these arent things they have brought to SL
That isnt an amount to be proud of

That isnt SL but a completely different league.

More than most? more than Leeds, Hull, Saints, Wigan, Cas, Les Catalans, Warrington, Bradford. To be more than most, you would need to be more than 6 of those clubs. Which 6 do you think you have produced more SL players than?
All clubs would say they have an ambitious board, and the money to back them up remains to be seen. The idea Glover is one of the richer men in SL isnt correct.

Really? They have a heritage comparable with Leeds, Wigan, St Helens, Bradford? even Widnes? Even though their sole success in the last 50 years has been a solitary Yorkshire Cup?

And has been for umpteen years and this has never been turned into an advantage.

Im 4 month away from potentially shagging Megan Fox. Im also 4 month away from potentially not.

There is realistically only one club with similar issues. A club which isnt harking back ten years to think of quality players it has produced. A club with better attendances, and a club which didnt go bust at the start of the year.

Standards have improved. It is a fact of life that when standards improve, those who cant keep up are left behind. It is necessary.

Indeed. 8 teams at the top flight? That's not a sport, it's a hobby.

Without a massive hike in the SC how would these 8 clubs support all the elite players who currently play in the entire SL? And what happens to the clubs who lose all these elite players to the Super 8? How would that affect the gap between the top flight and the other tiers?

Not wishing to be pedantic but the City of Salford doesn't have a professional football team

Halifax doesnt have a league football team either.

Is Halifax a city ?

It is as big as the area Wakefield fans argue is their 'area'. The term 'city' is essentially meaningless. An area can simply decide it is a 'city' if it wants ala Perth.

But if we are being pedantic, whilst Halifax wouldnt count as it isnt a City. In that context London doesnt have a football team

The term was a city , Halifax isn't a city , I wasn't being pedantic , the previous posters weren't being pedantic , it's just you not reading things before posting that is the problem

And as I said, the term 'city' is essentially meaningless.

Though thinking about it now, it seems obvious we should have expected you to get yourself caught up in the pedantry of something essentially meaningless.

I've witnessed your pedantry with regards the geography of Yorkshire citys,towns and villages before , and have no wish whatsoever to get involved in any discussion about it

The previous poster said city , you said Halifax , Halifax isn't a city , end of

No.

Yet he still manages to squirm and than explain the term City is 'meaningless'

What a joke.

Doesn't half make me laugh the VT sometimes. If its not broke don't fix it. More youngsters in SL than ever before and the lower clubs imo are slowly but surely improving each year.

It's not happening like that though. More youngsters, but the standard is terrible and it's not bottom improving, it's top weakening. Compare the line ups for the Grand Final winners in 2003/4/5/6 to Wigan last year.

awwww is that because Saints are rubbish now

We are indeed. Yet we're still 4th and were in touching distance of top spot until last weekend? Says it all about the standard of the league. It's definitely closer, but it's not the standard of the bottoms teams moving upwards, it's the top teams being levelled off.

Compare the national side back then to the one now. Wellens, Long, Cunningham, Senior. These players have all retired/moved on from international rugby and we need to start replacing these with young established SL talent.

Tosh, ask any KR fan, Cas fan, Hudds fan, Wigan fan, Wire fan, Catalans fan, Crusaders fan and probably salford fan are they in a better position as a club now than they were 4 or 5 years ago and ill tell you what the answer would be

And on the way in.

Is having an RL team in a city without a football team is different to having an RL team in a non-city without a football team?

Ha ha! It hurts doesn't it?

Didn't you want to include Bradford in it?

Sorry, that doesn't make sense!!

They could pick up the talent that was discarded when the non-Super teams were folded and they would benefit from being first draft pick for three years.

Is it really, because in your many previous posts it's been a foundation requirement for you and your fantasies.

OK if it's meaningless (unbelievable twisted nonesense from TA as usual), how about MDC (322,300 population) without a pro football team.

You are beyond dull a tedious pedant extreme, if you are married your partner has my deepest sympathy. Anyone who quotes and answers like you has issues.
