I knew I wasn't imagining it

There was definitely some sort of summary - two or three paragraphs from each applicant - last time around.

I'll be very interested to see if such a thing happens this time

It is, but like last time it will be published in a few days when the dust settles!

Because they're not publicly quoted companies.

Tell you what - approach the chairman/board of pretty much any of the SL clubs and ask them what their opinion is of being forced to expose details of their finances and business plans for the next three years to public scrutiny. Then stand well back.

Are Wood, Rimmer and Lewis fit and proper to be running the game, its not gonna take much for the SL house of cards to come crashing down at this rate.
They are and effing disgrace and its about time SL Clubs and Fans showed some backbone, one by one you will be pushed aside, you better believe it. For who's good?

Vote of no confidence required.

Yes indeed. SL is bound to fail now that Fax have been denied a place. Absolutely no chance that Fax might have submitted a weaker application that the clubs who were awarded licenses. No siree.

As Nigel Wood said on Boots n All tonight

"Bla, Bla, Bla, Bla, Bla, Bla."

I am hearing this is indeed the case. Halifax, to quote Clan, did have an open goal but only managed to hit the the corner flag with their bid, it was poor! Their application was significantly weaker than Wakefield's full stop! I think when the RFL issues their summaries that might hopefully become clearer.

Also, as for transparency, well I suspect when the regular season ends then things will become much clear when Crusaders will go into administration and the financial information becomes public record. It is alleged that the £700k (which is secured on the Racecourse) owed to the RFL has grown significantly as the RFL have again, allegedly, had to pay the wages of the players for at least the couple of months and of course look set to have to continue to do so till the end of the season.

I think everyone should let the dust settle before the 'judge' the RFL!

To achieve that, the clubs would have to vote! and guess what.. they dont want to

Not a hope in hell of that happening on here.
