| Quote ="Winslade's Offload"Yes, not good. I think the RL chairmen are actually meeting today, with the structure of SL being top of the agenda. Lets hope the topic of the academies is also under discussion. I don't know how many, but certainly some of the younger players are off to Oz to play in the Queensland Cup - I think Lee Mitchell is one of them (Central Queensland).'"
Good luck to them, QLD Cup is a great competition, but the number of players heading down under worries me. Have friends who were at the Hull FC and Leigh fans forums yesterday, apparently it was said by Adam Pearson that a return to promotion and relegation is likely, and it was said at the LSV that Paul Rowley supports the idea of a two tier Super League and promotion and relegation is set to return in some form, possibly one up/one down but in order to gain promotion the club must meet the franchise criteria.
All in all sounds like there could be some big decisions made at this two day meeting, but will turkeys vote for an early Christmas?

Good point. Perhaps the turkeys feel 'its not going to be me that goes down' ?
That is Gatcliffe and AP that have both talked about a new structure for SL (and you can bet your grandma that they chat between themselves prior to a meeting), so its possible that there is already a consensus for both promotion and a smaller league ?

Possibly, I am not too sure how these meeting work and how resolutions on such issues are passed, I imagine Widnes, Salford et al would be unwilling to support a reduction in the number of clubs or P&R, but then as you say there will be a lot of cloak and dagger discussions going on behind the scenes. The Watkins review said that clubs, and in particular Championship clubs needed to be given more of a voice, though this doesn't seem to have happened as of yet.

| High point was the CC Final, I think it was my favourite of our 3 wins. It felt like we were achieving history.
Low point was being 22-6 up at halftime at Craven Park and ending up losing. It was a sloppy game and I hate those games when a comeback is on and you are powerless to do anything about it, but are on the receiving end of it.

| I wont go for the obvious CC and GF so my good would be walking back to Wigan station with the feeling we'd just mugged them after being second best for large periods of the game and low would be how frustrating it was at the start of the season seeing us losing the ball so often trying to pull off big 'hollywood' passes and outrageous off loads with EVERY play of the ball !

That was very frustrating, particularly at Leeds and Odsal from what I can remember. We didn't really get going until after Easter, but managed to scrape by with a fair few lucky escapes.

| High was the play off win at Saints. By far the best Warrington game I've ever been to atmosphere wise. I remember sitting on the coach on the way back thinking 'my god, next week my team's going to walk out at Old Trafford' Then I thought back 10 years to 2002, and when Cullen came in and saved us from relegation. I often think to myself 'Where would we be right now if Cullen didn't come in and save us?' and I honestly don't know where we'd be. Championship or Championship 1. Who knows?
For me there wasn't a low point. Collectively every team has to have defeats in a season, it's a natural thing to happen. Last year we didn't have back to back defeats. I think that's an achievement in itself. We reached the grand final and won the cup. How can anybody pick out a low point from that?

You pulling a muscle when Waterhouse scored his second was a season highlight!
