Correct, that's not to say I wouldn't have gone to Barrow next season. I'd rather go to a place I've been before that's twenty minutes away than one that's two and a half hours away.

And we always beat Dewsbury

I wouldn't say that. They were champions when we got promoted through the playoffs.

Clubs in these counties have been going bust before Crusaders were even thought of. With views like this the Eagles would never have existed. The one thing that puts me off rugby league is the insular nature of some of its supporters.

In RU several traditional strong clubs have gone to the wall or have plummeted down the leagues thanks to the league structure and professionalism - no sympathy or help from the RFU for them.

Wakefield for instance.

The truth is yes, the Cheating Crusaders have had every support from the RFL and still failed. Surley this would tell the RFL something about expansion? i.e. It doesnt work? Or is that too simple.

Your right, to deduct the Welshies 4 points and deduct Barrow 29 points does seem a bit extreme, Barrow nust have done something REALLY bad. Lets wait and see when that info become public.

Congratulations to Halifax - 2009 champions in my eyes.

Interestingly Doncaster are the only Yorkshire team in Championship 1.

Good point, will Barrow now be stripped of the 2009 title seeing as it was won in voilation of the rules?

Thought they said this wouldn't be happening?

Fair enough. Very strange though, if you win an olympic medal and you are then found guilty of cheating, they take it off you.

It's the rugby league though they make rules up as they go along.
