Celebrating 25 years service to the Rugby League Community! |
| Quote: littlerich "It's the total binning of the RFL's assessment criteria that irks. Lewis even waffled on about how licensing would bring financial stability and then, in the next breath announced that a club which had gone into administration whilst holding a license were to be given another one. The RFL denied Widnes entry three years ago on that very basis. Dignity? How about a bit of integrity? The RFL should re-assess it's criteria requirements and bloody well stick to them!!!'" You would prefer a 13 team league then?

Integrity at Red Hall, just another cock-up following on from the Wigan debacle & the Hull FC Challenge Cup fiasco . Never mind the clubs, the governing body should be reviewed on a three year cycle, heads should roll.

The RFL seem to like moving the goal posts. This latest decision would be laughable if it wasn't so serious. Until promotion and relegation is restored no-one will ever be happy with the franchise situation. Even the end of season playoffs are there purely as money making exercises. A play off should only be needed if it were decided that the bottom team in SL played the top team in the Championship for a place in SL. At the moment why bother winning the League? You can do that by finishing 6th ! I am becoming disillusioned with RL. The whole set up stinks. Strange it has only been like this since SL, I spent 25 years happily watching RL before SL came along. Hell I might even go and watch RU, that looks more like RL used to do than RL does now!!!

Wakey were saved by the Crusaders administration , simple as , if it had still been in the rules that an ' admin ' sent you down , Wakey were dead in the water , as there is no way with an ' admin ' against them their bid would have matched Fax's So I can understand the reaction of both the Fans and Chairman of Halifax

Off you go then. I bet you used to love standing on crumbling grounds with crowds averaging 4,000. Dont let nostalgia hit you on the ar$e on the way out

Quote: Dico "Off you go then. I bet you used to love standing on crumbling grounds with crowds averaging 4,000. Dont let nostalgia hit you on the ar$e on the way out'" I'm not the ' villain ' here , its the idiots that pretended that Celtic Crusaders were a viable SL club 3 years ago , thats when the damage was done They aren't sustainable in SL , and I suspect they wont be sustainable in the Championships , although I do hope they can be saved , and if that means the RFL openly funding them , I'll take that , as long as nobody starts getting ' giddy ' again

Wakefield...the club that Super League just can't get rid of. Hard luck Halifax. I do feel you've been hard done by.

Quote: The Devil's Advocate "Let’s face it, the only reason Wakey are in is because the Crusaders bailed at the eleventh hour. I can just imagine the pandemonium at Red Hall yesterday, with Lewis asking Rimmer where the bids for Wakey & Fax are. In the bin where you instructed comes the reply. Plan B then, who’s got the best pies Nigel? Wakey are in……….'" It's funny because it's probably true.

Quote: Richie "You would prefer a 13 team league then?'" No, he'd prefer Halifax to be rewarded for the work they've done over the last three years and Wakefield to have their license revoked for not living up to promises made over the last 3 years.
