It's started already. Halifax and Wakefield fans have got the handbags out and swinging.

Wakefield lose licence = RFL are corrupt. Wakefield in, Crusaders out = death of game. Typical rugbyleague fans

This.

which was?

What did he say?

It was too soon fro Crusaders. Shame for Halifax too, Wakefield should have gone down also.

Bring back P & R

Not going to happen with Lewis/Wood in charge.

The merits of licensing are obvious, but it has to be allowed to grow naturally in terms of club development in the championship. The days of dumping clubs into towns with a SL licence are surely over?

Finch is playing scrum half

I hope in a few years when they get the grounds up to spec and all the clubs get used to what is needed and expected that they bring back promotion and relegation. I can see pros and cons to both but your right P&R seems the only real fair way.

Rod Findlay getting some reet grief. Fair play to the bloke though, he's going to front a fans forum tonight.

thought he was playing stand off like he did at the storm.

Basically he countered every point wakefield made re history etc, and asked why if they were the weakest applicant and were basically dead certs to make way for widnes, how has it changed, the facts on wakefield havnt changed, no groung and gone bust etc.

i suspect they are thinking about a legal challenge, but not sure if that is in thier best interests

but i do think thyat is the end of pro rl in wales.......

the halifax chairman also mentioned the devaluing of the championship now widnes have gone, and it looks unlikly that crusaders will drop down.....
