Red John, no quote, if you are saying SL needs a dominant club in order for SL to thrive rather than say a competitive league then ...... then, if find that depressing.
That is, the St PieLoins lose 1k attendance each. The rest gain 500 thinking they might win.
That has to be more healthy surely?

I guess your correct from a competitive team with the others in SL but will that bring in the fans and increase the attendances significantly.
There is a good point here. To be competitive should be good enough for any team. For some teams that is not good enough. Some sort of disproportionate success is required, whatever the diminution to the rest of the competition.
A competitive league isn't deemed good enough.

I wasn't going to comment as it would be a largely miserable moan with no redeeming features. I've no idea why I thought this would be unacceptable.
So, about 25, 30 years ago? Cas beat Wigan in a league match. The report in the Rugby Leaguer? consisted of 4 paragraphs over half a page. Cas didn't get a mention in the report till halfway down the third paragraph.
And here we are today talking about a team who lost the GF in the last moments of the game who are currently 4th in the table.
I'd like to think the game was stronger than this but then again I am mostly grumpy these days.

Yeah, had a bad feeling about this so when Wakey came back into it I was flapping. I can imagine all too easily the efforts of Mr Child to entertain.
-
Thing is I moan about as much about RL as anyone here but if the ref deems some ugly slavver as worthy of reward then what do you do as a coach? Play to higher principles and get sacked or gain some advantage by ugly slavver?
We all laugh at the antics of footballers but if it didn't work then why do it?
Btw I never got the incidents of gamesmanship/cheating as clever play. It works yes but at what cost to the game in general?
Right then, bored of ranting about this, I'll have to find something else to rant about......

In the same way that Cas cant win at Saints. Everything is a bit wappy atm.

Couldn't find that link on the BBC RL homepage
I noticed earlier that RL had gone from the BBC.....'main sports listing'.

We were guessing around 3k. Wasnt that impressed with a clearly superior huddersfield but the late tries made it look better.

Cas reply. Lots of passes, 4 points.16-34. 4300 attendance. Hmmm!

After a period of entertaining play hudds score going big yards on the tackle. 28-10. 10 tg.
-
Brad Graham in at the corner for Cas. No, I've not heard of him either. 10-20.
-
Drop out, hudds score. Someone or other. 6-18. 30 mins ish.
-
Drop out, 6 again, 6 again Cudjoe again. 6-12.
-
A young'un scores for Cas. Turns out to be McShane. McGilvery damaged in the in goal drama. 6-6 15 mins ish.
-
Cudjoe pops over, 6-0. 8 mins.

Was hoping that the Real Ale Shed would be open. Nah!

All this mentioned on World at One. We do exist!

I'm hoping for a Cas win not just because I'm from Cas but because it's a story.
Dog bites man/Man bites dog.
I'm hoping there is something to report. Let's hope so eh?
Failing an underdog win, more of the same.
-
More importantly, how much is a pint of bitter in Kensington? More frightened of this than Saints.

I know, I'm on a substantial amount of Ouzo myself but with the best will in the world I've no idea what you're on about.
If close competitive standards don't provide the best options for a competition then... As I say I missed the point of your last post.
