He probably doesn't like ' toeing the party line ' and discussing something like ' franchise applications ' isn't where he is at , its got bugger all to do with RL , he also probably sees it for what it is , just Fax being used to give a proccess some strange sort of credibility

Weren't you lot all saying the same think a few weeks back? Tbh only since licence day has the SL bug caught on here...

Not moaning, is better to be positive and your in with a half decent chance IMO, unlikely, but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes at RFL or any bidding clubs!

Have you been drinking ? , Bit early for the cider even in Widnes isn't it ?

haven't even re-read comment but expected that response as wrote it whilst chatting about footy so paying 0 attention resly, haha.

Maybe he should be asked to explain his comments. Im not reading that as he is slagging the club off. Maybe he is saying that as though he knows its a closed shop when it shouldnt be.

Its not so much that hes insulted the club, but when people have worked really hard over the last 3 years putting are bid together why does he feel like he has to reapeatedly say tht we have no chance of getting a franchise in july?? Its an insult to the people who have all that time putting the bid together isn't it??

The only ones insulting anybody is the RFL , do you seriously think they take any real notice of your licence application ?

People people people...
Skys coverage is crap anyway, what did you expect?
You've spent years listening to Eddie and Stevo talking crap, do you really think any of them would think any different.
And to be honest, even though we know what a charade it is, we have now seen where the benchmark is, its up to us now to increase our crowds and develop a better youth system, and thats all we can do while the game is a slave to Red Hall idiots and Sky marketing.

That is the key , that is the one area that is not open to ' subjective ' judgement

Unless you are Harlequins and Crusaders

Starbug, You really get on my nerves pal coming on here and every thread that mentions OUR SL application you like to say " do you seriously think they take any real notice of your licence application " or they are just doing this so that the RFL look to be taking it seriously but you have no chance etc.

Do you think you will be any different in 3 years time ?. I don't, The fact is our club has worked very hard for the last 3 years to get to the point of where we are. Then you spout that crap at every oppurtunity all becuase so far your team are doing well.

But it is open to corruption
