The management then made some rule changes that were voted on en bloc:
(cant remember all of them)

Oulton A - FOR 24, AGAINST 30,
East Leeds A- FOR 21, AGAINST 33,

So as we know Hunslet Warriors and Queens are two quality sides, Is it a genuine fear from the Penine Clubs of allowing these top teams in?, Fair enough with Queens and there problems but the Hunslet Warriors have more than cleaned up there act...
