All sounds fair enough to me

Mmmmmmm.

But then....



Well Quinns and Crusaders certainly have problems there dont they. I would be shocked and amazed if our application wasnt stronger then both these but then i would be shocked and amazed if they even considered not awarding either of those teams a franchise.

Like Starbug says it all sounds pretty fair especially the independant panel bit. I cant possibly see anyway they cant let us in.

"The impact of the Super League is broadened beyond its traditional heartlands, and the development of the league in strategically significant areas is continued. "


That's it right there, forget it!

It might be a good idea to make this a sticky so that if there are any RFL unanounced arbitary changes that suddenly appear to suit their real agenda then it will be even more obvious than it is now that they do what they like when they like whatever they have said previously.

Okay I admit it I'm bitter, twisted and cynical and should really believe every thing they say.
Sorry RFL you are a credit to the game and we would not want it any other way, thank you so very very very very much.

"New stadiums or redevelopments of existing stadiums have only been taken into account if the RFL Board was satisfied that the stadium will be open or the redevelopment finished by the start of the 2012 season."


OH DEAR CAS AND WAKEY!

Never mind them , Salfords wont be ready

Near the start it says" it`s for promotion and continuous improvment of the standard of rugby league in the UK and the training of young players in each club."
Well if that is the case why are we all spending a fortune on France?

All i can say is, if they stick to what the say about stadiums we should be in, however they need 14 teams so us and one other team out of wakefield, castleford & salford should be in. But somehow i can not see it happening

I like the fact that asking if Halifax will get in is a frequently asked question.

Come on RFL, give the public what they want

What about the player strength thing - obviously we do not have any SL pleyers so we will have to be marked down on it, as stupid as that rule seems.
Also, we have not added to SL in recent years so even the worst club in there has better chances than we have.
It's all bollox as we have all said on numerous occasions.
Hopefully though I may be forced to eat my words when we become part of the family.

How can Nigel Wood be deemed impartial when he is ex-Fax CEO?

The simple answer is he can't.

Since leaving fax he has done "bog all" for us and I expect this trend to continue

Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls and other such clubs should have saved themselves some time and just wrote. we are Bradford Bulls in there application and sent it off.
