They could always ask RFL could they relocate to Rhyl then we can have two North wales sides

Im sure they will bend over backwards to help them with relocation. To be honest it stinks real shame for Cougars i wish them well fingers crossed they get through it.

Surely they`d be better relocating to Scarborough for a season , easier for their fans .

It's the second season running a team that's come up has ended up in admin. Is winning promotion from Championship 1 really worth that much? And you have to wonder if clubs are saying within the salary cap if this is still happening.

i would guess that the step up to SL money wise is even harder.what happens if you get to SL,run up massive debts,then lose your license

scary thought for me

Said on Sky that they put off going into administration untill Jan 17th 2010. I think

I saw that December 18th was the date. Jan 17th was when the winding up order was adjourned till I think

Anyone a list of clubs that have nearly gone / gone recently (in last 12 months).....
From what I can remember......

Celtic Crusaders
Doncaster
Gateshead
Keighley
Oldham
Rochdale

Surely we now need to ensure that whatever clubs we currently have in RL remain in RL and concentrate all efforts to build up all the remaining clubs so that we don't have this type of announcement.

It's a shame for them definitely getting Deja Vu wel thats one team doomed for relegation (in my opinion they was likely anyway) who will also go down?

Just how much money do you have to throw at a club before you put your hands up and admit you were wrong and that you can't polish a turd?

More proof that P&R is dangerous to the game IMHO

I wonder if you can pick any 12 month spell when we had P&R that 6 clubs went pop or almost went pop. I suppose you have to bear in mind that RFL monies were shared out proportionally to all its member clubs pre-SL, wonder if thats why, not as many went pop, some did but I would hazard a guess not like we have seen in the last 12 months...must be the credit crunch, can't be anything to do with the game of RL thats going from strength to strength.................isn't it?

You could look at each one of them clubs and there is a lot more to it than looking at a stat, then blame SL for not sharing their money out.
Doncaster and Gateshead - we all know they was mis managed big time.
Rochdale, was 2006 when we visited and there was about 50 Rochdale fans - no Pro club can survive with that as a average.
Oldham - same again mismanaged in recent past and fall out of chasing SL caught them up, together with having problems of no ground.
Keighley in theory should be better set than Dewsbury having gained more games receipts by getting promoted via playoffs, and still they are in trouble.
Crusaders (as they are known now) haven't gone under. They have problems of course, and I'm sure you will provide the threads to highlight them on a weekly basis.
