Wow, what a waste of an internet connection you are, do you have a point to your existance?

Glad you can see that , us northerners dont like being patrowosited do we

i agree with you 100% on the principle, but would the NL clubs agree to being seen as inferior (right word?) when many have SL aspirations.

i feel that if SL follows the NRL on many of their ideas it will only improve the game here.

It would take a massive culture change and change of attitude by fans but could ultimately lead to the long term sustainability of pro RL outside SL. There will always be clubs outside of SL who have aspirations of making it one day (as the Bears, Dolphins and Reds do in the Q'land,NSW&Bundy cup in Oz) but for many they will never, ever be a SL club and their long term sustainability will be based on having a purpose and being useful to the overall structure of pro RL.

I do value the Championship. I do not value some of the people that are associated with them unfortunately. The guy that I originally quoted seemed to not see how having quality young players in your team instead of superleague drop outs would benefit the Championship. Championship teams have been saying for years that Superleague teams have forgotten about them and do not want to include the Championship in their plans. Well now they have and people are stilllll moaning.

What needs to happen is the teams/administrators/fans of Championship teams need to value the competition rather than just wanting to get out of it and into Superleague.



Good point. But a lot of Academy/Second Team players do tend to fall through the cracks due to them not getting any first team experience at their SL club. There is a big gap between 2nd team and 1st team. Moving to a Championship team for a couple of seasons will allow young players to establish themselves at the club. Even if they do not gain a Superleague start they are more likely to make it at championship level as they have established themselves in their placement team. That is much better than if they had spent 4 years in the A team and then disappearing as no one has heard of them.



One of the reasons I come on here is to get on other fans nerves. It is just a bit of friendly banter. In your case I have obviously succeeded

Fine I dont think you would have any championship clubs complaining about season long loan deals , you then mention SL dropouts but later in your post you state that these players if they dont make SL they ' are more likely to make it at Championship level as they have established themselves in their placement team ' , surely they are then SL dropouts

Would you like to explain how the SL clubs are including the Championship clubs in their plans more now than they did before the end of P and R ?

Well thing is we'd like to value our competition more but the RFL keep sticking teams in it on their way through it to SL , so not really helping us there are they
