Quote: leyther_geezer "I bet I'm not the only who thinks this but isn't a 3year SL licence too long? As everyone expected salford & crusaders got mullered in their 1st season of 2009 SL but wot happend the next season crusaders got into the playoffs & salford didn't end up in a relegation position in the old format. So why do we need a 3 year Licence as they've already proved a couple of seasons in SL should probably get you on your feet & see you right at the highest level of RL.......?'"
It's about business planning phases, not 'being ready for SL competition'.
