It gets better

Every chapter pointing to an ending you can see coming!

Are you watching Richard Lewis



Wonder if the RFL could be implicated if there are 'irregularities'. Glad the attention is off us for the moment anyway.

Is it just a coincidence that the 3 named players are being released at the end of the season

IT S A FARCE

Jeez..... now theres something none of us saw coming

Waits in anticipation for the excuses come flooding out or the "under the carpet" treatment!

I really shouldn't chuckle..but..

It will be swept under a large carpet at red hall

It all sounds strangely familiar...

I see the RFL are trying to distract the press with an announcement showing a record turnover www.totalrl.com/features/content ... tcat_id=49

It really is a complete waste of everyone's money trying to establish a RL team in Wales,why the authorities cannot see the blindingly obvious is an utter mystery to The Watcher.This is just another episode in an already over running comedy of errors.

I was discussing this at work this afternoon, and as I said then, I dare say we'd all say less if it was in an untried area, but the "Welsh Experiment" has failed time and time again.

The plot thickens

Shame on you

You should have got one of todays national (important word to RL) newspapers and seen what benefits there are. There is a much bigger picture to consider......
Hopefully Celtic will get through this. If multinational and international companies can be brought to their knees in the current climate then I think sporting clubs get effected too surely.

Also the "Welsh Experiment" has not been tried again and again. The last attempts tried where watered down, half hearted attempts in a time when we played in winter against the other major sports in a part time low budget, low profile sport......Its a lot different now, Full time, Summer, Proper TV deal etc etc has changed all that and gives them a better chance in Wales. Wales needs time, and someone(s) to keep promoting the game down there. 10 years down the line Wales/England/France tournemonts could be the reward......and a more battled hardened England actually standing up to be counted against the convicts
You could say that because loads of clubs have again and again gone under in the "heartlands" then the game is failing in those areas too.

Rugby League just exports a tree and doesn't check the garden first....

There are many trees that grow in gardens from around the world that wasn't around in this country before......plant them and look after them and they eventually flourish on their own in this country.
I am doing overhaul of my garden at moment which is reason for my posted analogy.

If I planted a coconut tree in my garden I'd bet my backside on Canal Street it wouldn't last more than 6 months.

You will let us know which trees die won't you. Banana trees don't really thrive in this country

Can't believe you beat me to that analogy by the time it took me to type it

But would you bet your backside on it?

So coconut trees and banana trees won't grow in this country ? They will if done with a monster greenhouse

The analogy does work still because there are 100's of plants that will flourish

I got a few in my garden, and I'm no gardener person.

Anyway back on thread......Celtic and RFL are dirty cheats, RFL are giving money to clubs outside heartland.......Richard Lewis should resign, Celtic should spend 50 years in wilderness and do it the right way, Celtic have been in SL all of a few months and still no squad of 13 Welsh players, there will never be interest in RL down there so don't show em, RL is a northern game, we should break away, Sky are ruining RL........


Can I be in your gang now ?


I am exagerating for this thread of course but these things do come up on here.

ps nearly forgot - Wakey v Cas

I`ve got plenty of thistles growing in my garden so the " Wrong side of Adrians Wall " are a shoe in for 2012............

Anything will grow anywhere


Depends how much bullsh*t you put on it
