Yes the team is threadbare, we may well get relegated but that's irrelevant because as I say we always would have been. These people spouting on about all the money invested in the ground and nothing on the team need to get this through their skulls. There was never any choice, Ground first, team second.
A Trinity in the Championship is better than no Trinity at all, that is the stark truth - this season is the ultimate last throw of the dice and always was, even if we'd signed the entire Australian Test Squad it will still be BV that decides it all.'"
If that was been communicated the Club form the powers that be why did IMG just give the Ground criteria a weighting of 15%. It's basically given Cas a lifeline. | | |

Yes or at least they would have done had we not started the redevelopment. Unlike Cas for example, BV was not just un-fit for purpose but was about to have its capacity cut to 4,600 (approx.). This would been way below basic SL criteria, but more to the point would have made the club financially impotent. That would have meant that the money spinners against Leeds, Cas and a few others couldn't happen. If 4,600 was the biggest crowd we were ever going to get in 2023 then we'd have had no more money than we have now. But unlike now there would have been no way out of it. At present we have a short term issue, without the re-development it would have been permanent.
Truth is we have to suck it up this season and run with what we have. Nobody is unaware of the risks or the possible outcome, but there simply is no choice. I'm not having a pop at you or most other posters here, I'm being genuine, if you have an alternative I'd like to hear it because I can't see one.

He was very fair I thought.
And lets be honest, (although it counts for nowt) we played better against Shudds than Cas did........... | | |

Truth is Wigan apart we have not been terrible, we just lack something. On a better night we could have scalped Catalans whilst Hudds were there to be beaten, they were one try better than us on the night but it could just as easily have been the other way around.
I accept we are dull to watch, but you have to build the foundations first. | | |

It’s another case of clarity… from what I read (understand would be impossible as yet) if you are grade A you are in… until there are a minimum of 12 grade A clubs,, SL will be filled out with the top scoring Grade B clubs (regardless of where they finish in the league) … when there are 12 grade A … any additional or new grade A will be added to expand the league…
I assume this applies to all teams within the club…
