From BBC.co.uk

Quote: "In light of the Crusaders administration the RFL are set to announce that the 2012 licence system is to postponed until 2015 so the current 14 SL clubs can stabilise.

Fear that Cas or Wakey would take RFL to court if they lost their licence ahead of Crusaders has seen the RFL backdown.

The RFL are keen to see the Welsh team stay in the elite division so it seems sensible that this postponement happens.

Fev and Batley have already withdrawn their applications upon being told while other clubs speak to the legal representitives.

It is thought Widnes are very angry at the news but at end of the day it does seem that the RFL have taken the sensible decision in the current financial climate.

Reports in todays Yorkshire Sport and several other papers say the RFL will allow all the clubs who have qualified to apply in 2012 will all be able to apply in 2015. '"


Not a surprise at all. I can't see Steve O'Connor sticking about if true!

Tbh mate no, but as is mentioned on your board we could jointly (+ Barrow?) sue them equally!

I get the feeling the RFL has made too many promises to various clubs this time, I.e. Achieve X, Y & Z and your up / safe. The only credible option would be to swap Widnes & Crusaders and let them build a WELSH club in the Championship, unfortunately though that is seemingly the least likely option (no surprise there).

I would welcome legal action, if only to see the RFL attempt to justify their decisions and the language in the documents they have released. For the welsh team, I think letting them 'build' in the Championship would just end up the same as last time. A load of quota exemptions and their own salary cap which would lead to them signing a load of has been Aussies.

Could this be the start of the much vaunted revolution that some people are desperate for.
You could see Widnes with maybe Fax and Barrow taking legal action. The RFL threatning exemption from their competition if they proceed and maybe Leigh jumping in alongside ourselves to form a breakaway..


Or


SOC would simply walk away having learnt a very valuable lesson about a group of men with no integrity whatsoever.

It doesn't suit us at all. Connecting our club to this sham serves only the RFL, and I sincerely doubt even they would resort to this.

I agree with vikings fan.I rather Widnes fold than to be an expansion and play in Wrexham.I do not go to watch Widnes rugby union so if Rfl lose the heartland teams, rugby league will die.I am based in Gloucester and would start watching union and football.To be honest this is all rumours and we will all hear more bull, from now till franchise time.Alot of these rumours spread come from fans from clubs in danger such as Cas,Wakey etc.To be honest i am laughing at all this bollox.
