Is this one of those games where we have to rearrange a seemingly random collection of words into something comprehensible? I feel this is a Lee Mack "1% question".

I think the conclusion is that even you don't know what you think.

You mean no-one can say you're wrong or even disagree with you, if you don't give your opinion. Why are you so embarrassed about your own opinions??

Questions requiring an honest answer aren't "loaded"!! Just tell us what you think. You absolutely do not have to share the same views as me.

I have no idea what your thoughts or opinions are now. You change your mind and fail to make a point more than Trump. For clarity: 1. Do you think SRD have acted without integrity over the previous years, in running a highly-competitive squad they couldn't afford? 2. Do you think that the RFL/SL clubs should act to keep SRD going this year in order to protect the integrity of the competition? Simple questions that will make your position absolutely clear and save me from remaining confused. Thanks.

Make your mind up! You said it was the point you were making yourself, yet now I'm putting words in your mouth. SRD have acted without integrity for years and you now want to say that the rest of the game should save them, to maintain the integrity of the competition!

No, now we've established that you know and accept SRD is a sham club, it's all good thanks.

Where has the integrity of the competition been in having a club field a squad full of top-line players that they can't afford and who subsequently challenge for honours?

On the disallowed Lino try... I'm sat 50m away...if the ref who is 2m away says no try, I'll happily believe him. (OK, maybe not happily). If a ref 2m away from it sends it up as a try, I'm going to be pretty...nonplussed...shall we say, if it's sent up as a try but then denied after 300 views and enough time to cook a chicken. It needs sorting!

I think one issue is that SRD wouldn't accept the help if it came with the condition of relegation in 2026, which it surely did. The other issue seems to be (and the other 11 have dodged a bullet here), is that even now we aren't aware of just how huge the black hole is. The other 11 have a responsibility to run their own operations to their fullest - not meaning to pick on Cas, but as an example we can certainly say they don't have the funds to run their own club at the required level - how can we then say they should also fund a rival club?

How do you know this option wasn't offered and refused by SRD, in the hope they could remain a SL club in 2026?? They refused the RFL/Carter help and they refused offers to take players with fees to provide income and reduce the wage bill. Another point - if we accept the "RL family" argument to help sustain them into 2026, how can we justify maintaining the dying "Brother Salford" to the future detriment of the growing siblings Bulls, York, Fev, TO etc...?

You seem to be struggling to have a definitive position.

Now I'm confused. Do you think clubs should have done more, as what you deem the RL family, or not? If not, what is the context for the Lead Zeppelin remark?

Really...

I'm baffled by the notion that you feel it's the responsibility of other clubs to rescue a club who took the ###### financially for many years, continued to take the ######, took the ###### after measures were were put in place to help them, and are still taking the ###### today.

He's just the Salford Gledhill.

Neither Leeds nor HKR need any more fans. Wakefield Trinity are a Phoenix club on the rise and would be just about the quickest and easiest ground for you to get to from the NE. Pick US!! (I'm certain you'll enjoy all the games you are planning to attend).

I like the spiel on the LionCap webpage that states: "Our global reach, combined with a personalized approach, allows us to deliver innovative solutions tailored to complex financial needs." Unfortunately they can't handle sending more than £49k from one place to another. They are nothing but an investment management company. They invest other people's money - they may not even have investors in place, which may explain the delays in securing the land/club deal. They have "bought" SRD with an IOU at this point in time.

Please name the Cas players who would displace Wakey players in these match-day squads. Not a single Cas player is better than his Wakey opponent. On top of that the whole Cas coaching team is several steps behind the Wakey coaching team. All that said, it's sport, it's unpredictable and it's a passionate Derby - I predict a fairly close 12 point win for Wakey.

Trinity's Magic shirt is revealed at 6pm today.

There's a "mucky" username on the Cas Tigers forum who says they could be in administration around the end of July, if Jepson can't find a money-man backer. I take it that's not you?

Is winning both not an option

Perhaps, but if you count Wigan spectators who stay til the end, your attendance is worse than Wakey's.

Indeed. However, he proposed that Ellis was gaming the IMG criteria by reducing the capacity. It's a fact that under Ellis the capacity has been increased, and continues to be increased further.
