I hope so mate i was guttedfor them last time round the main worry is why have toulouse been brought straight into nl1 and they dont have to meet the criteria to apply for sl?

The rfl want these men in aswell bringing more has been aus players over for a payday it will turn into a massive jokeif there not carefull

Widnes handled the rejection well. The same can't be said for our lobby gobbling friends.

I really don't understand your reasoning, KW. The powers that be are trying to expand the game out of the M62 corridor and, therefore, expand the talent pool. They've already succeeded in London with several London born players coming through with Quins. If Catalan, Crusaders and Toulouse are similarly successful then the game will be in great shape.

Widnes - IN
Whichever one has made less progress with a stadium in Cas/Wakey - OUT

Leigh have no chance, nor do Barrow. Halifax possibly, but id be surprised.

Never get tired of looking at this.



Chances are here will be gone for a while again.

What a comic you are, who are you John Kear?????





P.S remind me never to take a bet off you

Vastman has always been a prat on the Wakey forum.. maybe he was trying to get a rise?

I was being polite when I called him a comic, ok I`ll tell it how it is he is stupid not even worth a rise.

THE BEST BITS!!

I don't think the old "he was just trying to get a bite" excuse works in this case. If that's what he was doing, he went to an awful lot of trouble analysing the two teams.

Best just to stick to your first assessment - he's a prat.

they didnt have the balls to say it in public.

but they agreed with everything leigh said about that tosspot lewis

Maybe if Leigh had kept it private they'd have come out of with some kind of class.

We could have had the Harlem Globetrotters turn out for us and Lewis would complain about the forward passes. Small town clubs do not fit in with the RFL's current remit; it's just going to be a gradual phasing out until this plan has achieved (despite the fact that the Premier League thrives on 'small towns done good')

you mean kiss his ?

say one thing in private another in public.

i call that two faced.

but then again theres something in the air in widnes

Where did vastman post that it's pure gold

Its from a thread just before we played them at home in April.

Does it?

No. I mean accept you didn't satisfy the criteria and pledge to work hard at meeting said criteria the next time licences are up for grabs.

Definitely. Biggest league in the world and next season it will have the likes of Bolton, Blackburn, Blackpool, Wigan and West Bromwich in the league, towns that generally would never register on the national radar if it wasn't for their football teams. Everyone loves a good underdog story.

Think I understand you now. 'Done good' means made it to Premier League? If so then I agree.
Not sure if it thrives on them though. Wasn't too long ago that the 'top' clubs wanted to reduce the number of clubs and allow fewer fairytale stories in football's top flight.

How long before this thread gets locked by the way?

And the reason it never happened is because the Premier League realised that people do like to see the little guys have their moment in the sun every once in a while, and at the end of the day people power rules in this sort of business - sadly the RFL seem intent on creating more and more games that are devoid of any atmosphere because away support is non-existent.

Woah woah woah! Don't start dissin blackpool now!!! haha

Quad (quadricep) strain, should be OK for next week.

Question: is a quadricep equal to two biceps?
