So criticised if they haven't said something and criticised if they have?

Give it a rest.

It's staying at 14 clubs. The RFL have made it clear enough and given no reason (other than not constantly repeating themselves) to suggest otherwise.

Not at all, just don't think they can plan that far ahead, obviously you do and have bought into everything they tell you, good for you i like sheep.

Do any of James Webster, Jon Goddard & Makali Aizue play for Hull KR now? If you would like to name the players (bar the 4 named) who played regularly at HKR in 2007 and still play for them now then maybe you could argue the statement if not, i can only assume you have made the same mistake as the others, which in your case is worse as it has been explained numerous times and pointed out numerous times since, that the statement doesnt mean only Murrell, Fisher, and Cockayne (and Netherton) played for Hull KR in 2006 and 2007. I honestly cant believe so many people got confused by it.

The clubs voted for the amount of clubs to be kept the same. The RFL didnt decide it.

He probably hasnt 'bought into everything' they have told him, just read and understood it. Unlike others.

Back to the Op , but with a different slant on it , having an odd number of teams in a competition as we do in the Championship is also problematic , Leigh this season have only dropped points on two occaisions , both times when playing on a short turnaround against opposition that had had an extra weeks rest , do they have this problem in Australia ? , with clubs losing games having been affected by the ' Bye ' week ?

The RFL has not categorically stated anything. There is absolutely nothing in any of the documentation surrounding the licensing process that states Super league will remain at 14 clubs.

Leigh have possibly been a little unfortunate in this regard, especially with the weeks happening thus far however many coaches argue that the week off is a negative influence. I suppose it depends, if you're carrying a couple of knocks a week off does you the world of good.

Swings and roundabouts im guessing. But no, the 4 day? turnaround probably didnt help

In the Championship this is compounded with the thursday TV games as well , especially with PT players , John Duffy could hardly walk on Monday as he was injured last Sunday leaving the pitch and not returning , but put his hand up to play last night

We hear about SL clubs coaches complaining about the easter matches , quite often a Championship club will play friday/monday/thursday over easter to satisfy SKY , without recieving any monetary compensation

Here here. Hopefully some day the Championhip will get a TV deal in it's own right. I've always though Sunday evening is a great time. Could throw in highlights into that as well. Sure they did that in the past when I was a wee nipper

Other than on their website under licensing, frequently asked questions where they say

SL = GREED = Go take a jump the rest of the RFL!!!!. We don't give a monkeys including the international game.

Odsal is ok when its not raining. When it is the away fans are obliged to stand in the wind and rain and get soaked, in the same way they are at Wakey. At least at Cas you can get under cover unless the game is near capacity.

2nd point - absolute rubbish! Cas spend nowhere near the salary cap and are doing better than 3 teams spending up to the cap or certainly a lot more. Spending is no guarantee of success.

The clue to it not being a categorical statement, or absolutely fixed, regarding the licence grants for 2012 onwards lies in just three words of what you quoted.

It's about time the RFL started to scribe their plans in the flesh. Then there would be no doubt. You could fit the rudiments of franchising on Nigel Wood's stomach using a scalpel and some indian ink.
