Quote ="Jim Pooley"Point of order.
Plenty of folk whined about licencing....resulting in the RFL binning it after 4 years.
Leigh won their division and are entitled to a bauble. Leigh, Bradford, Sheffield and Halifax have earned the right to contest for a place in SL, but the relig8 trophy is a meaningless competition. Handing out a trophy doesn't change that.
This is the national league competition, not a tournament or cup competition. We've played the other teams twice....seems good enough for a great deal of sports who have "losers" competitions in their cup formats.
It's a stupid system that the RFL emailed me about today claiming "sold out" games and every second counting when in reality Halifax and Sheffield (maybe Bradford too) are about to have 500 points stuck on them over 7 games in return for hosting the massed away fans of the Salford? As for keeping us interested in the competition? 543 hardy souls bothered with the last game of the regular season, giving us a grand total of 8,050 fans in attendance over 11 games.....we are already virtually(2 wins) assured of a semi-final spot so I suspect that the 731 average will get pegged back a tad over the coming months.
Interesting factoid for you buddy.
A grand total of 9 more fans visited the hive this season over 11 games than attended David Hughes first game in sole ownership of the club.......now that's a spectacular fall if ever there was!'"
