Rochdale? They've done pretty well this season with their Wolves in the team but look at last Sunday. They had no Wolves and struggled to beat 12 man Cougars - complete with our extremely porous defence. This illustrates the unfair advantages brought about by the DR system, and don't forget that for every Wolf who plays for Rochdale, a real Hornet has to make way and sit out. This system was brought in specifically to be of benefit to Super League clubs who don't fancy paying for reserve teams; any perceived benefit to clubs outside Super League is merely an afterthought. This must end.

As far as we are concerned, the question is asked as to how low we can go. Well, a quick look at the current league table shows that our 'best team in years' (on paper obviously) has achieved a position whereby the only clubs below us in the entire rugby league structure are the 'expansion' teams. A very sorry state of affairs indeed. The end is nigh for Paul March and this is the silver lining in our current situation; I for one am heartily sick of watching the one-up rugby and inept defence to which we have been treated for the past three years. Time for a new broom to sweep clean.
