Thanks for that. We'll see what we can do 
Regarding the salary cap. Getting Championship clubs to vote for the reduction was bound to get a positive vote. The poorer supported clubs are always going to vote 'for' as it brings the better-off clubs down to their level by decreasing their player spend. Say Widnes had a turnover of £2M, then what are they supposed to do with the hundreds of thousands they can't spend on players ?? |

Quite.

But use it on stadium and youth development to tick even more of those precious(? or not ?) boxes!

Don't think we would use it on the stadium.. it's only recently been updated to the tune of £1million pounds. Can't see it needing anything for quite a while yet. It's still one of the premier purpose built stadiums in the sport.

We're putting so much effort and time and money into this bid and does anyone else feel the "trustworthy" RFL will just in the end promote who the hell they feel like and disregard all this?
I can't begin to trust them. It'd save us so much time, effort and money to tell us now if that is the case.

That's exactly what will happen. Forget all the criteria bollox, that only applies to heartland clubs anyway. They'll put in who they want, as they did last time.
I still think Widnes are in poll position and it will be very difficult for even the RFL to come up with an excuse to turn us down next time, if we carry on the way we are. We do need to remain competitive though, and another trophy next season should do the trick. |

Halifax and Whitehaven boards are a bit of a joke for ref bashing after a defeat. Even when the ref has actually done everything in his power to give them the game, as Ronnie Laughton did in the Halifax NRC semi-final against us. He gave them 3 trys that should never have even been considered, and actually over-rued a linesman who was in a much better position, and they still whinge about it!!!! |
