Its my understanding that Saville's assessment is to Grade clubs as A, B or C. The A and B Clubs are in and then the RFL then decide who of the C Clubs should be in.

If Crusaders are a C and are then assessed fairly against us then we must have the better bid.

I've been saying it for months - this is not the foregone conclusion most of you think it is. We are still in it and we only have a week to wait now. Keep positive.

isn'y that link from 2008?

Totally agree the negativity among some of us is unbelieveable ... People forget we are the Mighty Trin !

that link is very old. however thanks for the draw to the site, just read this which summed up the press conference where we'll be given the elbow, from the look of the picture it appears to have been written by a rovers fan.

[iThis'll be much more thrilling than some silly relegation clash played before a packed house with everything on the line.

Much better to work it out on pieces of paper and then announce it at a press conference. That's passionate sport for you.

Deciding who's in and who's not by playing a rugby league match is just sooooo passé.[/i

i think he has got it spot on. i think we have a better case than harlequins or crusaders, and probably cas too. however the criteria are not open, and crusaders have nothing to fear.

The "Mighty Trin" we maybe but a fashionable club with a big shiney ground and fantastic top of salary cap players we are not!
the RFL dont want us end of.

As a betting man Id go

1/3 We get kicked out
9/4 We get a franchise.

Can anyone remember who the "C" clubs were last time around and which of them may have an improved bid ?

Cas, Salford, Wakefield, Crusaders and possibly Quins were C

Salford have the new stadium & more juniors
Cas have more juniors and (somehow) added 250 onto the capacity making it 12,000 and the contribution to the competition check (supposedly last time they were 1 mark off a B so adding 2 SHOULD make them safe)
Crusaders have gone backwards dramatically
Quins have more juniors and an all round better youth setup
Wakefield have a top youth setup & community links

So when you look at it like that, the only team that should be gone are the Crusaders as everyone has moved forwards except them.

Huddersfield
Catalans
Trinity
Castleford
Widnes
Crusaders
London
Featherstone
Halifax
Salford
Leigh
Toulouse?

Out of those I think theres only Huddersfield who may have moved up to a B grade.

Surprised they were a C last time! Just goes to show a stadium isn't everything doesn't it.

But since then they've made massive leaps and may even be bordering A.

How Hull KR aren't a C is beyond me too.
