I said it before. A stadium does not make a licence bid. For me this is the only place we beat wakefield.

There are two areas all championship clubs need to be angry over:

1. Championship clubs can never, and if SL clubs are run properly, should never be able to compete with a licence bid from a SL club.

2. The RFL should have told us our bid was not good enough when they received it and not used us a pawn in their game to give the process credibility.

Other championship clubs can laugh and our board can bitch and moan as much as they want but unless the championship clubs unite and raise these concerns to the RFL in a sensible and considered manner nothing will change and we will all be used to play lip service to their system being acheivable for all.

We have been the best club in the championship, bar widnes for three years and I suspect we came nowhere near. That is very very worrying!

We were most definitely used. They knew both Crusaders and Wakefield were in trouble at the start of the year. We were simply kept in the process should both go under to give the RFL a get-out clause. Lucky for Wakey they found a rich benefactor to save their bacon. Simple as that really.

Freddie .... if all of a sudden we had a member on our Board of Directors who had "business interests on a par with Mssrs Lewis and Wood, and enjoyed the same kind of activities", then maybe ... just maybe .... we would immediately "tick all the necessary boxes".

Ah, I expected that. Just pointing out that the "impossible" can be achieved.

But - don't worry - stick with your Everybody-hates-us-we've-got-a-great-Super-league-bid-and-we're-trying-as-hard-as-we-can-and-we're-much-better-than-everyone-in-Superleague-already-so-we-don't-know-why-they-won't-let-us-in-because-there's-nothing-we-can-improve-on attitude.

No skin off my nose.

No point in that, Freddie. Paranoia's set in.

Well if that is the case then just leave us to our own self distruction and go and support your team.

As pointed out previously your constant negative comments about Halifax will not get you Worrincy back, or Sam Barlow or reverse the semi final result or remove any of the others reasons why you keep popping away because that is all you are here for.

No - I'm here because I'm fed up of reading and hearing self-pitying drivel from Halifax.
