Not just that. I'm pretty sure Wakefield blew up the twin towers and killed Dianna to be honest.

The direction of travel for the sport and the myriad of failed restructures are all down to little old Wakefield.


At least you've given me a laugh this morning

Little, old...
I notice you don't list the club's achievements. Or big games even. It's indisputable. Huge amounts of TV money spent to achieve 9-11th place.

As there are only 4 SL clubs that have won the grand final, then by your reasoning, all the other eight clubs in super league, have been a waste of money. Just saying.

No I don't think that. I think all the other clubs have shown ambition. Hull, Cas and Wire, even Hudds have had memorable sides. Mr Davy has done everything possible. Hull KR try their best and their fans are passionate. If they were a good side I think they'd get 8-10k plus the big derby games. All credit to the people at Salford who have risen from what looked like dead. I think all these clubs have contributed to the promotion of SL to greater or lesser extent.

Wakefield are a significant net minus.

How come when we do a raffle on the Bulls board about which one of us should lay into Wakefield I never get chosen? It's rigged.

Re: Superleague re-structure : Tue May 18, 2021 4:58 pm  

Lmao, the last umpteen attempts have been dismal failures, so lets have Manchester-Wigan, Liverpool-St Helens, Leeds (I guess they're just about well enough known), Hull United, rebrand the merged Cumbrian sides as Scottish Borderers.....yeah, you get my drift....what a load of B*******s

Does anyone on here know if the meeting of SL and the RFL management is still taking place tomorrow (Wednesday 19th )]?. I think it was initially to discuss the distribution of the next lot of Sky funding, but there has been a suggestion it may also include discussion on promotion and relegation.

And yet, they have managed to maintain their spot in SL.
Poor Bradford failed to beat them when it mattered and went into a death spiral, shame really, as they used to be quite a force in SL.
You really need to get over the MPG, there's plenty of water gone under the proverbial bridge and right now, the game has many bigger issues to get through, not least the drop in funding and even more importantly, the drop off in numbers playing the game post covid, which will have a huge effect on the player pool, which was already shrinking.
These are the issues that need focus and not pissing about with the structure, again or, bemoaning the fact that Trinity are where you want your beloved Bulls to be.

The structure does require change. The super 8’s for all it’s bias, created intrigue. Clubs forced to spend to regain position and clubs forced to spend to promote position. Entertaining and vey costly to clubs on the receiving end. Hence goodbye super 8’s.

If they take the approach of 2 x 10, the product will again become stale. You can throw who want to into SL2 but the stale product SL will still remain.

Without serious money being pumped in to this idea, it’s dead before it starts.

Bring back the Championship Eights and the Million Squid Game, as a Bronco, I'm a huge fam, lmao....No, seriously, I did think at least it meant SL clubs only got replaced by something marhinally better rather than something decididly worse.
