Reorganisation of SL : Thu May 09, 2013 8:26 pm  

Vaguely embarrassed by the Warder giving his views after 5 minutes in the game on Boots and All.

I don't have access to boots and all. What was said "a two tier system, smaller ground capacity and with sub 1k crowd targets?

Gus spoke about "the opportunities" the three tiers would create. Is he resigned to the fact we would be clear favourites amongst the 4 SL clubs to be relegated to the second tier if that system is adopted? As Cas, Salford, Widnes, Wakey are all strengthening in one way or another, that is most likely to happen unless we get rid of the under performers in the squad by next season.

If Gus's objective was to turn us into a second rate team he is doing a good job.

Not sure if you can blame him for the team, but turning us into a second rate ClLUB he is not just doing a good job but an excellent one.

John Wells described it as a £1m gamble with one CEO of the two bottom SL clubs prepared to take the gamble. Add that to Gus's comments on parachute payments and I paraphrase 'some clubs may want to drop down to reassess and rebuild'. I wonder which area of discussion we fit into.

Sounds like we've got a fait accompli on our hands doesn't it?

Looks like TO are guaranteed a place in 2015. I bet we have already opted to stand down, but I would love to be proved wrong. Hull KR/Cas may be favourites to join us!

If we do drop that shows a lack of ambition and I cannot see where LB's future fits into SL.

Re: Reorganisation of SL : Fri May 10, 2013 2:05 pm  

TO might be in the set up for SL2 in 2015 but the gamble is which of the current 14 SL teams end up in the bottom two at the end of next year that would then join them. Guess we'll know what our intentions are when we start to recruit for next year in comparison to the others.
