Salford financial issues(again…)
Wellsy4HullFC replied to LeytherRob's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Would be interesting to see. Not quite the same, but Gateshead never set up a phoenix club when they moved to Newcastle. -
Just throwing this one out there as a possible solution... Given we know have a captain's challenge, could we not just make the scoring of a try the referee's decision, and if a team takes issue with it they can challenge the decision? If they've run out of challenges, that's their own fault. Stops the need to forensically look at every try then.

We looked very tired at the back end of that half. The last 2 tries were made on the back of missed tackles that we made earlier in the game. Need to sort that out otherwise we'll get steamrolled at the back end of the game. I think we've been very unfortunate (or Wigan fortunate) in some situations, but you create your own luck. Wigan definitely good for the lead, but not by 10 points.

Bit sad that a young English player out of form is being criticised to the point of directed to play rugby union. Rugby league fans are their worst.

The issue with these mergers is that they need a sense of identity, otherwise fans will not gravitate to them and they will very quickly die as an idea. They'd need to apply to join, and their application will surely need to come with evidence of fan support. Would a "West Yorkshire Giants" playing out of Halifax gain support? Or "North Manchester Hornets" playing out of Oldham? They're better prospects on paper geographically through association with bigger areas, but not necessarily in reality. I do think Oldham should tie-in with a casino though and go with Manchester Hold'ems

NRL expansion (Merged Threads)
Wellsy4HullFC replied to John bird's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Really hope NZ2 is next. That would be huge for the international game. If it's not, I'm not sure when it will come. Can't see expansion beyond 20 for a very very long time unless there's another sudden influx of cash and players from this current expansion effort. Be interesting to see who would be considered next. Brisbane 3? Adelaide? Cairns? Darwin? Central Coast? Sunshine Coast? Out of interest, how have the traditional North Sydney fans responded to this? Happy they're back as a brand or annoyed they've been relocated? -

Think your maths is a bit off... -
Salford financial issues(again…)
Wellsy4HullFC replied to LeytherRob's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Basically, they're trying to drag it along as long as possible, but we're at the point where the RFL are going to have to actually pay their own money. Now it's just a case of trying to make it as cheap as possible to not damage the game too much. If the players are going to leave, which is likely, then the cheapest option is for the rest of the league to loan players to the club to keep it going. I'm sure the teams fighting it out at the bottom may not be as willing to oblige, but the rest I'm sure won't have an issue. -

Right, I'm trying to catch up with the latest as it appears something has happened (there's lots of people posting). I can't quite tell between the posts moaning about professionalism, other clubs, their own club, etc. What new has happened? Has the prospective takeover that everyone thought wasn't going to happen officially not happened? -
Origin Vs Mid Season Internationals
Wellsy4HullFC replied to Wellsy4HullFC's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
A 19 Round NRL when it goes to 20 teams with 3 international weekends following weekend after each Origin match could be a goer. If you've got 8 southern rep teams playing in huge matches (NSW, QLD, NZ, PNG, CI, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa), that could make the NRL more money.
