True, if were going down this road we may as well give development clubs 12 point start every game they play.

It is getting that way isn't it

If this rumour turns out to be accurate then the RFL might as well just say that expansion clubs will be in SL as long as they exist and need not apply for a license. It’s out in the open and honest and allows the clubs to focus entirely on development. That way everyone knows where they stand so there should be none of the second guessing that we are witnessing now.

One thing is for sure, such a scenario would certainly get the RFL out of a hole with regards to licensing if all vulnerable clubs delivered on facilities.

Absolute joke, don't how know accurate this article is. 3 names in 3 years, what kind of business is this? What kind of organisation allows such a business to be part of there organisation, only the RFL could! Quote: "SUPER League side Crusaders RL are unlikely to survive a winding-up court date on Tuesday. But rugby league insiders insist Wales will have a team in next year’s Super League – and it will be called ‘The Welsh Crusaders.’'" To think Wakey Cas or Salford could go to make way for these jokers. I hope all the threatened clubs have consulted lawyers on legality of been kicked out when these lot are been kept in.

Looking at it selfishly, if the rumour is true and means that neither us nor Cas gets relegated, then bring it on. Newmarket would definitely be done then and so our future is secure in the long term. Hell, even Glasshoughton might get finished.

There would be no detriment to the lower league clubs, as Crusaders going pop would just answer the relegation question that is vexing us and Cas.

If the Crusaders go into administration, how can they be allowed to continue in SL let alone be gauranteed of the next 3 year licence, when the main reason given to Widnes for their unsuccesful licence bid last time round was the fact that they'd entered administration in 2007?

We all know this but this is the RFL we are talking about.

Yes i agree with you 100% Anything to help our australian "whoops" welsh friends out.

Oh yeah forgot about that.......

Can't see this being true, and even if it was there is almost no chance of the Chairman of SL Clubs voting for this. Why would 13 chairman, of which all bar maybe Hudds, Wire and possibly Hull FC are relying on a set amount of Sky money to get them through the year vote to reduce their share of the pot?

Take out the bit about expanding to 15 clubs and you'll be a lot closer to what is really happening!

Well that's the RFL for you!

I'm guessing the club who loses out is about to get shafted.
