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!

Welcome to Real Rugby League!! Sadly, many clubs have always been professional outfits run by amateurs. At Widnes I think we've seen it all - we've had board members not turning up for crucial meetings because they 'had a snooker match', we've had chairman on the pitch saying 'Super League is in the bag', then not turning up for a crucial meeting thinking everything was OK and, oh dear they all voted against us, we've had a rather suspicious boxing promoter in charge of us just to try to use the stadium to help his 'negotiations' with the football league, financial crisis' galore, employed a coach who was also an agent and just employed all his crap players, we've been relegated when not finishing bottom, we've been saved from relegation by league re-organisations, and the list goes on....
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

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!

Do you mean Championship and Championship 1

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

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.
YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST BUT NOT RELIVE IT.YOU CAN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT CAN NEVER BE SURE THERE WILL BE ONE.
