| Quote: Saddened! "I feel sorry for the other applicants. Today is the Widnes show. Sky have revealed the decision already in how they've made it all about Widnes.
What I don't get is why the future of the current Sl sides isn't being decided at the same time. What if they review the applications and decide all the current teams deserve their place or are protected by being a franchise operation ?'"
The thing that has dissappointed me most about Widnes is the way that since they won the cup (albeit with a team of SL loanees) and thus ticked that box they seem to have disgarded the playing side of things and are no more than an also ran in the championship. It almost as if it's job done, feet up and a big fat cigar.
At least fax have kept on winning. |

So its Widnes with Fax getting a 2nd change to prove themselves against other Super League clubs.
Barrow out of the running full for the stadium.

it's so important that a"promoted" team has more time to prepare that if two teams are "promoted" then the second one wont have it  |

| Quote: kirkstaller "Interesting to see that Barrow have no chance, even in July.'" Indeed and the kudos he gave both Widnes and Halifax leaves with a nagging feeling that it had a hidden meaning. |

Yes, Halifax go forward to July 26th. Barrow don't. So 13 to choose from 14 applicants. |

Credit to the Widnes board for making it a formality. They did what the RFL wanted of them so deserve their shot at SL.

[quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

| They seem very excited about playing Warrington next season
They have more work to do on the field than any other team during the last 5 years of promotion. Will the extra couple of months they have Vs teams promoted by the grand final be enough? |

Interesting. I reckon the rfl are the most unprofessional governing body ever.
The timetable for this is ridiculous. How can Super League's current sides and Halifax prepare properly for the future when it is so uncertain?

Dickie is now saying that halifax met the criteria and will be compared directly to the super league clubs in the are bidding in july. the more you hear him speak the more you feel that 2 are going. the sky sports newsreaders said that both Crusaders and Wakefield must be favorites for the push due to the financial irregularities! Crusaders are'nt nailed on then? They may owe the RFL money but if the stadium was put up as a guarentee then the RFL will be able to claw its money back if they get the boot.
