IMO there is no chance of a legal challenge. O'Connor and Widnes set the precedent for this situation in 2008.

The RFL knew they were wrong omitting Widnes for the disaster of Crusaders. The sweetener to O'connor was the promise that as long as they didn't rock-the-boat ( ie legal action), won one of the specified competitions, they would then be guaranteed a place at the next licence application round. Hence the reason they've done the minimum on the field and looked to build up reserves and improve off-field.

Has Mr Glover the charm ( or power ??) to ring the same agreement from the RFL ??

My heart says we won't get a franchise but my head has doubts. The club seem to be going in the right direction and have even advertised 2 job vacancies in the past couple of weeks, the last one being an admin position in the community department which you wouldn't think could be run on the same scale in the lower league. May be a short lived job! Hope my heart is proved wrong.

Quote: BIGAL1 "I've had this crazy idea, lets take the 14 best applications from all RL clubs and make a Super League, it must be done on the applications and not the "who we want" or what may be best for the game, just the 14 strongest.

Would it work.'"


What a stupid idea...

Have you considered working for the RFL?

Quote: Uptoncat "I'm feeling pretty positive at the moment, for some reason I think we'll get our franchise, I think the noises we have made are too loud to ignore and they're not just pipe dreams.'"


This is true, but I get the impression that others in the RL world see us as "all mouth, no trousers" - i mean how long have we been going on about a new stadium? Some people see the hospitality box as a massive portacabin we built instead of upgrading the ground properly as we promised.

It would be really unfair for us to get the boot, but as others have said - the other teams who are competing with us would say the same about their own bid. We'll just have to wait and see.

I have always considered, "lack of faith" from the RFL in us as a club, to be one of our major stumbling blocks.
From all reports the RFL are, and continue to be hugely impressed by the efforts the club has gone to, hopefully they will realise that what has been achieved in 6 months could go on and make us a very reputable SL club.
At this moment in time we are the most progressive "club" in the competition, other clubs are being told to look at some of our operations as "best practice".
I hope this stands us in good stead, and that the RFL bods realise what they are dealing with, and don't let either our past or their proposed expansionist future derail the good work being done.
Potentialy the sleeping giant has started to stir, lets not be put into a RFL induced coma, to protect clubs with nothing to offer.

There is a strong rumour from certain parts of the kick and clap world, that Harlequins are considering a drop in division for a couple of years to build a sustainable winning club. All this with some kind of golden handshake assurance from the RFL. Surely this would make sense with proposed re-branding and would make it somewhat easier to sell the game to public of the 'Big Smoke' if they were watching a winning side. A one step back followed by giant leaps forward.

Like I said it is only a rumour, sometimes there is no smoke without fire and not beyond the realms of possibility.
