Why waste money on onfield performance?

Ah Super League, Stooper League. OK, we're not Widnes, we're not about to be given a leg up but for glorious days in October when victory brings a rush of adrenaline akin to the first bottle of Blue Nun consumed i thank the Board that we are who we are. The euphoria of a drop goal to clinch victory from the jaws of defeat - priceless.

You can't buy those days

I wonder when you'll get your appetite for Rugby League back? When you're in SL watching classy teams like Saints and Wigan running through your defences

OK, accountancy is interesting - it is my profession but when it comes to Rugby League i'd rather leave the work at my desk.

You've lost your thirst for sport in your quest for SL. When's the last time you commented on what goes on the pitch at Stobarts? Do you remember why you pay fifteen squid every fortnight? Enjoy it - really.

I was only replying to the comment from Nat! My thirst for the Sport is more than there don't you worry about it! Hence busy sorting out train plans for Fev & being as gutted as ever at our dismal playoff showing last year

Write a letter to Mr O'Connor - stating how appalled you are at the performances served up by the squad. If you sign it Richard Lewis he'll sit bolt upright and start the process of "Woodlewis".

Woodlewis will soon be added to the OED. It's a form of hypnotic psychosis brought on by various criteria issued by you know who (no, not Voldemort).

Im with you. The thing that sticks though is that we should be in SL this season taking our shot with the big boys, not because we have a fancy stadium and a guy willing to pump millions in to the club, but because we earnt it where it counts. On the field.

Watching Sky at the weekend and thought Phil Clarkes comments were quite funny and quite right. With Eddie banging on about the state of Cas stadium and Clarke just comes out and says that he is sick of hearing about facilities and that it should be on the filed that counts.

And where are they going to play? They've said a few times this is their last season at Belle Vue, the attendance there isn't massive, how many of those fans will travel to Barnsley to watch Championship Rugby?

If they get the boot from Super League then they've no real reason to move. Although I do believe they've still earmarked a move to Barnsley FC.

But there is talk of a covenant that as long as they want to play there [ and pay a reasonable rental ] they can , I predict Wakey will remain at Belle Vue for at least the next 3 years
