I don't know if this has already been seen and commented on earlier, but last night I read the interview with Ryan O' Neill, the co owner at Keighley, amf him blaming IMG for this move.
He said that Gale wanted a guaranteed opportunity to return to super league. As it stands, we're only potentially able to offer this on a temporary basis, of around 12 games, but he's currently signed up for the next 18 months or so.
Could there be something in the rumour a couple of weeks back that we were going with 14 teams.
As a concerned Hull fan, worried about our own status in SL, I feel for you and would never want to see Wakefield in the wilderness, I have had some cracking away days at BV over the years and pray that continues. I have also heard that there will be no relegation, this year, from a source who is normally about 90% accurate with his information.
Expansion of the game will never really happen, we are as a sport, further behind RU than we have ever been, in terms of appeal and media preference, so we should stick to what we have , the heartland, a corridor of the M62 , and try to get Featherstone , Halifax and Bradford back to the top level. For all it seems like a three way relegation scrap between you, us at Hull and Castleford this sport cannot afford to lose any of those clubs, at a time when, professionally, our game is suffering a slow death.
