That’s funny, it’s not mentioned on the super league website, in terms of past winners of the competition.

It only mentions grand final winners.

Now, I wonder why that is.

Cas are a solid SL club. Kicking them out because of a cack-handed spreadsheet exercise would be crazy in my view.

I love how Castleford are appealing against their own incompetence in submitting the wrong information.

The funny thing about all this is that we went through the exact same song and dance around 14 years ago. I remember Richard Lewis on sky sports proudly hailing the introduction of licensing and the new grading system.

I wonder how long it’ll take to abolish it this time.

You said they had won nothing. I'm merely pointing out they won one of the three available trophies as recently as 2017.

To be honest, I'm firmly in the camp that says the LLS should get more kudos than it does whatever it says on the SL website.

I get the distrust after that. They chucked a massive amount of credibility and good faith in the bin.

I understand why people thought they might fiddle with the system or come up with an exemption for London.

But so far they haven’t and the basis of assessment is transparent and objective.

We’ve done everything else before too.

Wigan & Workingtons badge the same. This IMG $h!te need to be rid of ASAP! Nothing but a bunch of clowns the F**ing lot of em.

Maybe thats a new gimmic, the SLchampions have to start again in League1 and battle back

They’ve been to a grand final which is more than Leigh can say,

Well, that's the deck chairs thoroughly rearranged (again)...
