In an open letter to supporters, Glover wrote: “It’s great to see the efforts of all the staff and team paying off and a big well done from me for their work."

“I mentioned on the TV news that we had been informed by Blake Solly, RFL compliance manager, that we won this licence on our own merit, so it’s a shame the gloss was taken off our award by the mention of Crusaders removing their application.”

"It is believed that the club had done enough to prove their suitability to continue in the elite division regardless of the Crusaders’ demise having being informed by the RFL."

I just hope the club relegated is the one that offers least to Superleague and everyone is entitled to their opinion

I was getting thrown by dboy

What's throwing you?

Being in administration is not going bust. Being bust is being bankrupt.

If the administration fails, you go bankrupt and cease trading.

Or, of course, be put into a pre-pack, where the old company and its debts are written off and a new company fills the hole left by the bust company.

He does it to me as well. Also wilzay. I think they are the same person

I take your point but I would imagine that when people with an axe to grind say wakey have 'gone bust' they invariably will mean administration not that they ceased to exist as that's quite a rare event. I genuinely thought you were claiming they hadn't been in admin to be honest.

If people don't understand the words they are using, that's a reflection on them.

You can't dumb down, misrepresent or change the facts, through ignorance of the language.

I admire your resolution to not dumb down on here. That must be quite painful at times.

Shouldn't that be to all three of me.

You off to Wembley King Jimmy?

I work in education. It's a constant battle.

This includes staff, even high level management, as well as the kids.

When you try to ensure the correct use if language, the ignorant call "pedant"!

Don't get me going...

and chissett

Leeds (-34 - 20) - London A, Salford H, Warrington H.

Wakefield (-109 - 20) - Wigan H, Warrington A, London H.

Huddersfield (-175 - 1icon_cool.gif - Hull FC A, St Helens A, Catalan H.

Hull KR (-233 - 1icon_cool.gif - Catalan A, London H, Salford A

London (-251 - 1icon_cool.gif - Leeds H, Hull KR A, Wakefield A.

The big run in starts now.

It’s a crazy end to the season.

All 5 of those clubs could foreseeably win all 3 of their remaining fixtures or lose them all or any combination in between.
For Leeds it’s a bit more simple, beat London on Sunday and they’re safe. If they lose it’s all on.

You are indeed Sherlock Holmes and I claim my £5...

Yes, it definitely wasn't match day when the news was announced as I was at work, and I worked Monday to Friday. I think it was a Wednesday lunchtime.

There was a home game next, and Glover et al came on to the pitch, so it was perhaps then they were in party mood.

can certainly see london beating leeds this weekend leaving giants and hull kr in the bottom two

If you are a giants or rovers supporter you will be probably wishing that not only do Leeds win but win big and damage Londons points difference out of site, especially Hull Kr whose point difference is very close.

I actually think London may be targeting the Hull kr game as that could be the million pound game for both of them, and then hopefully beat a Wakey side with nothing left to play for. I think it will be between Kr and London, I think Huddersfield will find a win and think Leeds will beat London and one other anyway, and as they have the superior points difference over the sides below them.

The powers that be probably knew that Saints were going to win the shield with three quarters of the season remaining so they arranged the Hull KR v London and Wakefield v London to make Super League XX## more exciting than any other.

big win for the giants!



feared the worst when i saw lastnights bench, hewitt, luke kirby and wilson... all academy lads not to mention two more starting in jake wardle and louis senior

Absolutely HUGE win and not too many saw that one coming.
If KR were to win in France and London beat Leeds, both of which could happen, the relegation dogfight will intensify further still,
The thread title is absolutely right and we are in this with a balanced (almost) fixture program, without the "every minute matters" nonsense of the past few seasons.
Just to turn up the heat a little more, I think that London will beat Leeds tomorrow.

Well that's the Rovers portion done.

Just need Leeds to flop against London now to leave 4 joint bottom.

That leaves Wakey v Wigan to decide whether it'll be 4 joint 2nd or 5 joint bottom...

Strong competition all over the table (apart from top spot, which has the biggest margin in history!)

Thursday and Fridays televised games look very tasty in different ways after results so far this round
