A point from boots n all last night : Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:21 pm  

forget the guys name from rfl who was interviewed and questioned about "the magic weekend" he went onto the subject of cardiff and development of the and it seems to all intents and purposes that celtic were gettin a super league licence no matter what to the detriment of widnes. He further added about development in scotland and a possible move to dublin in a couple of years it seems to me they are planning to have a club in s/l from all over europe (within reason) bit like the ru what are your (sensible) thoughts???

They are intent on killing our game with that kind of nonsense.

RL belongs in the heartlands, if we are gonna expand what about trying cumbria first of all.

Edinburgh and Dublin have no RL heritage what so ever.

I agree, the RFL seem to have forgotten about Rugby League in Cumbria.

How is a bank holiday weekend in one of Europe's most vibrant cities killing the game?

If Benidorm Bulldogs are accepted into SL, I'd be ecstatic.

Workington used to be in Super League, their average crowd was about 2,000. Seems like the people of Cumbria have forgotten about rugby league.

The only chance they've got is a merger of the clubs into one Cumbria side, and I doubt this will ever happen.

Yep let's watch our game stagnante with no development or forward-thinking at all. In fact we should go back to the winter game with one man and his dog watching on the sidelines

Cullen made no mention of Cumbria . though of course he does not wish Widnes to dip out on account of a side from there being admitted into SL.

When at Wire , he was always banging on about a Cumbrian side being in SL again.
