We have done. All messes successfully mopped. Biggest lesson? Same as Celtic - be very careful who your chairman/money man is. If he has 'form', then don't think it won't happen all over again. Don't be blinded by offers of funding - if he's done something 'off' in the past, he'll do it again and help screw your club up or hold it back when you need to move forward.

Don't bother with it mate, it is a parasite. Logic and reason just don't register and it will come back with yet more e. It thrives off being fed, you have to feel sorry for it really. A pathetic existence as a messageboard troll is about the best it gets, can't be much fun really.

| Quote ="Ian P"The Crusaders look like going the same way as Gateshead, lets not try and patch it up and make it work. A meger with Widnes would save the situation and ensure that a least everyone comes out with something. The last thing the game wants is for the Crusaders to go belly up in May next year, that would be very damaging.
Widnes need to be in the SL and SL needs them in.
The next thing we need to do is look at the way we are throwing these developing teams into the fray and then leaving them to flounder. Gateshead where not given the support the RFL promised and I bet the South Wales team have had much the same level of support. I think we pushed both teams into the top flight to enhance our claim to be more then a Northern sport. Twice we have failed and I suspect it will always fail without a good supporting network of amateur teams. London is slowly getting there and we need to nurture that, the French was always going to be successful due to the game being strong there. Wales is a pipe dream that is not going to happen, we keep trying and we keep failing.
Learn the lesson and move on to another area, if you must but don't rush it. We can not, should not draft teams into SL willy nilly anymore,.
THEY HAVE TO GET THERE BY EARNING THE RIGHT TO BE THERE'"
Thats the only way that any team can be an asset to super league. Any team that has earned the right is going to make the biggest difference. Widnes have put so much effort into their bid for super league and have had no reward, I would pick them over at least 3 current super league teams.

Salford and Crusaders' presence there looks shakey for a kick off.

| As with many others from championship clubs I think this news produces as range of emotions. Fax were not ready last time so that was never an issue. What really pee'd me off was the preference shown to teams by the RFL purely on the basis of location. That kind of blind optimism without any sustainable basis, or the presence of a plan B just proves what short-sighted, egotistical morons run the game.
However, the most important thing here is the potential demise of a club and as a dyed in the wool RL fan that makes me very sad. Personally, despite a chequered history in Wales I think RL does have a future there. I am actually for putting a Bridgend based team back in championship 1 as I do think there has been a lot of good work which should not be lost to the game. No doubt mssrs Lewis and Wood will look to put them back in SL as soon as they win their first game, but lets hope they will have been replaced by real businessmen by that time.
Sometimes its best to admit you were wrong and move forwards with an alternative plan. Forget saving face, just do the sensible thing. Unfortunately the RFL or bust mentality makes that highly unlikely. Despite previous trolling cru, good luck and I sincerely hope you have a team to follow into the future.

so you should be thanking the RFL then for not putting you in SL, for allowing the club to grow strong again.

I don't thank the RFL for anything, they owe us nothing. It is Steve O'Connor who we have to thank.
As for whinging, it's quite obvious that you cannot comprehend anything that is written by anyone who disagrees or questions the RFL's actions without construing it as "whinging flatcappery"..
Perhaps you should give that tiny mind of yours a break? Or are you so desperately in need of attention on here that you must continue to contribute with your inane and rather pitiful trolling?

simple logic
you people whinge about the RFL for picking crusaders over you
given the way crusaders turned out and now your club is stronger, it looks like they did you a favour and there is no need to whinge
im sorry for bringing in logic into this. if you guys want to blame the RFL for everything despite the facts, go ahead and do it

| the only reason i stopped posting on TRL was because a mod was a RU ref. given i consider RU to be evil, it was always hard trying to fit in with his views that we should ignore the various evils RU has committed to RL over the years.

the club was stronger within 12 months of S o'C's regime not because the RFL didn't select us? You really are that out of touch

And that is exactly why they shouldn't have put crusaders in. They weren't ready. You have just lost an argument for yourself! Amazing. Do you leave your credability at the door when you come on here?
And please don't think about signing up for the flatcappers now you see things our way
