Just listened to his inerview on Sky Sports and he said he's struggling to see method in the rfl's madness and thta Wakefield have broke the rules by promising there would be in a new stadium for this set of licences.

WELL SAID MICHAEL STEELE

Well done Michael Steele.
Rfl what a set of w*****s

Widnes were failed for being insolvent in 2007; in the 2008 round of licenses.

Wakefield head into the 2011 season insolvent yet were awarded a license.

It's time for the club to man up, put it's head above the parapet and take the RFL to task. They can not let this go otherwise the lower leagues will just be disseminated. It's not just Halifax fans who can't believe this, it's the fans of every Championship Club. Unless this is put right the Championship is dead. Wakefield have received a licence by breaking the rules but are allowed to do this because the RFL have no b@lls.

The rules were changed.

Which rules have Wakefield broken??

How about having a ground up to standard by the beinging of the 2012 season.

Leave Cas out of it. The RFL have made clear that the economic climate has made it extremely difficult to build new stadia and accept that Castleford have made "significant progress" towards the Glasshoughton Stadium, having detailed planning permission to begin building (when we sell WR). Regardless of stadium, Cas will have picked up more points in the system than Fax, having a secure financial management history, a good contribution to the competition, excellent youth development structures and extensive work in the community.
Please don't compare our application with Wakefield's, or yours.

Absolutely spot on Bob and posted something very similar.
Where do we ALL from the championship go now.

Nothing at all against Wakefield but keeping them in after administration and their ground sitution can mean only one thing that their new owner has bribed his way in with a promise of a cash guarantee.
We are in the 17th year of Super League and some clubs have done nothing with their grounds etc.

Of all the decisions to make this is beyond belief, just break any rule you like and it will be okay.
I'm just lost for what else to say.

It's Ok Wakefield saying Belle Vue will be upgraded by next year, it's still not going to bring it up to SL standard.

You can roll a t*rd in glitter, it may now be sparkly, but it's still a t*rd

Whilst i dont think we have done everything we could have to ensure we could not be ignored. The debacle today has brought to light the lack of process and irrelevant criteria. I would urge as many peole as possible to pass their feedback to enquiries@rfl.uk.com You can possibly guess the naming convention from there, if you require other members of the RFL. What a sad day for the sport.

Gone up in my estimation has Michael Steele. Bout time he grew a pair and gave it to the RFL. The club cant take this lying down, if Wakey had come down i think they could have accepted it but with Wakey staying in they have to take action.

Allan Rowley at Leigh got slated for his comments three years ago. With the withdrawal of the Crusaders his comments have been vindicated. Good on ya Michael Steele

it's not just Halifax who need to stand up to the RFL, every single championship side should stand together
