Next year could be fun, no Toulouse and the Championship clubs vote not to accept Crusaders.

Isn't there a match to win, a league to win and a trophy to collect? Don't those things matter?

Of co they matter.

Not sure anymore...

If they don't, sport isn't for you.

You would think so. The way some talk, everything is only really about getting their team into SL.

No , we all understand how that works , it's between the Championships I'm talking about , it is quite ridiculous with only a few weeks left

You know, sport..where you get rewarded (aka a juicy handout from Sky every year for being in Superleague) as a result of your on the field performance...oh hang on.....



It cracks me up when teams like Wakefield and others have fretted about losing their license. What does it matter after all, they would still have the Championship GF and Northern Rail to look forward to?

To deliberately misquote you - "The way some talk, everything is only really about keeping their team in SL."

You can't have it both ways you know...

The reward you look for in sport shouldn't be some kind of handout from a media company.

Enjoy sport for what it is.

No where has anyone stated that these don't matter so this is an irrelevant, pathetic diversion!

I think fans wanting to know what's going on for next season, and clubs for that matter, is vital and not mutually exclusive as to knowing what is going on this season. There is a lot of confusion and this latest bout of super league licensing has merely added to it. There needs to be some clarification.

Try looking it up ?

A contest between teams playing to the same rules , when's the last time we saw that in RL ?

Richie - I couldn't agree more. I am sure Crusaders are looking forward to life in the Championship..and Wakefield are desperately disappointed to miss out on the opportunity...

Hundreds of times every weekend.

I'm sure Crusaders are dissapointed to realise they don't have the infrastructure to compete at the top level. I'm sure Wakefield are relieved that SL agree with them in feeling that they do have the infrastructure to compete in the top division. I'm sure both teams know exactly what they will be playing for this season and next - to get a win in their next match.

Does asking a question about next season really confuse you that much as to the motive of such a question? Honestly, you've chosen to take this in a completely different context than it should be and it's irrelevant. Fans and teams are confused about next years championship, it needs to be sorted out sooner rather than later.

Forget Starbug's awkward wording and move on to something substantial for a change.

Starbug has frequently complained in the past that the sport is largely meaningless to him without a chance for promotion to SL based only on on-field performance. I doubt his wording was awkward at all.

If you read my original post properly you will see I said ChampionshipS and asked if there will be promotion and relegation , there is more to RL than SL and a few clubs at the top of THE Championship

We have clubs at the bottom of THE Championship not knowing if there will be relegation , and clubs in Championship 1 not knowing how many if any clubs will be promoted

All with 5/6 games left

Just answer the OP rather than attempting to be a wannabe MP............. It`s like a reply from that Bandit fella...Full of hot air and p***.

From a poster calling himself "Bartholomew Smythe"



What's your opinion on the original post? Are you going to answer those questions?

He asked you first , you didn't read it properly did you ? , you saw my name and just went for it , didn't you ?

....and you thought you'd find the answers here on RLFans?

Why do you think I, or any poster on RL Fans, will have the answers on P&R and the number of Championship leagues next year?



Did you confuse RLFans.com with the RFL?

No , I thought RL fans might debate it , ie give their opinions , like on an Internet message board like , considering it is a RL Internet message board and it was a RL subject like you know like

Why would I ask the RFL ? , they don't know what day it is , and after the number of e mails they've had off Fax fans today , I think they'll be a bit busy
