Strike ONEaaa!!!

So anyone had any revised thoughts on how middle 8 might pan out, I reckon wakey salford Def other 2 either both hull teams or KR and widnes
With leigh Bradford Sheffield then god knows, if we make it in it will be on a good run but reckon we would maybe finish 6th in that comp, I still think wakey will come down but could be Bradford or Leigh. Salford will be a tough nut for any championship team but already lost to leigh so who knows

Lot of twists and turns..Will Salford have a team left? Will the Wire be there? Wakey with Tony Smiths brother now at the helm!..Not many games left for all.

Will Leigh be there? I'm hearing the rumours that were talked about a few weeks back are about to be realised. If what I'm hearing is correct Leigh won't be in the top 4, nor will 6 of there players be playing rugby for a while.

This has come from a player in SL. (Don't shoot the messenger!)

Actually a few months back. And your source isn't a SL player.If you could back up any of the claims you make,I'd be the first to hold my hands up.

Seeing you don't have those facts (or not willing to post) your post is irrelevant.

Really do hope those rumours don't come to fruition, it is a bit of a double edged thing tho if the allegations turn put to be true the RFL have to be seen to act and be hard to show re rest of the sporting world it deals with it properly. On the other side they are probably the team most capable of proving the 8s system is a good thing taking them out of the running would send gutters into a frenzy of excitement

Well I think we have already seen this season how the RFL deal with it ie: Fev.

This is a good learning stem for you,as come next season when your firing on all cylinders,they'll come hunting you.

Only if we cheat

No,only if you win.

Sorry mate if I really hope there is nothing in it but if there is any foundation in the rumours then no sympathy all the wins count for nothing

Me too, hope its all talk, however if not, I hope any penalties are proportionate, two guys taking banned substances, should it really cost the club itself, the rest of the team and the fans everything they've been striving for?

Pete I am with you on that if it's a couple of guys that have been stupid then deal with them, issue is if it is more entrenched than that then its a different ball game

Obsessed much?


I believe that the 888 System is flawed, regardless of if Leigh, Bradford, Sheffield and London replace Salford, HKR, Wakefield and Widnes. I believe it's flawed because even with 1 million quid more in central funding, on its own it's not enough to turn a championship club into a SL club.
For the record, I still believe that nobody will be promoted this year and that's taking into account how crap Wakefield have been and how dominant Leigh/Bradford are.

Only thing to do is wait and see eh? Not obsessed at all just stating my opinion

and your opinion is that Gutters would be in a frenzy of excitement if nobody goes up? Not sure why you'd even have an opinion on this, but I am convinced you should maybe try to get out more

Ask Fev..

Oh well it doesn't look like the middle 8s are a concern now. So it looks more like the bottom 8 or should we just call them the releg 8s.

This season Broncos are full-time with the £780k they received from the RFL. If the Broncos don't make the top 4 and get to play in the middle 8 with the SL teams then the most they will receive from central funding next season will be £200k for finishing 5th, or the highest position of the bottom 8. Will that be enough to retain a full-time squad? The lowest figure for teams in the top four is £500k.

Who knows, depends how much the owner is prepared to pump into the club. We are probably only full time this year due to his financial input.

All down to the boss. Really hope we stay ft. Shame to break the squad up

It most definitely is all down to him

When was the last time you were part time?

Off the park we've never been anything but amateur.....on the park I think we were last part time in 94....could have been 92.
