Only just beat Swinton and conceded quite a few points as well,we have absolutely nothing to fear,bring it on.

Theyve score bang on full time to make it look better than it was.

Andy we have everything to fear.

All teams will be up for it at this time of year. There will not be one easy game from now on.

I guess so, all I'm getting at is that we are equally capable of going all the way, I'm just trying to raise spirits mate.

And glad to see you are doing it twice.

Its such a shame that once again the season is at a stand still.

This season has been badly organised by the RFL.

No consistency regards distribution of home/away games and too many "rest" weeks.

I could just imagine us going through blood sweat and tears to gain promotion to find that the RFL combine both divisions anyway (again).

It wouldn't surprise me. IMO they should get rid of Mickey Mouse, sorry Northern Rail cup and expand Championship and Championship 1 to 15 teams.

Maybe bring a couple more French sides in, teams like Bramley and Carlisle back and a few expansion teams from non Rugby League areas like Loughborough Uni.

I'd even say bring a few Super League reserve teams in along the lines of what they do in Spanish Football but we've already got one, they're called York.

If the players need further motivation they just need to remember that before the play offs were finalised James Ratcliffe at York said he wanted the Cougars in the play offs. Subsequently he rang Barry to apologise and said he was misquoted, of course he was he probably realised it gives us further motivation.

Like Andrew I am very confident of beating York and lets face it we are 2nd in table on merit treat York with no respect on the pitch and make them pay. Bring it on.

Well, I fancy a weekend in Tolouse next year, perhaps one in Ibiza as well? Perhaps we could have an 'expansion' team in Portinatx, which is a nice little spot...

Hey, I've just noticed I'm not Stevo's a**ehole any more - I've been promoted to Eddie Hemmings' Wig! This calls for a beer...

Why are York a feeder/reserve team? Is it 'cos we've got 1 player on loan from them?

Johnismental I have long held the belief that being a feeder club under any guise for example having partnerships with other clubs immediately weakens the identity of the club involved.

Lets take York who amongst other clubs have a partnership deal with the Rhinos, the premise behind this is basically to allow the super league clubs chance to keep fringe players fit by loaning etc, I think this will increase sadly as time goes on.

Dont forget this also helps the super league clubs with the salary cap.

When partnership clubs are loaned players it is not for the benefit of anyone except the super league club. All this does is reduce the chance of local players getting a chance.

Anyone who really believes these partnerships are anything less than another version of the start of feeder clubs are missing the trick.

We've go a 19 year old kid on loan from Leeds. If that makes us a feeder club then virtually the whole of the lower leagues and quite a few in SL are feeder clubs. Hunslet had 1 of our players on loan, so does that make them York's feeder club? Incidentally, would Keighley turn down the offer of an up and coming young lad of the calibre of Peter Fox, Jason Golden etc? Would you boll0cks.

Now, now children lets play nice.

Come on John Ismental, if you throw a hissy fit on someone elses message board you can expect a gentle leg pull.



PS we have replaced all the table cloths with washable ones just in case any of your lot want a meal

we don't needto pal, we have Enough quality in our reserves to call upon and have already done so this season and look what good that did us, oh yeh that's right, 2nd spot!

That now infamous incident didn't by any chance happen during a function at York's parent club?

Quality yet again Jeff
