changing the rules to suit their needs.

In the League Express today..

Toulouse are now exempt from on field performance criteria in order to submit an application for a SL licence in 2012.

All money must now be on them to get a licence but this is sickening news for anyone in the lower leagues. The goalposts have been moved again and no amount of spin will hide the fact that the RFL simply have no concern for the game below SL. The Championship teams have been spat in the face by Messers Lewis and Wood this morning.

jeesus.
I spend a lot of time defending the RFL, but this, this just goes against everything they promised and why bother having a competition in the first place!?
I actually think they should have been exempt, but to see it announced now, and Widnes lose out AGAIN will be pathetic.
2 clubs go from SL or Toulouse stay where they are.

i am also a defender of the RFL and of the franchise system - but this just seems like they are deliberately trying to alienate large portions of the RL fanbase.

They made a decision 2 years ago on the criteria needed for SL2012 - they cant just change their mind for 1 team and not for the others.

To the 'defenders of the RFL'... Nice of you to catch up with what the rest of us already know.

If Toulouse get a license for 2012 and we dont im finished with Rugby League, how on earth they can just change rules like this is beyond belief and just expect people to accept it.

Ludicrous decision on the face of it.

Any kind of justification offered?

The Championship clubs voted to let Toulouse in on the strength of them having to abide by the same qualification rules as everyone else. When this vote was taken Toulouse allegedly already knew they din't have to abide by the same rules, hence their finishing in a relegation position last season.

Would the clubs have voted the same way if they knew that they and the press had been told one thing and Toulouse something completely different.

They haven't changed any rules though if Toulouse knew the criteria they had to fit when they entered the competition as is stated

Lol. As if it's anything to do with them? How on earth will shopping terrorism against Co-Op, a supporter of RL help the situation?

Direct your jealousy/anger towards the RFL/SL not the sponsors please.

The rfl/SL have changed the rules & as a consequence anything to bring pressure is fair game...............

What about telling the rest of the world what rules Toulouse would have to abide by?

www.therfl.co.uk/~therflc/home/n ... p?id=11628

Does that count as changing the rules?
