The only proof I've got is in my head, faxcar. I have a brilliant memory. I even remember the score: 50-18 to Fax which flattered us because we didn't shake them off until the last 20 minutes. It was the 7th July 2013 and it was a scorching hot day. After the match I watched Andy Murray win at Wimbledon on TV in the Pump Room.

Alas, I think we should agree to disagree on the admission fee subject because we're just going round in circles.

Let's digress. I'm assuming SKY have lost an awful lot of money this season on the soccer and rugby (both league and union) with cancelled / paused customer subscriptions and lost advertising revenue, even accounting for claw backs.

SKY needs soccer, but doesn't need Rugby League. In view of the above, do you think the next TV deal will be significantly reduced with the RL having no choice but to accept anything offered, no matter how poor? We should never have sold our souls to SKY. We're now stuck with unsustainable vastly inflated player salaries (which have indirectly filtered down to the championship - see previous discussion).

PS - In "real life" I'm not a miserable doom monger as some as my posts might portray. In fact I'm a jolly nice chap who always has a smile on his face

I can't agree with that. 1) So low skill...Lot's of SL players start off in the Championship and below, that's where they learn their skills. There are some great, skilful players in our league. 2) Unimaginative...That could be the very description of SL. 5 barges and a kick is the name of the game and the better players have, for the most time, had their skills stifled and coached out of them. I obviously want to see Fax back in the top tier, but if it's entertaining rugby you want to be watching then SL is not the place to be. Up The Fax!

Wish all super league and championship games were half as good as last night's Cas v Wire game...although accepting it was a rare exception.

Another quote from Connor Robinson on the twitter feed

"...[iit's going to be a new-look squad and I suppose so many new faces can be daunting[/i..."

Interesting if true. Makes you wonder whether they are having to wait for the Super League to finish before announcing some of the signings.

Not sure about any other SL incomings to the Fax squad but I would guess the reason Paul Brealey, (who was originally said to be leaving) is now not in the outgoing names will be down to what happens with Toronto.
