Quote: Chris Dalton "The backlash against us has already started, and can I remind every one of the whingers it is not our fault? None of this is. We don't control the RFL, I think that much has been obvious over the years. Direct your criticism to the right people and leave us out of it.'"
To be fair, there's been a similar backlash from Widnes fans against Celtic.
I don't think anyone would have batted an eyelid if the RFL just came out and said Widnes are the only Championship club that they will consider for a franchise, rather than setting criteria retrospectively.
Given that it's been pretty obvious for a while that you would be getting a franchise this time round, why didn't they just give you a franchise last time?!
