<t>on the subject of playing one team four times and subsequent relegation, look who wakey have got four times...huddersfield.<br/> <br/> saints four times, hull fc four times or huddersfield four times...hard decision who we'd prefer to play.<br/> <br/> this cardiff event stinks- vote with your fee...

<t>u must have balls of steel or be hard as nails as i wouldnt dare wear that in loughborough- i know i would get my head kicked in.<br/> <br/> amusing but borders on being purely insulting- though most southerners are t*ssers and insult me when i talk about league so fair play to you...<br/> <br/> ...
