IIRC Durham's council-owned rink was earmarked for demolition and they were haemorrhaging money in a big way in any case.

This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC

Re: Sam Burgess : Wed Dec 03, 2014 9:25 am  
Another part of the problem with the Leeds club is that the component parts that came together to make it weren't particularly "big" clubs pre-professionalism, in terms of profile or support.

Neither Headingley nor Roundhay were a Leicester, a Bath or even a Gosforth. They were two small clubs brought together to make a slightly bigger small club.

True. In the same way, a Cas-Wakey merger would never produce the "super club" some have envisaged.

But at least it would only produce the need for one ground & subsequently only one team to lose money or to need baling out by its owners.

Last year, Cas made as many finals and won as many playoff games as Leeds did.

TBF they had more or less the same kind of season we did in 2005.

A season some would have you believe truly was our teams attacking zenith.

Now they really need to build on it.

I think if he does return to SL it won't be until he's 32/33 just so he can have a crack at winning a GF and CC over here.

You mean Pearson will wave a blank cheque to convince Sam that (once again) this IS the season that Hull FC lift the SL trophy :lol:
