Doesnt the RFL rules for administration include starting the next season on -9 points? If so what is the point

They could deduct them 100 points, it doesn't make any difference. There's no relegation, so their SL place is safe with the current crazy rules system that is in place.

No, but if they are run as the current club in adminstration then they should be deducted the two points and when they apply for a superleague licence for 2012 they will have been in adminstration in the past 12 months and therefore inelligible to apply???

For me, if they form a new club they should make an application to join the rugby league at a maximum of Championship 1. The Celtic Crusaders secured a superleague licence based on the position of their ground and their business plan. This was not awarded to Crusaders, nor Welsh Crusdaders. But then the RFL will do exactly what they want to, as they always do.

Not if they are in adminstration, because they would be inelligible to apply, as they would have been in adminstration in the past 12 months (widnes!!!)

However the RFL would just simply change their rules to ensure that they were in.

Didn't someone post somewhere that these administration 'rules' have mysteriously disappeared from the RFL Operating Guidelines and Procedures on the RFL website?

Now it has been reported that they are not going to be wound up - apparently HMRC are applying to withdraw the wind up order...

I am confused.com...!

Apparently they'd paid this debt ages ago as it turns out, everyone just forgot.

what a load of tosh

I forget i've paid for things sometimes aswell to be fair and often need a private meeting with a governing body where no agreement or money was given to remind me. Don't know what all the fuss is about. You're all just looking for things to moan about now.

Didnt we show up on a list of companies to be wound up one day, leading to a very quickly released statement from Mr Steele saying it was referring to an old debt that had been settled, but not in time to be removed from the list that is published

Aye, but as soon as we saw it, Mr Steele released said statement. When we all saw Crusaders there, their bloke goes 'aye, we're up it without a paddle to be honest'. So why didn't he remember there and then they'd actually paid it?

Crusaders will not get a license. Cas, Wakey and Salford to stay up. Widnes to join them. Gives Fax a chance to step up to the plate in 2015.

Yeh right, like thats going to happen

Have the RFL said there will be a club promoted from the Championship in 2015?
`Cos I can`t see it myself to be honest, it wouldn`t surprise me at all if it was lock down after this time.Unless of course one of them implodes then some one else might get a look in.
