To be fair, a club shouldn't be doing this anyway. It's suicide.

Why do the powers of this great sport continually blow their own feet off!

Completely unbelievable how badly the sport is run, it will be a case study one day "how to badly organise and kill a sport"



Just hope Fax haven't over committed on back of 2012 licence

never saw this coming

I have seen the accounts for last year and there was nothing showing to suggest over committment.

What is the point in having a academy set up and a stadium when rfl are lieing.I really hope sky pull the plug and goes back to the heartlands.I dont care about a french team.Where do the rfl get the money?I glad leeds lost now to the aussies and i dont care about rl wiv them in charge.Bunch of knobbers the RFL.

Why the hell are the RFL so bent and incompetent? Who do Wood and Lewis answer to? We have the RFL involved in Visa Scandals at Crusaders. We have them make a total mess of the Challenge Cup Draw. We have Match Officials who clearly are not being helped or guided by the RFL and Stuart Cummins.We have them badly organize Fixture list that see´s teams go 4 or 5 weeks without a home game!!!Now we have them lieing about Toulouse entry to SL. Have expansion in Wales. Londoe and France. But least have all the teams follow the same rules and knowing what is required of them!

The RFL do not care that a large number of people have lost interest or are losing interest in the game below SL Level. They do not care that people are walking away from the game, due to the RFL´s incompetence and how it has upset many fans. The sooner Wood and Lewis go the better. As said how can Lewis, Wood and co get away with such stupidity, deceitfulness and not have to answer for the decisions they make?

Last Tackle are reporting the news.

That's the problem. It isn't a "large" number in their eyes. The small number of people watching the game below SL level are expendable.

That's just a rehash of what's on here and in the LE. I'm waiting for RFL's awe inspiring statement

When we get refused a franchise by the RFL we should just resign from the competition en masse and create a new sport, say Rugby with proper scrums or 7 point tries and one point conversions, pick a load of the choicer amateur teams to come with us and let SL have what they want, just SL, then we ban all our players for making the switch to RL on pain of sine die suspensions which effectively dries up a SL player recruitment pool, do a deal with the Aussies and make friends with the RU so we can piggyback on the RFU's off field nous. Then of course we get someone who knows what they are doing to sort out the mess I made.

But seriously, all of us below SL should resign from the competition and just tell the RFL where to go, then start again ala 1895.

We can't afford to do any of that unfortunately. And i say "we" meaning the collective mob that exist outside Super League.
