RFL & logic - surely an oxymoron Sir??

It is a very secretive organisation now the RFL isn't it. Do you think that they all have been to the Sep Blatter school for for sporting organisation management. Fax hadn't been told why they have failed and they won't say anything publicly. No doubt they will get a visit this week and with an arm around there shoulder be told not to worry as they will definitely be in next time. Ring any bells. If I was ther Fax board I would keep shtum from now on.

They also said it may be more than one that drops out. If they had anyone believing that then they are dumber than they look.

There is no logic because Wakefield have been in administration, haven't got anything sorted with regards to a stadium, and are subsequently getting whooped week in and week out. Therefore whether Crusaders withdrew their application or not Wakefield should have gone. They're not going to convince me that Wakefields bid ticked more boxes than Halifax's... come on!

There may be, but there wasn't. Perfectly true.



How do you know how dumb some undefined person looks, anyway ?

It makes no sense.

Well it looks like its not now about meeting all the crieria. Its a case of that you can fail in some areas as long as you are strong in others. The only problem for the Championship teams is that the `others` areas are ones that are unatainable to them without either a big money backer or the extras that the Sky money allows.

Then surely the bid process is a waste of time Greg? How do we attain the turnover and attendance figures in a league where all the casual fan can see is that you are basically playing for nothing.

I also think it makes SL far less entertaining because the clubs at the bottom are comfortable with finishing bottom to try and improve the following year hence attendance figures being affected (along with the fact they have had some poorly supported clubs in Harlequins and Crusaders in the division).

The gate has now been shut, locked bolted and the no entry sign is up they are now thinking of ways to engage the burglar alarm.

Absolutely.
It hasn't gone unnoticed that in yesterdays announcements there was no mention of a guaranteed place for a championship club next time round

What if the club who lost It's license had a better application than widneseseseseses?

Irrelevent because they wern't in compitition with Widnes.

Brilliant post from the author of the thread.

Can anyone give me 3 good reasons for the franchise system please??
