Wakefield and Doncaster is pretty much done.

I'm sure york and hull have joined

Leeds Rhinos should adopt Bradford Bulls, must be some mileage in that one!

SL can do one.

Feeder clubs.



Not a good way to go, IMO.

God forbid we go that way...

Can somebody explain will Swinton get these players free i.e not pay contract money,so will always be under the salary cap,even if Adrian Morley uses Swinton to reach match fitness.I am sorry do not like it or understand it Fax could be playing against 10 full time players.Will Warrington put one of their coaching staff in to oversea things at Swinton Wolves if they do watch Steve Mc leave pronto.

Halifax and Huddersfield next.

Can't see us letting any of our players go to Shudders.

I'm told that clubs including us, Fev, Keighley and some others (think Batley were mentioned) won't be going down this route

This is a step too far. I have been a Fax supporter for over fifty years now but if Fax went down this route that would be me finished with the professional game. Any chance of a statement from our club regarding feeder clubs/dual reg's?

We don't want to "feed" Superleague.



I'd rather starve them to death!

To be honest the way things are goinf I'm seriously thinking of packing the whole thing in, and this would certainly be the nail in the coffin.

If loads of us packed it in, the only way for the club to survive would be as a feeder club.........

imo. those who are going down this route know they will never compete in championship let alone SL. so the only way forward for them.

We've not exactly utilised the Dual Reg system too much, yeh we've had a couple of players on it but not relied on it either

Come on Norman, it's now that we need to pull together,

We few we happy few we happy band of men.

Henry V Agincourt. against all odds.

Go on then, as long as I;ve got my 2 fingers they will be pointing in the direction of Wood and SL.

Caan't find an emoticon for it thoughso this will have to do.

How about huddersfield and Sheffield?



Or hull and gateshead?



Now, all we need is to get away from Thrum hall, beg cattle boy Caisley to allow us access to his udder and we'll be right back where the super league Europe dream was born.



Just make sure the bigger club gets a million quid and the little one pi$$ed on from a great height











This is the completion of the original aim to merge clubs in my view, keep away at all costs
