Anyway, RL clubs are tough cookies and whilst you might be new, it seems that enough of you have a passion to keep the club going. Yup, daft statements from the club are just part and parcel of it. Keep the faith and at least you can understand what your coach is talking about....

yes sorry
forgive me for mixing up the nrl in australia, with the nl1, just sometimes reading the posters on here, from the nl1, they have exactly the same standard of rugby, facilities, fans, and in some case locations

again sorry

Well, Lyon Price agrees Blackpool is better than Bondi Beach, and many NL fans don't need to sit in a grass bank to watch a game, so yup - we do!

Your castigating of Widnes fans is also well wide of the mark as well

I do sympathise with the fans,but lets have a level playing field.celtic cheated,and the consequence should be expulsion/demotion.celtic are in this position through incompitent management supported by red hall.

Well as long as they are demoted far enough down as we don`t want them back, for goodness sake one third of the team illegal workers . When I had my own business I was forever geting letters re` making sure who I was employing and was told if I did, a several thousand pound fine would be imposed.
I once had a visit as well telling me it was my responsibility, if they were employed by me.
I never employed illegals as there were plenty of our own to employ.
Same with the Celts all these years trying to get a team going there the place is full of rugby players use them don`t use Aussies.
