The proverbial goalposts will definitely be moved by time the new franchises come around again. The only scenario I could see a club lose its franchise is if they go into administration....but then again I wouldn't hold my breath.

I to think the goal post will move, but I also agree with what SF said lets worry about us not anybody else. If we get our act together, pulling in crowds, are seen as a club that develops players, good links with local community, playing attractive rugby in a well organised facility, could they refuse us? [iDon’t answer that![/i

I've said it before we need to somehow make it so they want us, we have to be better than what they currently have.

You never know - W***n, Saints, Warrington, Salford may all go bust. (not that I would wish that on any of them, not even W***n!) But then the RFL would argue that we are geographically too close to Catalans, (NSW) Crusaders, and 'The Mighty' Quin(s) to qualify!
