Getting to the point where we must have mostly finalised our squads. Is it worth starting a thread?

Surely every club that wasn't put into in SL at its inception were denied access? So probably where they are now.
No you qualified on league position plus I think the 2 failed experiments in Gateshead and Paris

I just don't understand how people can keep looking at that as the reason they are where they are today.
If cougarmania was that big then you would have thought it could have helped them get into SL later on and stay there. HKR won the 3rd division that year and are now a comfortable SL club, likewise Hull being in the 2nd division also.
If hull or kr had been denied access to super league Would they be where they are now

You're right. No club in Super League in that period got into financial difficulties.
We will never know. All we do know is that it went from cougarmania to nothing overnight once they were denied access to super greed

They seem keener to indulge in bitterness from 30 years ago then notice that 15 years ago it was the RFL who saved them and their ground.
Probably wouldn’t have been in that position 15 years ago had it not been for what happened 30 years ago

But they aren't newly formed clubs.
Huddersfield Giants finished bottom for a number of years - a dispensation if you like.
That worked out well.
Yep these clubs are struggling now because of rfl or sky rules. Who knows where keighley would be now with 3 years protection. They had to give way to failed expansion experiments like Paris and Gateshead

In what sense are Catalans Dragons a sleeping a sleeping giant?
Formed recently and massively successful.
They were given a 3 year dispensation from relegation as a new club.
I wonder where York donny fev etc would be with 3 years dispensation. Don’t forget they didn’t have to be promoted in the first place

Says a lot for the game when one of the top sl clubs has no ground and can’t afford the rent on the ground it uses and then ask for central funding early just to stay afloat

What part are you bitter about?
Keighley not getting into SL, or Bradford deciding to copy another clubs marketing?
Both
3 minutes ago, dboy said:So what is the relevance to sleeping giants of the game?
I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
Page 1. Somebody talking about expansion and how well Catalan have done

How do you conclude that anyone has forgotten that and what is the relevance?
The relevance is anyone can be successful if they are protected and have a backer

You're right, I guess I have missed the point of Cougarmania - Was that back in what, 1995/6? So I was approx... 3.
I think it is time you move on from it to be honest, we're almost at 30 years since now.
I’m still bitter about it and they’re not even my club

Everyone seems to forget that Catalans are only there because they were protected in their infancy. With protection and a backer Donny York or anyone could make a fist of it
-
So if they need the central funding now to pay their bills how on earth will they see the season out. Why does sport not work like any other business. Fair enough if you have assets to borrow against

If true and Salford have spent the rent money will Wakefield sue like some football clubs are threatening to sue Everton

At last a club to play that isn’t a feeder club
