Whilst we all know that this is a joke and just a way of the RFL looking like they are in charge, Halifax and the other clubs must apply, as if they think they have a chance. If they do not apply then the RFL come out of this looking better than they should, they can say without it being a lie “Bradford’s bid was the best bid we received” If the other clubs apply for a licence, and Bradford get the nod, how can they not look like the set of cheating, manipulating good for nothings that we know they are.

That nice mr wood is like a politician though starbug he says one thing and does the totally opposite But to be honest i hope your right starbug i hope one of us 3 do get in and to be honest i dont care which 1 of us it is because if 1 of us gets in it will change the whole no entry situation hopefully.But if 1 of us replace bradford im sure it will only be for 2 years as im sure bradford will be fast tracked to get back in at 1 of us 3s expense.

Can't argue with any of that.

I just wish that the RFL would be honest about it and state categorically that SL is closed to new applicants. At that point the Championship clubs may at last get together and plan for the future.

All this "Destination Superleague" etc. from all our clubs is embarrassing as it simply will not happen.

The Bradford debacle has now proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is impossible to be ejected from SL and, ergo, for a place to become vacant.

The reason I no longer post on the Leythers board , I dont ' Beleighve '

I do not acknowledge 'persona non grata'

The RFL didn't need to do owt.

The clubs have ALWAYS looked after themselves.
