Please don’t speak about the championships on this forum ever again.

You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself every time you get stuffed by fifty(50) things will improve eventually.

Bradford

Ha ha ha shocking banter. That’s like something a five year old would come out with. Have you ever kissed a girl?

Only his mum

Criticises my 'banter' and then comes out with the tiest piece of banter there is.

At least you didn't bring up Wakefield I suppose.

That’s a no then

It says “TODAYS Championship matches” as in yesterday - not next season

I think we are looking at below expectations for Bradford and London this season and i don't think either of then will be in the shake up at the end of the season

Absolute reality check for both sides and shows that they were/are probably nowhere near being ready for Super League.

It’s hardly a reality check my never been kissed friend. Bradford were never tipped for promotion and Sheffield have a better squad than us. The result is hardly a shock - maybe the score line but the way we’re shipping points it won’t be the first thumping we can expect.

Thankfully because the difference between the top of the championship and the bottom is so great we’ll finish about midway down the league.

So league express tipped Bradford to be one of nine clubs fighting for a top six place and that’s your evidence that we were one of the clubs favoured to go up?

Wanna buy some magic beans?

Wow your even angry over that, I'm trying to give you confidence for your next game no need to go off on one

Us Londoners aren't expecting much more than mid-table, so I don't think we'll be below expectation unless we get relegated.

Did you not apply for the Super League place? My mistake.

Brilliant I was waiting for this one.

1. Why wouldn’t we apply? it was our only chance of promotion.
2. Thanks to s like the chairman of your club enough people were bullied into voting for super league clubs to mitigate their failure to secure sufficient money from broadcasters. The result being championship clubs will probably have no central funding next year. If that was
3. With a super league budget you wouldn’t have assembled a squad like ours which is based on a championship budget. With more money available you can sign better players - I know it’s a strange concept.

So you were going to sign 25 new players were you? And from where would you have signed these players weeks before the season starts? How many have Leigh signed?

Why should Championship clubs get money from the tv deal when they are never on tv under said tv deal?

I’ve no idea I’m not John Kear. What have Leigh got to do with Bradford? Their squad was already better than everyone else’s in the division. Again none of these means anyone other than ill informed people like you thought Bradford were promotion material.



Because Championship clubs aren’t allowed to sell the rights to their games because the summer bash and play off games are shown on Sky.

Because Leigh got the vote. Why? Because they were more ready for SL than the others. By applying, your club obviously felt you were ready. 1 year of SL money and hiding after hiding wasn't exactly going to get you anywhere so there must have been a belief from the powers that be that you could compete. The two games i've seen from you so far majorly suggest otherwise. All my opinion of course.



Well that's their fault for agreeing to that deal then. They could have said no thanks and found their own deal, but they accepted the hand out instead.

Correct

I pretty much doubt however that your application said "we'll get stuffed every week cos we're crap but please please let us in"

That still doesn’t have any bearing on the merits of the actual squad assembled to compete in the championship this season but keep trying. You’ll get there one day. A bit like getting a girl to kiss you.

Again - as it's pretty much the same squad you would have had in SL you obviously felt it was good enough. Unless of course my previous post was exactly what you put in your application.
