport they earned there place there by winning the final at wembley. They have a the smallest wage budget in that league and the smallest stadium. But they earned there place there cos of what they did on the field, not some stupid criteria off the field and with just a few games to go there in a really exciting relegation battle in which anyone of 9 clubs could end up been relegated
