Has an outside chance of still playing SL for Castleford. Under the RFLs guidelines, Batley and Whitehaven aren't fit clubs (stadium, turnover, etc. wise) for Super League and therefore not eligible for promotion. So if one of them can somehow win the NL1 GF ahead of Hull KR (more or less impossible), Widnes and Leigh (only teams who realistically can beat Hull KR), then Castleford wouldn't go down. Therefore Timmins wouldn't need new club.Craig said:

Is there not a local stadium where they could play at? Like Gretna had to do in the UEFA Cup (until Derry City spanked them 5-1) and Treviso did when they go sent up to Serie A because their stadiums were/are not up to standard?steds said:
Or is that in the RLF guidelines?

Anyway tonight I'm going for Brisbane to win, more so because I'm not really a fan of the Bulldogs and they are a Queensland team.
I still can't work out how Melbourne are suddenly outsiders for the Premiership even without playing, I knew this would happen with Phil Gould's love affair for the Dragons and is so for the Sydney media, who rave on about Gasnier and Cooper, Head, Barrett, Hornby etc. as the best thing's since sliced bread, well Head can't stay fit for five minutes, Gasnier is unlikely to play and Barrett has an ego the size of Andrew Johns' and yet Melbourne have had to put up with the likes of Slater, Inglis, and Crocker missing for lengthy period of time with injury (Inglis) and suspension (Slater and Crocker) and yet still won.
Typical. Remember in 200 when Anthony Mundine said the Dragons were the real premiers and were going to show Melbourne that, and what happened the Storm ran up 70 points.
I'm surprised to see Simon wanting the Dragons to win, I had always figured he hated the Dragons as much as the Roosters, and having a fair amount of Queenslanders in the team, I might have thought he would want Melbourne to win. I can understand Goffy wanting the Dragons to win, especially with Melbourne running up some massive scores against them and Danny Williams king hitting O'Neal (should have had assult charges placed against him and shows how desperate the ESL is) and Slater kicking Sankdalis in the head.

Dragons $3.40
Broncos $3.50
Bulldogs $3.50

Actually i wouldnt mind seeing Melbourne win, PROVIDING Slater gets cleaned up and misses the GF... I think Dragons will win, but to see them Choke again would be absolutley PRICELESS!!! Especially considering i have so many Dragons fans at work who all of a sudden have forgotten about recent years...Craig said:
