Fair play to Harry, he had an interview lined up with Wood, and he bottled it, so gave the pleasure of public speaking to his erand boy Ralph Rimmer.

"oh you do it Ralph!!! pleeeeeease, i dont want to face big bad Harry!"

you can imagine it happening!

iv been following Harrys twitter, and he said he was going to ask some probing questions for Fax fans, which i thought he did..

[size=150well done Harry![/size good try, but still no answers as to why we didnt get in before a club thats already nearly been bust this year with below par facilities.

you cant put it simpler than

"what is the reason why Halifax didnt get in?"

silence from Rimmer, embarassing!

He kept saying he couldnt say until he had informed the club of the reasons but earlier in the interview said that he had already done this. Buffoons the lot of them.

Credit to Harry Gration, preety much slagged Wood off for backing out and said a lot of positives about Fax on his Twitter on in the show.

Nothing more Harry could have done. It's clear the RFL are all over the place and just remaining tight lipped.

Ralph probably hasn't been told what to say yet.....and it differs from day to day.

Franchising is dead today, everything we suspected is confirmed, the criteria and process does not exist. They make it up.

" so are you saying that Halifax are not good enough?"

classic!!! if i wasnt so angry i think i would have wet myself!

even to that, silence......or some BS about informing the club before they go public. Well whatever they have told the club it doesnt seem to have washed with our chairman looking at hi statement!

a discrase to the thousands of no nonence, hard as nails, under payed RL players from the sports history!

very good interview from Harry - nailed Rimmer good and proper

Similar to the nailing Ralph Rimming took earlier from Mr Wood allegedly!!

will this be repeated or is it viewable online?

Not viewable to after the watershed i'm afraid

we should have gone over with Harry,

taken Aizue over feeding him on raw meat and realeased him on Rimmer!

I was actualy quite surprised with Harry tonight. Rimmer definitely uncomfortable wasn't he ?

too right, i didnt think Harry had it in him!

squirming wasnt he, still what good is it, unless we can continue with the public airing of what a complete shambles the RFL have made RL in this country!

Uncomfortable and evasive. Just what you'd expect from the RFL

You were robbed today people. It'll be interesting to hear what the RFL's reasons are for their decision.

"Halifax have a long and proud tradition in the sport of Rugby League. In the last round of franchises Halifax were told to improve their youth system and improve their stadium facilities as well as continuing to operate a sound financial business. We aplaud Halifax for doing all that was asked of them and succeeding in these areas but unfortunatley this time their application was unsuccesful. We have advised Halifax of the areas they need to improve for next time which include continuing to develop their youth system, improving their ability to say jump whenever the RFL ask them to, developing more young players to donate to the current SL clubs and also lending the Shay stadium to any SL club that wishes to use it when ever they please. A small donation will also be required for the expand RL fund to get the Crusaders back where they belong. On top of that all of the board members will be required to bend over in front of Nigel Wood and Richard Lewis when they attend the Shay so that they can screw them good and proper. As a good will gesture the two will allow the use of lube if said members so desire"

Complete garbage, lies lies and more lies.

































They would never offer lube!!

Well done Look North for making the RFL squirm and put our case, thanks.
I have sent a text message to say that too.

I shall have to retract my previous evaluation of Gration's character the next time I see Christa!

They are even caught in the lie.
During the interview Harry asked Rimmer why Halifax had not been allowed in.

Rimmer resonded by saying he was not going to comment on that publicly untill he had spoken to the club.

Harry pressed and said well the fans want to know what are the reasons when will you be speaking to Halifax.

Rimmer then said that he had spoken to Tony Abbott within 30 minutes of the announcment.

Had he spoken to the club or not because in one breath he won't say anything untill he has and in the next he says he spoke to them within 30 minutes.

He can't even get through a 90 second interview without contridicting himself.

wonder if there is follow up news tomorrow from the bbc - finally something to look forward to?

I wouldn`t trust Rimmer or anything he says he sold his own Club down the river. I once queeried him about it and he said he believed in franchise and why SheffHudd did not work was because the Sheffield fans would not travel to Huddersfield to watch their team play.
GET REAL MR RIMMER WHY THE DEVIL SHOULD THEY HAVE DOENE?

Presume Harry's contract to host the Super League Show won't be renewed after this.

I thought Rimmer fielded the questions very well.

He said Fax's application wasn't good enough. What more can he say ?

No he did not, the question was was Halifax's application not good enough and after a moment for thought the reply was "it was not as good as the others"
Don't twist words to satisfy your constant anti Fax comments, you don't work for the RFL do you by any chance.

It wasn't as good as the others = It was the worst.

That's not good enough.

Talk sense.
