| Quote BillyRhino="BillyRhino":D Actually old bean, you owe your inclusion to the Crusaders on 2 counts.
If they hadn't gone bust last year, then the RFL wouldn't have changed their Solvency Ruling. and you would have been out!
And if the Crusaders hadn't withdrawn their application, (as an expansionist club their position was secure), you'd have been out!
So in gratitude, perhaps next years kit will reflect your unexpected good fortune, with a little motif of a dragon on the left chest..... in red obviously

| Quote Uptoncat="Uptoncat"No need to justify anything. Our bid was deemed stronger than both yours and Crusaders. Feel for you guys for getting your hopes up, its the fault of the rfl for keeping you hanging on, they should have said better luck next time when Widnes were awarded a place. I agree our promises must be kept, so must Quins, Cas and Salford. Should they not then you and possibly Leigh and Fev will be banging on the door demanding entry, and rightly so. Its not the fault of Wakey or our chairman, we've done what we needed to do to get our license renewed. People believed the hype created by the media that we were gonners but in true wakey style we bounced back and proved the doubters wrong. You as a club need to carry on building and work on the areas where you failed in your application, remember a license can be revoked at any time and should a club fail to deliver you must be ready to take over their place at the top table. For me you should have come up anyway and the league should have expanded but thats one for another day.'"
Build on what??? we ticked the boxes we needed to tick to be in your league, there is nothing else to work on. |

| Quote faxtastic="faxtastic"Yes but our application is never going to be stronger is it, we dont get as much sky money, '"
And that is where you are fighting the wrong fight. It is illogical that a side with a stronger application should be relegated in favour of a weaker one. That would make the system a joke. Kear made the same point earlier in the season, that they have said that the 14 best applications win but then promised a berth for a championship club, which had no logic to it, because they had no idea if it was one of the best 14 applications.
If, however, you are saying that franchising is skewed in favour of the super league clubs, and that the franchising system is divisive and dysfunctional, to quote someone else, you'll get no argument from me. It has held us back massively in the last eighteen months, because no one would sign for us. JD made the point on Radio Leeds towards the end of last season. |

I think this post pretty much puts the argument put forward by Steel and the odd miffed 'Fax fan to bed |

I suspect that the Halifax Chairman, unlike anyone on here, knows exactly what boxes his club ticked, hence the sense of outrage.
Of course, the RFL could have called a press conference today, and nipped any aggrieved feelings in the bud by explaining their decision, and allowing publication of all Clubs applications.
Did I miss it?

I suspect that the Halifax chairman, like most on here, knows feck all about what boxes WTWRLFC ticked, hence his sense of outrage is misplaced and silly |

Sort your Junior setup out, attract more speccies - If you had been pulling say 4k and had a full u16's - u23's set up then i'm sure you would have beaten us comfortably to the license - especially with your stadium. |

No they wouldnt, because WE went the third last placed franchise, they would have beaten someone else. |

 and you base this on your insider knowledge?
I suspect, that you my friend were so confident that WTWRLFC ticked all the boxes, that your winnings from the bookies will be getting delivered by armoured truck!
No, really. |
