It is pretty clear that 5 clubs are in line to be culled from Sl to make way for expansion into a wider framework.

In order for the drop are Wakefield, castleford, Hull KR, Huddersfield & Widnes and these clubs will be replaced by Dublin, Edinburgh, S Wales, Toulouse and Leicester.

Does it make any sense? no
Do I care any more? no
Am I looking forward to real rugby league in the championship? Yes

I haven't a clue what has been written in the franchise application - I don't know who has and hasn't on this forum. I would have thought that they would have put together the strongest application they could and if anyone has leaked any of this they should no longer have a job connected with the club. To say that AG has rolled over to the RFL with regards to Barnsely without knowing the full facts is not fair. Remember a few weeka ago we didn't even know if we would play out this season in SL.

shuddup pat

One of the most disgraceful posts I have ever seen. You have no idea at all why I use Big Man as my user name, you know nothing about me and I will never grace you with an explaination as to why I use it. The content and insinuation that you have attribuated to me just because of an image you have created in such a sad little mind renders you as nothing more than an obnoxious ignorant little waste of space. You are a disgrace posting such drivel and should hang your head in shame.

Oh dear ,someone asks you a question and you find it disgraceful.
Tut tut,lets give nasty old Chissitt a slap on the wrist.

BTW,you never actually answered the question - were you one of those people in question???

the word hypocrisy springs to mind
