Never mind them , Salfords wont be ready

I do hope this has been posted on the VT!

afew of them will be worried! haha

and reading that they should be!

Near the start it says" it`s for promotion and continuous improvment of the standard of rugby league in the UK and the training of young players in each club."
Well if that is the case why are we all spending a fortune on France?

All i can say is, if they stick to what the say about stadiums we should be in, however they need 14 teams so us and one other team out of wakefield, castleford & salford should be in. But somehow i can not see it happening

I like the fact that asking if Halifax will get in is a frequently asked question.

Come on RFL, give the public what they want

That word in there - subjective - means they can put in any club to suit their agenda. Smokey TA is an expert on it - at least he hopes it will get him the highest job!

My take on it is - the top 5 clubs are obvious, the rest all similar, why have us jump through hoops in the futile knowledge that the RFL will "subjectively" build a super league of whoever they want! I suppose it makes the sport vaguely interesting every 3 years - seeing how much the RFL can squirm and put spin on their soul destroying decisions

What about the player strength thing - obviously we do not have any SL pleyers so we will have to be marked down on it, as stupid as that rule seems.
Also, we have not added to SL in recent years so even the worst club in there has better chances than we have.
It's all bollox as we have all said on numerous occasions.
Hopefully though I may be forced to eat my words when we become part of the family.

How can Nigel Wood be deemed impartial when he is ex-Fax CEO?

The simple answer is he can't.

Since leaving fax he has done "bog all" for us and I expect this trend to continue

Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls and other such clubs should have saved themselves some time and just wrote. we are Bradford Bulls in there application and sent it off.

He did us no good when he was here, BLUE SOX. my @rse.

Just had a quick trawl and noticed that Crusaders and Quins don't have much on their forums about franchising but Cas,Wakey, Salford etc. are all talking about it, strange.
WOnder if they don't care or think they are exempt yet again?

Quins and Crusaders don't have any fans to debate it.

Boots n All has seemed to change its tune on it too, quite scathing about some clubs that haven't even had a lick of paint?
Im inclined to think its just lip service though, Terry O'Connor, Bill Arthur and Michael Steele all hinting at what we continue to gripe about.
For me Cas, Crusaders and Quins are in a process with us, Wakey are gone, the others can rest easy, I think it boils down to whether they get tough on Finances or Stadiums.

They RFL can solve the gripes about giving clubs like Halifax a license by putting us in SL. It's a win-win situation for them. If we succeed they can say "great, we were right". If we fail they can say "we gave a club like Fax a try and they failed, therefore we ARE going to be more selective in future" and the conspiracy theorists will be gone.

The ' Scapegoat ' technique , yes we at Leigh know all about that , how many times have we heard the ' SL almost bankrupted Leigh ' bollox , when in fact we broke even in SL

But sad that they are in SL when clubs with fans are not!!!!!

Is anyone else getting even more positive about this decision like me?!

what better way to shake up interest in a sport than a 'massive unexpected announcment!'

Most of the RFL's announcements are unexpected by normal people and Nigel Woods underpants and Richard Lewis's ears are both massive.

Are you suggesting that Mr Lewis is going to come on live telly with Woody's underpants on is head with his ears sticking through the leg holes with the chosen teams written on the front.



Because that would really shake em up, in fact some may never be able to watch tv ever again.



PS. Watching Quins, Crusaders and Salford has a similar effect.
