What makes me laugh is the Widnes supporters that are mumbleing about sour grapes and such and saying we stayed quiet and eventually got our place.
But look how they have been treated during those 3yrs,they were held back for a club that has been rushed into Super League despite having no solid foundation .If the RFL had anything about them they would have put Widnes in when the permit scandal hit plus the lack of players being paid and going bust. Widnes could have been in earlier if the RFL had not protected them so much the whole lot stinks.

Widnes being passed over last time for Crusaders and Crusaders making a pigs ear of it . Don`t you believe that Widnes would have done a better job in Super League this last three years than Crusaders.

I thought our meeting with the RFL was Tuesday?

Re: Gets worse with the RFL & Crusaders! : Mon Aug 01, 2011 5:50 pm  

That is what Nigel Wood said on Boots last week as it was ther earliest date all parties involed could get together so unless something has changed it should be tomorrow.

The meeting with the RFL is Tuesday but I do believe Wood will not be there , my guess is it will be Rimmer.This man has been used by Wood and Lewis as well he was taken on specificly to do this job as the RFL knew it would be a rocky road. They saw him as a perfect candidate as he sold Sheffield down the river when he was CE and had them merge with Huddersfield then wiped Sheffield out.
He blames the Sheffield fans because he said they would not go to watch the matches at Huddersfield . He also had a dig at the RFL as he said they should never have let Sheffield restart - unbelievable.

Rimmer talks in the same way as he played...... RUBBISH!
