Ultimately regardless of any rivalries it’s beneficial for all clubs to be strong in championship, the img malarkey is just a re hash of the old licensing debacle and some clubs may go to the wall , in any normal sport Featherstone would have been automatically promoted as champions with the other clubs playing in a playoff for the remaining promotion spot . I’m completely disinterested in superleague so much so at Wembley last year didn’t even watch the challenge cup with any interest whatsoever .
I remember as a younger man being barred from bar centro by dalli whiley ( 1998 World Cup ) for wearing an England shirt ( that was a stupid rule too ) not been back in since . Same rule applies to super league .
