I suspect the RFL's feedback simply said:

"Stop bleating or you won't get in next time, either."

They don't need anything - they have just had a fair shot. Halifax have confirmed that yesterday.

Well I'd disagree , as they thought beforehand , they had a fair shot , it would seem , you only find out afterwards , what you should have done ?

I dont know how you got any of that from my post. My OP was clearly directed at people expecting Halifax fans to somehow behave with good grace and see things with the neutrality that is only really afforded to those unaffected by such an event - it enables them to pick and choose which teams they decide they want to get behind and draw their conclusions without being accused of bias.

Wasn't having a go at you at all.

That's not what their press release says at all.

Unless you think that the RFL have strong armed...titter...unless you think that the RFL have strong armed Halifax into writing...titter. unless you think that the RFL have strong armed Halifax into writing and submitting that press release.... .
