This is the RFL we are talking about so they probably will.

Are these FACTS or just suppositions? |

| Quote: Therailwayendisuponus. "I dont understand why one club has to go, the aussies just add to their league. Why cant we? The RFL really dont have a clue.'"
the main reason we can't just expand the leage is that SLE - ie the 14 clubs, voted earlier this year to keep the league at 14 for 2012-14, after agreeing that one place would definity go to a current Championship club. Rather than share the next TV deal among a larger number, they voted for one of tjemselves to be playing championship rugby for 2012-14.
I've not seen details of the vote, but it would be interesting to see how Cas, Wakey, Salford or other Category C clubs, including Crusaders and Quiins voted... |

| I thought the RFL only guaranteed Champ place after the agreement to stay at 14? And it surprised a few  as I am sure some would of voted differently. Seem to remember the announcements being a little apart... And caught the money grabbing #%^*~> out  |

The Wakey squad for next seaon has an abundance of up and coming young players, if the worst happens to us and we lose our franchise next year most of the squad will move on somewhere else, but those youngsters who I don't think will be blessed with big wages will hopefully stay with the club although some of them might be picked up by some SL clubs. |

Could happen actually. I can see them becoming an 'expand when it's needed' sort of competition like the NRL.

More a case of anything other than dumping somebody out , and potentially committing that club to financial and social meltdown |

The players contracts come to an end when the club leaves SL. They'd be under no obligation to stay for the 3 years on part time wages in the championship. Unless the RFL makes some special dispensation, they simply would not be allowed to register a 2011 contract that says (for example) £60k this year in SL and £15k next year in championship. [They can and will]
I'm sure you're right that Wakefield (or Cas or Salford for that matter) have some players on the fringe of the squad who're not currently full-time who would stay and others would make the step up from the academy.
[Fringe? Many wakey players would be of little interest of other SL clubs]
But I'd expect nearly all of the current first 17 to leave.
[In a squad of 29/30 the bulk of those 17 going still leaves half the squad. half is not the entire squad]
As the salary cap will make it hard to outbid other championship clubs when it comes to recruiting replacements, I just can't see any club which leaves SL being an instant play-off contender in the championship.'" |

No it does not. An abundance of youngsters maybe.
Sadly for wakey their last season at BV will be one where fans can watch umpteen journeymen and several kids who played all last year in the u20s competition. Add this to poor finances and no actual ground in 2012 and it makes for a dreadful SL bid. |

given that the guarantee of a place for a championship club was first announced in 2009 (if not 200icon_cool.gif and the SLE clubs voted to keep it at 14 this autumn ... no
