Newcastle have ambition, they have an academy and reserve team, a decent stadium, a fanbase that is growing year on year, as is participation in the amateur game in the North East.

I agree and if they continue to build they will eventually earn promotion.

I went to York v Bradford a few weeks ago. In summer, the most beautiful city in the UK to watch pro RL. So easy to get to by train. A lovely walk to the ground. It's a shame they are moving really.

No no no, sadly that method rarely pays off for lower league teams. You gain promotion or avoid relegation by signing several experienced Super League/NRL players on short term deals in July and August.

He has been playing on one leg for the last month and has been completely ineffective at best, probably a bit of a liability on field in honest. We are better off without him on the field at this moment in time.

Only thing that's missing is serious investment. Same with Toulouse, York and most others on the wish list. As ever, this gets conveniently overlooked whenever someone comes up with a fantasy super league.
