Let's turn this into a positive.
Ok, the RL Express 'funny' pic and Sadlers apology was a disgrace and someone should get their backside kicked, but for the rest of the licence 'campaign' I can only see the paper saying nice bias things about Wildcats.
Sadler has been quite supportive so far about the Wildcats and he will now want to correct the error of his ways.

Isn't Sadler a Wakefield fan anyway?

yes he is

I can see that what he was trying to do but he's cocked up

if wants to have a pop at the RFL then he should just rip into them instead of a stupid bubble that can be interpreted both ways

yey a day out in dewsbury and batley i shall put that those in my diary .

I have had a quick flick through RL express today as i expected to see an apology for you guys this week however couldn't find anything. Has anyone spotted anything I may just have missed it?

I know an expanation has been given to you however it would be nice to see a full apology in the paper just to make the whole RL Express readership aware of their error

I couldn't see anything either.

Nothing!!!!

I'd forgotten all about this. Maybe the paranoid amongst us should do the same too. It was a joke, one which obviously some didn't find funny, but nothing worth getting so upset about.

for gawwwds sake , a lot worse get posted on these very boards ...

sadler should not of apologised and why as the k f c kid got an issue with batley n dewsbury now?

Totally, if we loose our franchise, games against Batley and Dewsbury will be great games for us

As much as I thought this caption was a PI$$ take out of the RFL and the franchise "carry on", and to a fair extent, can see the funny side, I still think the Lge Exp should have made this clear to a lot more of it's readers that the irony was lost on.
To some it could definitely be interpreted as media exeptence of our plight, and that goes against everything we are fighting against.

It appears he thinks those clubs are below him and not worth his time or money to go support your club watching them against such "lowly" clubs as Batley & Dewsbury.

As for the picture, it was a general swipe at the whole license process and in the bit on the front inside page today about Cas they have another go at the process. So at a guess I'd say the RL Express doesn't like the franchise process in its current guise.
