| I see Matt Calland has taken a pay cut for next year.Seems that if Fax did not win the Grand Final, they be in the red now. 
To be honest Fax could be weaker next season, as will have to spend on a Youth set up.I feel confident we will be a strong team next year. |

According to that criteria, they've sent out application forms when in reality only Widnes are eligible to apply even going down to just point B. Don't forget the changes to the by-laws that foreign clubs can also be invited to apply even if they don't satisfy on-field criteria. Still, if there is any substance in the criteria etc then you're deservedly a shoe-in.

This is not true Matt and has been confirmed numerous times over the last 2/3 months. Toulouse cannot apply and have no desire to. |

Will bow to your greater knowledge in that case but I'm sure there was an amendment made to the RFL by-laws? |

There was an 'invite' criteria but it's not in this statement that directly refers too the Guranteed Championship place! I feel Toulouse maybe invited to apply for the 'july bids'!

I'm not sure I will celebrate any club like Fax being in trouble financially now or ever.

Just remember to take everything the RFL says with a huge pinch of salt - I think the last 'round' of applications should have taught us that. |

Exactly my thoughts. Everyone thinks we're a shoe in, everyone thinks the criteria were somehow designed to suit us even though they are based on fundamental requirements for any successful club - crowds, finances etc and areas we are ahead in.
Everyone thinks that, yet I still wont believe we are a shoe in. I simply don't trust the RFL. |
