Tigertot, bare in mind that up here RL is a minority sport. For casual followers I'm a port of call and I've had so many questions asked abou the process that neither myself or any RL fan could answer. Amongst them "weren't Halifax told their bid was good enough?" In April is the one where "yes" is the most baffling answer. I'm here at work and a mate just came over and said he didnt understand what happened yesterday.

Wakefield knew they didn't meet the criteria and Elston himself said they didn't expect the green light.

As Daveyz said above the fact the announcement raised more questions then it answered, coupled with the fact the ensuing questions havent been answered, mean the RFL embarrased us yesterday in my opinion.

In the RL heartland of Leeds no-one has said a word to me about it. Apart from the tigress who said "A team beginning with C from Wales have been kicked out of rugby league, I heard on the radio." Of course it's your opinion, as 99% of the stuff on here is. As long as we do it with a modicum of respect for others it's what makes it interesting.

In my opinion everything I say is fact icon_wink.gif

Don't think the RFL could do much else and I actually think its fair play on Crusaders for pulling their application when they did. They've not done well by their players and could clearly have handled it better. I'm annoyed that they've made me feel sorry for Keith Senior!

However, I think it would have been worse if they'd let their application go through, Wakefield got relegated as anticipated and then Crusaders folded in April next year as they are clearly financially unsustainable. That wouldn't have been fair on Wakefield.

Either Wakefield's bid was good enough or it was not. If it was not good enouigh on Monday, how come it was good enough yesterday?

Is it not more a case of "compared to everyone else"? So Wakefields bid was not as good as Crusaders and therefore they would go down. With Crusaders out the comparison is then Wakefield to Halifax and they are judged to be better than Fax?

some interesting comments coming from the Crusaders players on twitter in the last twenty four hours!

the likes of the Board KNEW all the time that the "illegal" imports were here illegally but they offered "hush" money to the said players to keep quiet!

players wages not being paid ...

interestingly Mark Bryant has said he has signed for a superleague club .. and its not salford?
