I just don't get the either/or thing. Both clubs were run shambolically but thankfully under new owner, Andrew Glover, Wakefield look much more solid.
I feel for the Crusaders players and fans. They've been royally stiffed by their own board. The players found out on Sky like the rest of us apparently and are now in a meeting with Rod Findlay.
And from what I'm hearing Crusaders, along with Wrexham FC might not be around next year never mind in two.

What now for Halifax, surely they will never get a SL license now.

Glover will get Wakefield a half decent stadium - probably in partnership with Cas, then almost everyone is sorted.

KR are slowly doing Craven park. Bradford will never be kicked out.

Closed shop forever?

Expansion to 15 or 16 teams next time around?

Could always expand the League?

A few Crusaders players are venting on Twitter

Hanbury:

F$&& me crusaders & @StephenBMoses yeh gone mate. Owners ed us

Bryant:

It's a joke mate, I'm out of here next yr anyway but owed a ton of cash by the club! Absolute disgrace!

White:

boys signing 3 year contracts, what do you think? We knew nothing

Hard not to feel for the players.

Possibly, but its unlikely without some major sponsorship or a much better TV deal. Are either likely?

They'll revert to promotion and relegation again. Halifax must be fuming, there's just no conceivable way Wakefield had a better proposal than Fax.

Nigel Wood on SSN now, Crusaders pulled out in last 24 hours, so they decided Halifax werent going to make it. So the man who was in charge of Halifax when they went bust doesnt let them back in.

I wonder how welcome Wood will ever be in Halifax again?

Fax had met the criteria, when they decided Widnes would be let into superleague, so what has happened to them to suddenly not get in?

Very strange imo

What a fuc**ng mess. No wonder people look at our sport as tin pot. Today has totally undermined the whole sport.

Feel more sorry for Halifax to be honest, as said they met the criteria before so it's strange they don't now, and they must've had a much better application than Wakefield just for the ground situation.

All in all though, it's right Crusaders have gone. For me it should've been between them, Wakey and Quins. The alleged surge in youngsters playing RL in London really helped Quins and I hope that pays off throughout 2012-14. Crusaders just weren't getting the crowds and so it's right they're going down. That's if they even exist in 2012.

I think they should bring back P and R with some of the rules from licensing , this licensing is garbage the RFL should go through with the original decision and knock the team down who they was gona relegate originally . Crusader s just made there job easy for them .
