Looking ahead to next season. It looks like its going to be difficult for us remaining part time. London, Bradford, Leigh have already announced goin to be full time (not sure about Fev).
Obviously these full time teams will be able to attract best players dropping down from super league and best players in championship.
Not to mention the fitness, recovery time, and extra training.


I am worried the gap will widen even further and we will be lagging behind the full time teams.
I know we will be competitive but will crowds improve if we are just making up the numbers.
Hope I am proved wrong but promotion looks to be along term dream at the moment unless things change.



Your thoughts

No disrespect, but I can't even think about next season.
Still a long way to go THIS season.
A famous saying?
"worrying about tomorrow spoils today"

Wise words

For once

It's the recovery time that's a huge benefit.

Also it depends on the squad of each particular club. Crap full time players are exactly that - crap. Full time players who are just passing time and cashing a pay cheque are also a burden. I think Leigh will be up here. I think London too (their millionaire backer hasn't left yet). The rest? Not sure. Recruitment is just around the corner....

John you are the Wise Owl of the Fax Forum , always there to steady the Ship , and calm down the panicking crew .

Blimey Worzel has turned up, no Town game this week? O'h forgot St Winifreds Girl's Choir 0 Town 5 Aunt Sally the ref?

At least there not playing the big teams anymore for example vauxhall motors and dartford dynamos. And remember all the town fans were going mental at that time because that they were beating these quality teams 2-1 and sometimes 3-1

. (On topic so I'm not barred

) let's worry about this year first and once this years over then next year and so on

Rich , all this thinking is going to give you a Headache , its not good for you .

Would not worry about 2015 just yet - may be we are looking at going Full Time , as for Bulls they are skint whats Marc Green actually done there? , Bronco's Skint , Leigh who have they signed players they've got and a big name whose getting past it? Fev are in turmoil too - so just a case of wait and see - Worrying about tomorrow spoils today.

Charlie makes me think of terrible jokes and Italy.

Putting the two together.

I told my wife our next car would be from Italy and made out of spaghetti, she wouldn't believe me until I drove pasta.

I know!! Thankfully I have your posts to read which bring my thinking requirements down to a level that clears the headache better than four Anadin Extra's.

Glad to be of help .

I'm sorry none of us have taken up the question, to be honest it is a very important question but, I think at the moment every game is a cup game and we are consumed with now.
Try it again at the end of the season when we have won the Grand Final from 2nd place.
Then we ALL will know the answer.
Regards.
