Yes, if they offer more. This game needs to be more progressive, not just keep clubs in due to sentiment.

Yup! Just watched game with a load of Bradford fans and they were delighted! IT is Super Leagues problem now!

BBC quote "but Wolfpack will replace Broncos in the top tier next season as their greater fitness and experience finally told." Not to mention the multi million pounds pumped into them.

You say that like it’s a bad thing?

I bet some Championship clubs are thinking the same. Those that are display exactly why the Championship will struggle to engage fans.

The height of their ambition is to be a small fish in tiny puddle masquerading as a pond.

Taking the best team out of the Championship only devalues the Championship.

To only want to play lower quality teams is depressing.

Him, they might be back in it for the 2021 season....let's just see what happens eh ?
Other teams like Leigh Centurions (for example) were the best team in the championship, did us getting promoted devalue the competition ? NO, because we are an M62 club !

Featherstone is a very good Championship team. They will probably be in the playoffs next year. However they are unlikely to beat Toulouse again.

Less than half that booking 4 days before flying out - direct from Manchester with 2 night stay. You probably need to search around a bit more...

You do realise that Leeds have been that bad this season,and that you have been on TV that many times, suicide has been contemplated throughout the whole world of the rugby league watching that dross? BTW - You just can't help yourself but to continuously ridicule rugby league clubs outside of SL. This posh, snobbish approach is exactly what is wrong with the game with people like you. Let's just hope we don't have another season from the Whino's like we've just had,otherwise you'll get the game stopped altogether . Anyway, how about giving SL clubs £200,000 each next year and the Championship £1.9 million instead? Talking of quality, if we get the same again from Leeds next season , you should be removed from the game in order for rugby league to flourish in this country. Sky will have learned their lesson now,and we might only see the Whinos maybe once or twice next year,and that would be more than anyone could take.

I can also confirm that when the Leigh v Bradford fixture comes round, I look forward to it hell of a lot more than the Tonto fixture.

Re: Featherstone : Sun Oct 06, 2019 7:20 am  

Toronto brought more fans than Featherstone to Bradford. Unlike the flat cappers they didn’t cause any trouble either. In fact they were brilliant so in that respect it’s a shame.

Still the planning of fixtures and costs involved in away games there were astronomical for championship clubs even with Toronto covering the flights and hotel. Also they basically won every game.

In superleague we already know they are going for it which means one of the establishment elite will be relegated just in time for the reduction in funding to kick in. I’ll enjoy watching that I reckon one of Hull KR and Wakefield are toast.
