Quote vastman="vastman"Nothing the RFL says could stop a legal challenge, the RFL has no power to enforce it's rules other than by the consent of the clubs involved. It could suspend a club but a court could overide that decision and any other that conflicted with business or employment law. The RFL is a mickey mouse organisation, it can make rules but only the Courts can enforce them.
That said no one will challenge it - it could succeed but where the value is to us I'm not sure - it's like demanding an invite to a party where no one likes you and no one will talk to you.'"
YOU'VE got it in one VASTMAN regarding the legality of the process. The Clubs have to agree that they won't challenge the result but from a legal point of view that agreement is worthless. But which of the clubs would have the bottle or the funds to take such an action? Widnes were told 3 years ago to keep sweet and quiet and they would get a place in three years - they simply had to meet the criteria of winning one of the appropriate competitions.
The licence application is a farce will be worded to achieve anything the RFL require. So if they want to give the boot to one Club then it's Cas or Wakey - and I don't believe either of those clubs should go. I can think immediately of three clubs who have less credentials to stay in SL !!!
