.........and Leigh, Halifax, and Featherstone, etc. My big problem with this licensing process is that it turns fans against each other because the criteria of performance on the field is replaced by the politics of performance off the field. You cannot argue against defeat on the pitch - knock-out comps, promotion/relegation, etc, but you can argue forever about stadia, attendances, import players, history, etc. Sadly for Wakey fans this year they are now feeling the fear of championship football. But when they (the club, not the fans) felt they were safe when licences were issued last time, they had no problem with the proces, its fairness or its suitability for our great game. Now they are threatened by this very same process, all of a sudden it is unjust, in-appropriate and the work of the devil! If it was good enough for Leigh, Halifax, Widnes, Featherstone, Barrow, etc, last time, it is good enough for all current SL clubs now. You cannot buy into a system/process when it suits and then argue against it when it doesn't.
Good luck to Wakey and all other clubs this time round, but I will not be signing the 'I like' page.
I'm out!

Point of order.
1. We were given dispensation to have more foreign players when we "started".......
2. We were voted back into SL when we went under in 2005
3. This year, the RFL has agreed to assist in Marketing.

The way you use "special treatment" makes it sound like Quins or Broncos before them have received extra cash, they havent. Received assistance in their development and community programmes, they haven't or been afforded any other "favours" which they haven't.
Crusaders being lent cash is between them and the RFL.......DON'T ATTEMPT TO TAR US WITH THE SAME BRUSH.

As I have said, deal with your problems.......don't try to deflect from them by muddying the waters and pointing at anyone else. It does you or your club no favours.
