But for every one cancelled in the NW, there'll be three new subscribers from Wales

No, in fact it’s realty s**t!

CC are anothing club that has simply been able to recruit as many Aussies as it wants and doesn’t have to worry about the salary cap.

Even without being able to recruit players, from a distinctly less prolific pool, Widnes have scored more points than CC. They have had every advantage, and yet are still lagging behind Widnes. They will be a disaster in SL.



No it wont. It will show what a powerhouse of talent Australia is and nothing more.


SL is not the be all and end all for a real RL fan.



Right ….OK…..you think it’ll actually have some effect….?

Actually, that's not a fact. It's a fantasy. hth.



As is that. Unless you've got actual evidence of salary cap breaches? …




No. Thought not.

Are you sure ?

When did they state this ?

I do seem to recall them saying that the top performing club in NL 1 will get a place in SL in 2012 even if they have to expand the comp but nothing about any clubs losing their place

They have over 8 oversea's players in their squad

I did the same and got another 3 months free.

Think you're right Starbug - either SL will expand to 15 teams or a current team would drop out.

anybody still doing the same as me not paying their sky subscription,and cutting of their nose to spite their face till sky and S/L bring back relegation and promotion

No but I might cancel mine if they dont pack in this MOOOVE rubbish

I keep the sky for the football, but I've not watched any of the league for years.

It's just lost its shine, I wont be tuning in any time soon either.

I agree it a disgrace in sport to not give all teams a chance.

Who are we? Only the paying customers actually here now not the imaginary droves apparently waiting in the wings.

All we can do is act like dissatisfied customers, and no more than that. Hence people curious about rugby league get told exactly what I think of it instead of encouragement to watch it and a complete shut down on any support. I just don't have any love for it any more.

Widnes is my one tie, ing me off as they are they'll at least always have my support.

So its not just me then.



MOOOOOOOOVE!! 5 seconds later MOOOOOVE!! 10 seconds after that MOOOOOVE!! Gives me an headache after a while.

Watching Cas V Warrington I put my headphones on and listened to music while watching! Its just getting ridiculous, Thaler just goes over the top though

The ref should not be telling the players to move, he should be penalising them for not moving, laying on is ruining the game.

55,000 actually, but never mind.

Doubtful , more like 20,000 in total

either way we wouldn get promoted were s hite

No,it's not just you.I have mentioned it before,the reff sounds like some village idiot doing farmyard impressions.

I still have sky, never seen the point in all this cancelling subscriptions etc the decision has been made and we get on with it.


Leythers are a different breed though.

Different breed yes but still got mostly 2 of some things and 10 of others



I've still got SKY by the way , doubt uncle Rupert would be too bothered about losing a couple of grand from the viewers of Leigh

As much as those in charge of our game are a bunch of idiots, I still love watching a good game of RL. I only got Sky Sports at the last WCC, certainly beats having to put up with Coronation Street or Eastenders, the missus has taken a passing interest and as even put it on reminder for me

Changed from Sky to Virgin and I've got to say that I don't really miss not having SL at all.
I personally boycott all things RL and have done from the 22.07.08 that don't involve Widnes. I'm still incredibly bitter about the thing and will be for the foreseeable future. Don't see a problem with it and don't mind people saying it. I certainly don't see being called bitter as an insult.
I would say that my attitude to UK RL is somewhere between contempt and a general malaise and moves up and down on that scale. I would say that quite a few people on these forums (the expansionistas) only serve to reinforce my contempt with their 'I'm aright jack' attitude.
