Big Al wrote[i]I don't, i think we are battling against the RFL for a SL franchise.

I also believe we will not get one (at this present time) and that ours will not be the weakest application IF they follow the critera laid down.

I also believe that being a development side and having a new stadium is the be all and end all of the RFL and the critera is little more than a fairy tale.

No doubt i'll be shot down but thats my view.[/i[/i]

Don't know about shot down...90% of the RL world would agree with you. The whole licence process is a farce. As any decision is totally at the RL's discretion and cannot be challenged, the decision as to who is in and who is out will depend upon the RFL's and Sky's whims and fantasies.

I think the fact he is a RU loving journo ponce is influencing him more than the fact he has a legal background.

That may well be the case, but all the RL loving journo ponce's arent saying it, so he'll have to do.
From what i understand of him, from people who know him, he's a decent fella, by the way.

Wonder what he made of his 'amateur' colleagues picking up money in their boots, undeclared to HMRC, for many years. From his legal background of course.

So the "all" the RL loving journo's are wrong and then and this 1 particular RU loving journo is right then?

I can't think of many, make that any RL journos that have come out and said that this franchise system is a joke, so Moore will have to do, as he has.
