Quite possibley yes. You see the world is full if different opinions, often based on how privilaged they are. I would like to think that I would always look out for the lesser man but I could not guarentee it. To suggest I would is naive.

Please don't patronise me,i haven't patronised you,please extend me the same courtesy.

The RFL don't make the rules. The clubs make them. The RFL management may - or may not - make recommendations.

Yes the SL clubs make them up plus a few short sited Championship clubs chairman.

If you are an RFL member club and denied your place in it even when finishing the Champions of the league below then morally it is wrong.

What makes it morally wrong?

And how come your morals change (you know, through refusing to watch SL) if your club manages to get into SL?

I don't mind people's opinions or stances, but if they're going to be so vociferous about them without being able to back them up with logic and facts then it's nothing more than negative moaning stubborn whingy attention seekers sticking their tongues out with their fingers in their ears singing lalalala because they haven't got what they want. Basically, something bratty little children do, not mature and rational adults.

If you can't back it up, don't shout about it.

:rolleyes: and here we go again. This is what it all comes back to.

Because I support the game I love, follow the club I love (a lot less than I would like to) and defend it against naysayers (who are usually people who claim they love RL) then we get sneered at as though we are in the wrong.

If you don;t want to go and watch the game, don't - but don't shout from the rooftops about morals which you have admitted you would abandon in seconds if your team were admitted to Super league. Some morals those!

Defend it against naysayers when you watch a SL club but can't answer why more so called lovers of the game don't put the time into watch London.

Yes I know what morals you have :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your answers have been based on your assumption that fans of SL clubs have a "holier than thou" attitude and not based on the answers you have been given.

Jeez - read through your posts and delete some for heaven's sake.

You're beginning to look foolish.

Exactly. It's hard to agree with the opinion of someone who is complaining so loudly about something despite later admitting they'd abandon all of these opinions if their club was in the league they "refuse" to watch.
