They're at least £14m away from Category A.

How far off are we.

Sorry, but I'm going to agree to disagree

The point is, Batch thinks so, and that is what mattered this time.

No one has said he has gone there for trophies. But he clearly thinks his chance of progression is better there.
It's a personal development thing I would think.
Playing in your favoured position
Playing in a team you think will develop you
Playing somewhere a bigger club will spot you
And being paid well I guess too.

It's not to say Wakefield isn't a good place to be. But he thinks Hull KR is better for him right now.

I'd take 2016, 2017 and 2018 out of the equation, but look overall from 2007, and I would hazard a guess that their win ratio is higher than ours. More often than not, I think, since they came into SL, they have finished above us.

Stats don't often lie.

They have also done something that we haven't achieved for 43 years.

Quite right, we have never embarrassed ourselves in a CC final.

Most clubs, as we know, are expected to go straight back down after winning promotion to super league. Our first year was 1999, theirs 2007, so we have had years ahead of them in getting it right.

We finished bottom in 2015, and didn't go down, we were so far off the pace it was unreal. In 2016, they went down, but finished,I think 2 places below us. They went down in golden point. How many times have we been scrambling and scraping on the last/last couple of times to stay up...several, they haven't.

On playing less games, was it always their doing, could we not have played smarter at times, and played the game.

Yes, lost by a record score, to an, at the time all conquering Leeds side, whilst battling in the middle 8's. In the same year, we couldn't beat a Leigh side, a division below us, when having a decent lead.

Like I said, I would hazard a guess, and say they have a greater win ratio overall, in SL games than what we have.

Sadly, like it or not, and I'm waiting for the usual meltdown from the likes of Vastcap, Chisels and Willzay, that I do agree with Batch and Aydin, that they stand better chance of Category A rugby and to challenge for silverware right now, than staying put

Not sure about the insult, my thoughts as I've already said he's gone move on, if your after a job at Caravan park on the promotional front you do know Hudgell doesn't read this board

Then why bring it up, it's called putting you on the horse and not giving you a ride.

Not really Chissels, I've had my fill of working within sports clubs and stadia.

Since Wakefield's first game in super league, we have played 633 regular rounds, with 231 wins. That is a win ratio of 36.49%.

During Hull KR's super league regular rounds, they have played 378 games, with 157 wins. That is a win ratio of 41.67%.

They're not challenging the top 4 with them stats, but it is definitely better than ours.

Why have we played nearly double the amount of SL games to what they have?

Come on, that's hardly rocket science is it?

We've been in SL consistently since 1998, whereas they've had several stints in the Championship

That's the point I was making.

He's here claiming HKR have a much better record in SL than us, but fails to mention that for half of that time they weren't even in SL. I'm not sure what his motives are but the spin he's putting on this is ridiculous.
