behave yourself fool, why do we support a certain club? why do we put our club before anything else? because we are first and foremost fans of that partiular club and are obviously biased towards that club. it's part and parcel of being a fan....answer this would any saints fan be happy if wigan prospered at their expense? how woul an HKR fan feel if fc were given preferential treatment to rovers? then why should fans of championship clubs suh as widnes or halifax be any different?

or threaten legal action ala rabbitohs!!!!

concentrate on your own controversy riddled league and we will concentrate on ours!!!!!!!!!!

because until now widnes or halfiax dont deserve to be in SL

had they been allowed in SL last time, then yes the RFL would be a laughing stock

well you should concentrate on the championship then and not SL, cause thats where your club are

i always concentrate on my club whether they are in SL or the championship, but there agian you aussies wouldn't know about loyalty would you?

Only $5 million? And this is in a country where RL is king? Not really that impresive is it?

do you really know what you are talking about? because whatever you spout sounds remarkably like flatulence.

do you mean instead of salford & celtic crusaders?

I agree. It's massive now.

DM,

You make some good points but if your mates at Red Hall are doing such a good job could you answer the following :-

Why cant we sell out an international match against Australia, whilst pre Super League in 94 130k people watched a 3 match test series?

Why did not one major RFL event sell out in 2009?

What are the ticket sales versus this time last year for the big events?

Start with them 3 and I will be back with more!!

even for you, thats a dumb response

well done to the rfl for looking to hire good people from places where RL is going gangbusters.

the club game in england is the strongest it has ever been going back to 1895. thats because of lewis

1. why didnt all your finals sell out - leeds / saints is boring now. the CC final featured 2 new teams in terms of success. since when has millenium magic sold out

2. international rl was neglected during the SL war. in trying to build it up again poor gb performances have hurt crowds

going from the club game being a joke to having a very solid SL is growth.

if you look at crowds, TV ratings, number of competitive teams, financial positions of clubs, they have all improved massively during the SL years

and the process is nowhere near complete

laughing stock my a77e

No it isn't. It's because of BskyB.

I'll tell you what - we had a sunny day today here in the UK. Lewis can have that one.

Not realy is it? They guy is marketing the biggest sport in Australia - and he only manages $5m?

Yet another contridiction by our very own AFL troll. Must try harder Dailly old boy.

its funny the only people talking down the RFLs efforts are fans of clubs that arent in SL.

it must kill these guys seeing SL doing so well without the likes of widnes or halifax

sure widnes would make a nice addition to SL but then again they arent needed in SL. without them SL crowds will still grow and leave these other clubs further behind

for the dummy fax fan, sky werent interested in a french SL team.

it was the RFL pushing for it

that they tried again in france after PSG didnt work out is because of richard lewis

if lewis hadnt given them 3 year immunity from relegation they wouldve been relegated in year one. which means the growth in their crowds, CC final appearance and semi final appearance wouldnt have happened. also the growth of the game in france wouldve stopped and gone backwards

all because of lewis

Not quite as funny as you claiming to be a rugby league fan. AFL troll.

Not according to a number of current SL chairman, they want us in and have made there feelings known.

How can you breathe with your head so far up his ass? You're obsessed you freak



There's no doubt that Lewis has done a good job, all in all but your sickly fawning makes me wonder if you've fallen head over heels out of the closet.

What ever next, about time the tennis plonker did one

What are you talking about numbnuts? I was replying to this dumb quote by you:
=#0040FFthe club game in england is the strongest it has ever been going back to 1895. thats because of lewis

What the fsck has that got to do with a French SL team? BskyB is responsible for the stability of RL and forgive me but Dickie Lewis didn't instigate that original deal. You're beginning to make me think that you know feck all about the game.

Do you honestly think he cares at all for what he has done? He claims to be a fan of the game but only seems to post on threads where he can wind people up - havent seen him post on the thread re the excellent thing Widnes are doing for charity with the different kit, or the thread where North Devon have a ground share
or the four nations blood tests.

As we all know he is a AFL loving troll who isnt bright enough to not contridict himself in his posts.
