.................and we'll still be at the stage where Chairmen are being photgraphed with a hard hat stood next to a digger, saying "We're about to move the earth".
Balls to that. |

Leeds Rhinos to drop out and the whole team shall relocate to the NRL. The last three grand finals have proven this league isn’t motivating Leeds Rhinos stars anymore.
They only get up for big games whilst been complacent against the lower sides.

Yeah, we've done that before - about 40 times now, I think. They said last time, 'We're building a new stadium' yet, no new stadium. 'We're building a new stadium'. Where is it?

Problem is, as soon as they step foot in Oz the English lot are hit with the big gash stick. |

Saints will not play at their new stadium till 2013 |

 Couldn't agree more but after Nigel Wood put his big size 11 in his mouth on Bootsandall very early in the season they cannot back track now or they would look foolish- mind you they are idiots anyway.  |

But this isn't going to be the case, not by a long shot. Let's say Widnes, Barrow or Halifax come up, can any of the clubs being mooted say for certain that they are stronger than any of these clubs? Of course they can't in the same way that Widnes couldn't prove that they were stronger than Salford or the Crusaders last time. It is an objective decision and wouldn't last a second in court.
This is also not what licensing has been from day one. They pick the 14 clubs they want in, nothing to do with who is strongest.
Trust me I argued enough about it last time but the process works like this. They give clubs a grade A-C, A's and B's are guaranteed entry C's are not. Approximately 2/3rds of the clubs were given a C grade meaning that they could pick 6 clubs out of the final 11 without having to justify them in the slightest as they technically had the same grade. The same will apply this time around. |

If those 5 criteria for Championship clubs are correct then Barrow won't be eligible. Their ground has a capacity of ~8k and they have not averaged 2,500 last season or this one.
