Top post Brew.
I agree we have to 'do a Widnes' and take this on the chin, keep positive and make sure we keep doing things right on and off the field.
We have to make sure that the RFL and Sky make us the next club that 'should get into SL' based on merit.
The most important thing for me is to ensure we do well off the field as it seems that wins the RFL over even more than results on the field in relation to Franchises (look at Widnes).
Obviously as a fan we want success and I am not saying we should not strive to win things but we must not give our detractors any material to use against us.
We never know the RFL may see sense and kick 2 teams out of SL letting us in, based on their own system there are 3 clubs who do not 'tick all the boxes' right now so we do have a chance.
In the meantime I would love to thrash Widnes when we play them just to stick two fingers up to this system.
