If Leeds had put in Hull KR's effort, I don't think they would have achieved as they have in reality. But at the same time if Hull KR had put in Leeds' effort, I doubt they would have achieved to the extent Leeds have.
if they had put the effort leeds have, then their acheivements, regardless of whether or not matched leeds, would be very very good

Champions of junior development? Champions of dummy spitting more like! I hope the next generation of Saints 'stars' don't develop the 'Wellens dummy spit'. If the refs don't stamp it out now we'll end up like football, aren't you supposed to be sent to the bin for throwing a tantrum at the ref?

Would you like that applied to Warrington too, who received a warning from the ref last night for whinging about loads of decisions?

Perfectly reasonable summation.

thats where economies of scale come in,
your point probably works if we for some reason decide only variable costs are applied to match day revenue, which is frankly pretty pointless
your logic seems to suggest that fixed costs arent applied to the 2k extra fans hull kr (dont) bring, but thats as true for the 1st fan as it is the last coming through the gates unsurprisingly, you're being silly
Ah so the concept of marginal costs is foreign to you. That explains a lot. Thank you.
Can I just say, anyone that thinks Hull KR won't be chucked out of SL because they bring a lot of away fans is an idiot.
Hull KR aren't exactly a big draw. They don't get fans thinking "ooh, Hull KR, this is a must watch game". They may bring a lot over, but I reckon a fair few of the floating home fans won't give a cr*p about a game against Hull KR and will probably stay home.
I aren't saying it isn't good that Hull KR bring a lot of fans away with them, by the way. I'm just saying it is not really significant at all, especially in the franchise decisions. And especially when you look at things like sponsorship, media coverage, etc. of the league. Away fans at one game is pocket-change to clubs that can turn-over millions.

But will they be chucked out of SL because they are not the best development club in the world either ?
That is the question in point here

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
