[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Quote: Him "Didn't they receive a licence for 3 years? Why would it be revoked earlier than this period?'"
I think you'll find that when the current licences were issued the RFL said that they could be revoked early if the clubs didn't meet the criteria. Given all that's happened with us, Bradford etc. since then, I suspect it's been quietly forgotten about  |

Strictly speaking your flat is about half the cost of the one in Hull, given that you're pricing pcm and the Hull flat is pw. Having said that a fully serviced docklands flat in London would be considerably more than the one in Hull. So your underlying point is sound even if the example isn't.

All other points aside, if we don't actually have a squad or a ground, the RFL won't really need to revoke our license, we can't really invite the other teams round for a game down the local park against whoever we can rope in off the streets that day.

Gutterfax knows how to market sport better than any major sports club or governing body in the world.....that's why he's selling netball tickets for a living in the remote regions of New Zealand.

ALL WIGAN SUPPORTERS MUST
1. Wigan must not win a hard fought struggle in appalling conditions, nilling the opposition and scoring 16 points, because that makes for the worst CC Final of all time.
2. Wigan must not get to the final by nilling the opposition and scoring 70 points with a display of attacking rugby because that makes for the worst CC Semi Final of all time.
3. Wigan players must not consider winning the game but devote all their efforts to entertaining neutral fans. Just like all the other teams do...
4. Wigan fans must not mention winning the CC Final, as that is arrogant.
5. Wigan fans must not mention winning the Challenge Cup 19 times, or indeed any other Trophies, as that is very arrogant indeed.
6. Wigan fans must not attend actual games. It is now compulsory to stay at home, watch on TV and moan about how low attendances at games are.: |

If Tony Rea (or whoever is head coach) will be doing a ring round on Saturday lunch time trying to get a team out for the home match that day. Brings back happy days of my amateur days. |

I noticed that as well chief, but i suspect something must be wrong. Anyone paying 630 a week for anywhere in "hull docklands (class that by the way!) is probably southern and stupid  |

| Quote: Munchkin007 "Can anyone explain why the current situation with [sizeLondon Broncos[/size doesn't result in them losing their franchise?
No ground
Virtually no coaching staff - no medical staff
No spectators
No financial backing
Approx 1/2 a squad still on the books
Rumours of wage arrears of 2 months+ to some players that are out of contract/leaving
How much evidence does the RFL need to strip them of their franchise licence?'"
If it was Batley Broncos, they would be left to die. |

Surely you can understand the strategic difference between a club in Batley and a club in London. |
