To be fair you could say the same about the bottom half of the Premier League (different sport i know but the priciple is the same)

I think so long as you're not getting tonked week in, week out it's still a good place to be - even for Crusaders and Quins.

Is there any room for mediocrity in a franchized league?

Yes - the RFL welcome it with open arms. I think it's their non-discrimination policy.

The RFL & SL clubs are too far stuck up their own booty! If we must have Quins and the Welsh Nomads in then cut the SKy money for the Heartland teams and give more money from Sky to them 2. The heartland clubs need to get away from relying so much on Sky money and only waste it as it is. Maybe if the 2 Expansion clubs had more money they would be better run and have better players as a result. The extra money must be used for marketing and bringing through youngsters rather than just wasted on players though!

Horrible viewing. Put another Champ game on a week a say. Not just the Thursday night fixture.

Maybe, but not Hunslet v Dewsbury again.

Haha, true that. That was even worse!

Well I didn't think it was a bad game at all. Some cracking defence from both sides and a very good atmosphere, it must be said. I was stood with the Cru fans (about 4-500 of them) and they were VERY vocal, and the Shed made a hell of a racket at times.

only 3,400 in attendance, didn't look 500 Crusaders fans Matt, looked about 300ish on TV.

The game itself was awful.
