how about the point about the fact that with the absence of relegation the interest in lower table activity of super league is greatly compromised skinhead?

Is it?

What about when Halifax got relegated with about 10 weeks to go? How interesting was the bottom of the table then?

Or when Widnes AND Leigh were down with about 5 weeks to go?

Relegation does not guarantee interest at the bottom of the table for the full season. Conversely, it doesn't guarantee that their won't be any interest at the bottom all season, as they could still get into the play-offs.

So yeah, again flawed argument.

And what part of the argument as been flawed?

Let me ask you a simple question for such a educated guy.

If Quinns....crowds keep falling....thier performance fall...they stop selling merchendise...etc etc...do you really think RFL will relagate them?

The RFL wouldn't need to. They'd probably go bust.

The fact is, they meet the criteria in a lot of areas and are deserving of their franchise.

Do you think RFL will relagate them...I think NOT...

Rules are made to be broken...just ask the RFL

Yeah thats a real stable enviroment isnt it?

If a club does all of that they will get a license. It was said by Nigel Wood that the best performing NL club will get a license.

Congratulations for bringing out 3 examples from the history of super league which argue otherwise. clearly my argument is outgunned by such strong counter evidence. The wakefield/castleford battle, thinking about it, was a complete waste of interest.

For God's sake STOP throwing this back into these arguments. I don't want to read it. It was 6 years ago. SIX ! Let it go.


bluesox4evaaa - shut the f**k up ! You're forcing people to drag up the horrid past of Halifax RLFC. You're also embarrassing yourself. Enough already. Enough.
