If it weren't too be held at Barnsley, I hope they show a little ambition and go Sheffield rather than somewhere like Leeds or Huddersfield. Just somewhere different that fans can make an event of.

Yeah yeah yeah, but who got the most IMG points?

Top 7 I'd be okay with. Same as now but include 2nd vs 7th in the first week. Anything else, including an extra week, would ruin it.

Still can't quite fathom that Wakefield have won the league after being relegated 3 years ago. Wow!

People slightly leaning towards Wakefield according to the poll.

Would be good if they could come back. Would be good rivalry!

Does this club share any of the original fans from the Coventry Bears? Or are they both considered different clubs now?

Gone all out there on the Black Sabbath theme, haven't they? 3 teams: The Metalheads, Bats and Warpigs.

Brummicanes?

It's just the blue that bothers me. The design is fine. But they can't bang on about how they've done all this research and navy is the right colour moving forward, dropping the traditional red for it, then 4 years later drop it for a different shade of blue!

32 point headstart on the handicap. I think everyone is resigned to it being a foregone conclusion. Oldham were probably the closest chance and they just got 70+ put on them!

That could make sense. Perhaps the don't want to do incremental and more expensive steps up in size and would prefer to do one major overhaul into the full size when things are more guaranteed about their position in SL. Last thing that can afford to do is spend the money on the pitch, governance change brings about reduced numbers in the league, get relegated and have to tear the pitch up again because they need extra revenue from the racing.

They're trying to rebuild a brand. They're going to struggle to do that with an inexperienced squad playing poor rugby and that's it because they've saved up the rest to spend on a pitch in a few years time if they have enough. If the fans aren't coming in and being entertained, the pitch won't be an issue because there won't be anything to play on. Not everyone comes just for the purity of watching rugby.

I think once they got in, it would always switch to on field performance as the next focus. They're not going to bring in their historic large audiences by being bottom of the pile every year.

What a rant! "We need to play in bigger cities." Followed by... "Why won't they relegate Bradford?" "They'd have got rid of Toulouse for London." These are 2 big cities. If we want big cities, we keep these 2! They won't get rid of Bradford because they just promoted 3 teams (3 city teams!) with a plan to grow them, and also because they're going to Vegas next year (Super League's global showcase match).
