Here and now is simple

You are in SL and every effort should be made to keep you there

Everybody below SL , well who gives a stuff

I do, I'm still interested in conference results and other Leagues we've played in as a result of meeting a good bunch of fans from other teams and I keep an eye on their results also. My issue is that people constantly revisit things that no-one can change and whilst people have a view over the why's and wherefore's of who cares about what League, I'm interested in how a number of teams are doing and find the constant 'Crusdaers were given the world on plate' dialogue tiresome now, what's done is done (easier for me to say granted)

Problem some of us have is , is it going to happen again

The number of ex fans I have spoken to that no longer come because they see us no longer playing meaningful games is scary

All the best

How would they have been losing finalists?

Because they lost in the final.

Salford would have gone up automatic and Crusaders made the final which meant they were the best of the rest so to speak.

They may well have been but the argument made was that Salford only got promoted because of the licensing system. Not true. Had they finished top under the normal system, they would have gone up.

Crusaders finished second. This normally gets you nothing but they got a franchise. In any previous year they would have another year of national league rugby.

No the point is there are more not normal than normal seasons at the moment

The RFL are constantly changing things

The whole "You don't deserve to be in superleague" argument just never gets old does it?

Just like science and atheists refuse to engage born again Xtinas in debate about creationism because it is stupid to argue with the intellectually retarded, we should just not engage flat cappers with an axe to grind.

My the air pressure's low up here on the moral high ground

and of course managing the stresses from being "alright Jack" is a burden that you are having to bear too Grendel!

Down here in the cess pool things are a bit murky now the lifeline has been taken off me!!!

I don't think the RFL made the right decision and I think Crusaders are paying the price for being put into SL too early.

That doesn't mean that I want to see Crusaders booted out of SL or fail.

I just want to see future licensing decisions, particularly those regarding expansion clubs, to be rather more thought out.
