It just seems that there have been different rules applied to Celtic than the other teams. I feel the league this year has been made a mockery of.

i played yesterday and to be honest celtic just battered us! we were terrible!! i think celtic made 2 errors all game and not many teams lose when you play like that i think 1 to 17 we all played bad! ahh welll got next monday to make up for it.

Three games given as draws. Two of which were our home games against Miners and North London Stags, called off due to weather I believe (obviously not due to not turning up or a win would've been awarded) Third game awarded a draw was against Leigh East who I believe had to play a Cup match that day instead, given that Crusaders played Miners to try and complete the fixtures where they could. Note: did not try and play one of their home games that had been given as a draw they played the away game instead and the resulting loss meant the points were the same as awarded prior to the game being played...... I'm failing to see how we've been given any advantage over any other team, unless you can back up your statement with facts just accept that the better team won on the day.



Note the comments from Kangaroo Poo also, unlucky mate it still doesn't mean you lose your unbeaten through the league tag, from all reports a bad day at the office, all the best for Monday.

According to the teams published in todays and previous League Express' the only players not to have played in the play-off game were nos. 1 & 13.

WIGAN ST JUDES u16s 70 V 27 LEIGH MINERS u16s



MINERS WERE POOR FROM MINUTE ONE TONIGHT AND LET THEMSELVES DOWN WITH THERE PERFORMANCE. THE LADS KNOW THERE EFFORT TONIGHT WASNT ACCEPTABLE AND WILL HAVE TO IMPROVE IN THERE FINAL GROUP GAME AGAINST WIGAN ST CUTHBERTS IF THEY ARE TO MAKE THE SEMI FINALS.

I think you've answered your own question there, we were able to play the Leigh East game, it was called off due to the cup by BARLA, surely it makes sense to play a team we haven't all season i.e. Miners when we couldn't play Leigh East or would you rather we'd not played anyone? Then you'd have accused us of being afraid to play Miners. Can't win really can we, and given that we'd already played (and beaten) Leigh East that's quite an assumption that you would've won the game don't you think? I'd be concerened with the other 7 games you lost not the one game you couldn't play against us. Sounds like sour grapes picking on one game and saying oh we could've beat you and got in the top six without mention of the two games awarded as draws and the 7 lost doesn't it?

I look forward to your response, two things I'd ask though please?



1. At what point have I made reference to you making this another Crusaders have the RFL in their pocket rant? (I've consciously made a point of disregarding your comments re RFL favoured Crusaders re travel yet made no mention of the East Hull game not played against East or the number of other games not played)

2. Apologies for my ignorance but who is Mike Nicholls?



again look forward to your response.

mike nicholas i would imagine

Ahhh right, thank you.

you're welcome!!

Sorry should be West Hull not East

It would appear that the RFL have AGAIN failed to 'think the matter out' and this is why Rugby League will always struggle to expand, how can people expect clubs to attract the best administrators and marketing when the sport as a whole cant?
