and 10 teams in NSW isn't enough?



There's more people in Yorkshre than there is in Sydney, could you imagine having 9 SL teams just in Yorkshire then suggesting what SL really needs is another Yorkshire team?

So we should just dismiss all your posts because you fail to start your sentences with capital letters? I think you should thank tb for making things simple for your walnut sized brain.

sydney = all RL.

yorkshire = split between soccer and RL

if an area doesnt have a team and then gets one that is called expansion dear.

the central coast dont have an nrl team and are important to the future of the nrl

capital letters. WTF are you on about you dill?

im talking about english, not punctuation

Hey, well done you. See, you can do it too

You mean like when Lewis saw Celtic's business plan?Plenty of random posters forecast that Celtic were not ready for SL without seeing their business plan but were dismissed as flat cappers.Call it a hunch,call it intuition or call it blindingly bloody obvious.

I agree entirely, seeing as though NL1 doesn't exist anymore. Who dya reckon will win the Winfield Cup next year?

Already got plenty thanks

Just beautiful.

and those same people are hoping celtic will fail.

sadly for them they havent

so many flatcappers have all gone out and said that celtic will fail that if the crusaders by some miracle survive and even prosper they are going to look even more stupid

if thats possible

wow great argument

why is it that it is the fans of the clubs that are the perpetual failures that are the most vociferous experts on why all these expansion clubs wont work out

its not as if they can learn from their own clubs experience as to what makes a succesful RL club so why should i listen to them?

Well, your posts may stand more credibility if you can actually be bothered to get the correct names of the League's that clubs play in. Pedantic i know, but there you are.

How many "fans" are you talking about? A handful? Or have you canvassed opinion with a clip board over here to get a wider sample?

, now they are in SL want them to succeed , it might not be a ' Rationale ' that you can understand , but all we really want is a strong sport , at all levels , and when we see clubs being pushed too fast just because of their location we will continue to argue against it

That's their problem, why are you getting so hung up about how ridiculous they may look?

Maybe it's because having visited Bridgend on more than one occaision and spoken with the locals , both RL fans and non RL fans , seen the facilities , witnessed the crowds , got opinions from potential new fans of the owner , basically actually been there , we do have some experience

And then Toulouse , Having visited the place , so on , so on

Where have you gained your opinions from ?

Can I just ask, how is dally not banned yet? He is trolling. None of his posts have anything other than insults in them to people that don't agree with him. Surely that is against the AUP? He was asked nicely after an excellent post by bowes to defend his argument without insulting people or saying flatcapper and the first thing he did was call him just that.

The thread has been derailed. He has shown he can't argue his point. He has shown he is just after attention. He has shown he has no knowledge on what he is talking about. He has shown his opinion is hypocritical when compared to the NRL. He is just not contributing. This forum would be a lot better off without him.

I have no problem with people with opposing opinions. It's just people that choose to derail thread after thread when they're found to have no knowledge or be complete hypocrits and are reduced to constant insults and trolling in order to get a jolly I have a problem with.

Dally, if you can't back it up, shut it up. At least SmokeyTA tries to back his arguments up.

AmI the only

Do the 30 odd thousand sydney swans fans agree with that?

Or the 15 thousand sydney soccer fans?

What about all the cricket fans?

On here. That's where his problems lie

I take it that this will be your last post on the subject then?

It is not the people who thought that Celtic would fail who currently look stupid.

Do you think bowes' definition of Coventry "not being ready" for NL2 / CC! is an excuse because he doesn't want to see them polluting that league with their nasty midlands ways or that he genuinely thinks he might result in the death of the club that he is involved with?

I'd say that was partly true. Toulouse had just finished 7th in the French league and I would imagine that this entered into the RFL's thoughts.

Even so I think they might have made a better fist of it than Crusaders.

You really ought to put such faith in the RFL though, they have a proven track record of making dreadful decisions regarding expansion clubs. They would be better off flipping a coin instead because then at least they might be right half the time.
