Couldn't agree more, if they are forcing us to vote a certain way then we need to cut ties immediately. Its not like the dual reg has done us any favours this year.

Its criminal what some clubs do, I think we will vote the same way even if they  weren't blackmailing us (allegedly) whos not going to vote in favour of Scrapping the super 8s but only if terms are met that help all effected,  also I suppose its the aftermath that is the issue. The way the RL looks after the super 8s is gone is still up for debate and is suppose they want to make sure its their vision of it that prevails.

I have been against Dual Registration since it’s introduction and this latest Warrington fiasco only confirms my thoughts.

If Warrington are threatening to withdraw DR, training facilities, etc Hornets should dispense with their services immediately as stated by excolt. 

I would much prefer to see the club go it’s own way with no DR players and have players who want to wear the Hornets shirt with pride turning out for us.

Warringtons contribution via DR has been pitiful this season resulting in none of their players being available on a regular basis!

I have supported Hornets for over 65 years and have never felt so disconnected from the club. Let’s hope we vote the right way tomorrow which is for the good of the game of Rugby League and not to continually bow down to the Super League teams many of whom should hang their heads in shame at their bullying tactics.

Championship/League 1 Chairmen at the press conference yesterday said their group’s clubs would be pressing for an open vote at today’s crucial meeting.  This on the basis that Clubs’ decisions should be transparent to their fans, whatever their preferences. Given that we can be almost certain that at least 11 SL clubs will be voting yes to their own proposals, it’s the remaining league and community votes that will count.  The RFL are planning a closed ballot!   A significant day indeed in rugby league’s history. What follows will be interesting, no doubt turbulent, but hopefully something emerges that brings the game together.

If you look on Brsdford bulls YouTube channel the chairman's of York, batley,  bradford, Dewsbury and Featherstone have made a press conference talking about what's going, it verry interesting talks about the club's right to vote for what it wants and a possible irreversible split.

I read on the batley forum that widens have been threatened with no parachute payment if they vote against the motion.

Err, just go to the thread entitled " The Nine Who Voted With Super League ". Or buy a copy of today's " Rugby League Express ". If you thought that would stay a secret in Rugby League you can't have been watching the game very long.

I first knew the game wasn't always on the level after watching that draw for the Challenge Cup many years ago were they dropped one of the balls on the floor and then tried to pretend nothing had happened.

One ball must have been too hot. They pretended nothing had happened but on TV you could hear the ball hit the floor and roll away. The draw was nearly over with only about 3 balls left so they managed to figure out what the ball should have been.

Eventually after a day or two they had to admit what they'd done and do the draw again. Hornets had a good home draw in the first draw. In the second draw I think we got Warrington away !
