It's doing most people's heads in.

Have Cas got the money to build? Well, they have enough money to build something, even if they can't complete the stadium in time, it makes no difference. They have enough to start building, and by starting building, they're already at least a year ahead of us. That's more than enough.

Forget the rules/criteria/any other bollox the RFL have published about how franchises will be awarded. There's no way of judging this on an accurate points scale. It comes down to who they think will deliver. And as things stand, all signs point to Cas. So congratulations.

That's a fair comment, isn't it? No new ground and we cease to exist, at least as a RL club based in Wakefield.

Either that, or more likely, they will reveal plan B and come out fighting.

It is probably better that they take some time to reflect and consider what to do. I'm sure they have planned what to do in the event that it did get called in, but those involved with the club must be gutted. It is too easy to make knee-jerk statements. Get the public message out in the new year, when it will stay in peoples' heads, rather than letting it become mopped up by the end of year feeling. New year. New start.

Can't think what a certain Sir Rodney will be thinking right now.

Hopefully, turning up at the RFL Christmas do with a couple of blonde hookers, some sedatives, a couple of oranges, leather hoods, and a camera. It could be our only hope.

I admire your optimism, I really do, but I don't share it. Nothing to do with that "end of year feeling" - I'm generally in pretty good form this time of year. The arguments just don't stack up at the moment for me. It'll take a cunning plan of incredibly cunning proportions to get us out of this one. Still, nowt else better to do, so what the hell...

This isn't formula 1, you know...

I didn't say I was optimistic, but it ain't over 'til it's over. It's about the only approach we can have.

Quite apart from being totally pi...ed off with the awful situation about Trinity, I despair at reading the infantile spats that completely detract from any sensible discussion. Someone already said that they would be just as disappointed if Cas were to be unsuccessful in their efforts. So would I, I'd be disappointed for any other club. Well said.
On a global basis, what hold Rugby League back is the backbiting and childish sniping that goes on.Not only in forums such as this, but at the highest level in the Australian competition too.
I live in New Zealand. You should hear the NZ media crowing over the new 10-man committee system adopted to run NRL in one body. The Kiwis know full well that finding 10 people within any Rugby League organisation who can even agree that it's day time, or night time, when the sun is shining is going to be very difficult.
Stop friggin sniping. We all believe exactly the same thing- this is the greatest game.
Do we want chaos?
Do we want RL to disappear down the tubes?
Do we want to grow successive Sonny Bills, just to feed them into Rugby Union?
The current answer is probably yes! Because the only man organised enough to see that our gam eis in crisis is...ME !!
And Russell Crowe. He can see it too, but he didn't hear it from me.
