Just like Russia and Qatar with the World Cup, money is more important....

What happens when you run out of it like Crusaders did?

Not so important for them

don't even want us to go up, super league and rl in general is not the same since this damn franchise came in place, its worse. Until they get p and r back they can stick it for me.
Widnes did deserve it for the off-field success but its virtually saying they didn't have to bother in the league they did naff all in three years in the league!!!!
even if we did get in in july gives you bugger all time to perpare its a bag of spanners.
I watch rugby league for the drama of it all winning and losing not for some ting franchise programme watching people in suits decide the fate of clubs that have been rightfully active in the game for over 100 years

I didn't see the annoucement but note both Widnes and Fax met the criteria - did the RFL provide reasons why Widnes were preferred to Halifax?
