Yep, you can just see the RFl changing their mind about the Celtic franchise and letting Halifax take their place next year - presumably there will be some sort of bond lodged by these dumb MP's to pay for the legal repercussions against the RFL when the poop starts flying ?

Perhaps you should never say never with the RFL after what they did to Gateshead after finishing sixth in their debut season in '99 but hopefully those days and actions remain firmly in the past.

Drive past the Shay quite a bit and it does not look like ground is finished to me , Still plenty to do, In 3 years the club will have a much stronger arguement for being accepted IMO

I think it's more to do with them not getting a franchise this time around rather than who you've beaten!!

it probably is but i know we are ont going to get in because of the MP'S but if you watched us against fev tonight you can see why we are at the top of the league.

widnes probably shouldnt be in the same league as halifax they were ready for super league when they were looking at franchises. you will be hard pushed to find any fax fans that thought we were ready for super league at the end of last season, although we will be in 3 years we will have a ground that will rival or better 3 or 4 teams in super league but because of expansion i have a feeling we will be overlooked for another french team and widnes even if we win the league for the next 3 years.

A very entertaining game (better than quite a few from SL this season) with at least a couple of players from either side that wouldn't look out of place in your average SL squad.

As we've seen repeatedly over the years though willing nags don't fair that well in the company of thoroughbreds and that extends up to the International level.

I'd love to see 'Fax back in SL but I think some of their numpty supporters will jeopardise their chances if they don't change their ways. Some of the chanting would make Saints fans blush and the bottle throwing when Whitehaven won there a while back was disgraceful. Credit has to go to some of their fans though who recognised the problem and sought to have it eradicated rather than brush it under the carpet. Good Luck to 'em,I say!
