The RFL seem to like moving the goal posts. This latest decision would be laughable if it wasn't so serious.
Until promotion and relegation is restored no-one will ever be happy with the franchise situation. Even the end of season playoffs are there purely as money making exercises. A play off should only be needed if it were decided that the bottom team in SL played the top team in the Championship for a place in SL. At the moment why bother winning the League? You can do that by finishing 6th !
I am becoming disillusioned with RL. The whole set up stinks. Strange it has only been like this since SL, I spent 25 years happily watching RL before SL came along.
Hell I might even go and watch RU, that looks more like RL used to do than RL does now!!!

Wakey were saved by the Crusaders administration , simple as , if it had still been in the rules that an ' admin ' sent you down , Wakey were dead in the water , as there is no way with an ' admin ' against them their bid would have matched Fax's

So I can understand the reaction of both the Fans and Chairman of Halifax

Off you go then. I bet you used to love standing on crumbling grounds with crowds averaging 4,000.

Dont let nostalgia hit you on the ar$e on the way out

Cas and Wakefield still are?

I'm not the ' villain ' here , its the idiots that pretended that Celtic Crusaders were a viable SL club 3 years ago , thats when the damage was done

They aren't sustainable in SL , and I suspect they wont be sustainable in the Championships , although I do hope they can be saved , and if that means the RFL openly funding them , I'll take that , as long as nobody starts getting ' giddy ' again

Wakefield...the club that Super League just can't get rid of.



Hard luck Halifax. I do feel you've been hard done by.

It's funny because it's probably true.

No, he'd prefer Halifax to be rewarded for the work they've done over the last three years and Wakefield to have their license revoked for not living up to promises made over the last 3 years.

You do realise that the 'no administration' criteria was ditched months ago, don't you? So no clubs were assessed against that criteria in this round of applications.

And why was that ?

And if it had not been , which current Championship club would most definatly be in SL in 2012 ?

Even the VT apologists are starting to make the RFL look pathetic.



Perhaps if the RFL could choose some rules & criteria and try sticking to them for more than 12 months then they may gain a shred of credibility.
