Never any doubt that I will watch Wakefield at whatever level they end up. Don't think anybody will be "happy" if we lose Super League status but there's no point crying our eyes out. Wakefield achieved Super League status fair and square but look likely to lose it by underhand means. At least we can say goodbye with some integrity and moral high ground.
With Murdoch's empire crumbling around him maybe now is a good time to get out of Super League. In addition, with Fat Nige and crew in charge of Super League maybe it's only a matter of time before the current model goes belly up.
Here's to watching Trinity in 2012, wherever it might be.

But the Championship is a great competition and deserves far more credence than it currently gets. Did you see today's NR Final? Classic rugby League. Was it more entertaining than the weekend's televised SL games or not?

this is true, but the essence of sport must surely be the desire to play and compete at the highest level. the way the championship is structured financially means that clubs cannot realistically compete with full time squads or hang onto juniors that look like making the grade (or even becoming sl squad players).

i’ve always been staunchly anti franchising, anti murdoch, and pro organic expansion. the current model delivers nails for championship sides’ coffins as they wither towards a slow and painful illness and potential death.

i'll watch wakefield as much next year as i have this. this won't be the majority stance, much as we may kid ourselves, those posting on here are the exception and not the rule.

i think cas will be safe. good luck to them i say. they've fought their public relations battle very well.

although the performance hasn't always been there apart from the last couple of weeks, there has a been a strange feel good factor that hasn't been here for a while

I've stayed supporting through thick and thin for about 50 years. In that time I've seen really great highs and some pretty miserable lows, but to me, if you're a real fan, you stick with your club whatever happens because it's the club you support - not just this season's players, coach, owner, performance.

So as you can guess I'll be there next season whatever happens!!!!

I have been a rugby league fan all my life but only a wakey fan for five of them, i am going nowhere we all know what the RFL is like so let them get on with it. Sky sports will be finished with me too because i think they are part of it.
