If the Crusaders go into administration, how can they be allowed to continue in SL let alone be gauranteed of the next 3 year licence, when the main reason given to Widnes for their unsuccesful licence bid last time round was the fact that they'd entered administration in 2007?

We all know this but this is the RFL we are talking about.

Yes i agree with you 100% Anything to help our australian "whoops" welsh friends out.

Oh yeah forgot about that.......

Can't see this being true, and even if it was there is almost no chance of the Chairman of SL Clubs voting for this. Why would 13 chairman, of which all bar maybe Hudds, Wire and possibly Hull FC are relying on a set amount of Sky money to get them through the year vote to reduce their share of the pot?

Take out the bit about expanding to 15 clubs and you'll be a lot closer to what is really happening!

Now that would be completely unfair.

Well that's the RFL for you!

What excactly do you know - are we about to get royally stiffed?

I'm guessing the club who loses out is about to get shafted.

As in, no promoting of a championship club and the league stays as it is, or license applications as normal and lets all ignore the administration (if it happens). I realise that both are equally unfair, and I'm happy with neither, but as a Wakey fan one of those options makes me a hell of a lot more angry than the other!

FWIW, I really quite like the Crusaders fans, and I have a real soft spot for them. The way the club is run is ridiculous, but it's hardly their fault. It's be a shame if they went under.
