I think you give Wakefield and Castleford too much credit on their power and influence.

The fact is sport is not a democracy; but fine, IMO Lamport stadium should not be allowed into SL, the Mend a Hose and Mobile Rocket should not be allowed into SL either then, I'm okay with that. Leigh to replace Wakefield in SL and Cas to play at Headingley or Huddersfield.

It's been 15 long years since anyone other than wigan saints or leeds won the title. We've had prentenders over the years, like huddersfield, who used to beat the big teams in regular games and give it billy big bollox. They always fall flat when it matters.

This won't change, possibly ever.

The problem is there's not enough good clubs, most of them are crap so they outnumber the good clubs and through a fair and democratic process get 'their way'.

Teams like wigan should have more control, afterall they supply most of the league with players through youth production.

As much as it pains me to say it, I can see Warrington having their name on the trophy within the next 5 years, once they manage to get a decent coach. They have always had the players to do so, they just lack someone with the coaching acumen to get them over the line. And do you know what, I hope they do as it will finally give Moran something to smile about after everything he has done for the club.

If it wasnt for the likes of Moran, McManus, Hetherington and Lenegan, we would be a league of Wakefields and Hull KR's which would eventually lead to a semi pro league.
