This really does start to take the mick and really devalues the Championship for me. Like Matt says it used to have the justification of giving young players real game time, and only a few at each club. These new deals and partnerships we see at Swinton sand others are basically fullfilling the feeder club prophecies we had a few seasons ago.

The Championship is a fine competition in its own right. We don't want to become the Super League fringe player and rehabilitation league, basically a glorified reserves comp.

They're sharing the same bitch!

In other words they are sheep following the crowd who either have no brains or don't give a damn about the state of the game as long as they are ok. I will not be spending anymore of my cash at their place untill this tripe ends.

Whitehaven can poke it also. They are a bunch of tools to.
