Even McF knows Wakey are getting the boot... it is the worst kept secret in RL!

I've been looking for the deleted post, its properly deleted

Really hope Wakefield get one tbh but they have little chance.Crusaders should be gone.

Finally someone points it out, its all the media's fault. Its all a big rouse and a media construct, Belle Vue is on a par with Wembley in real-life.


Did you know Crusaders have never paid any of their players anything? they are definitely bust, they have more debt than the Irish Government. In fact they started in the semi-pro ranks in 2006, by 2007 there was a worldwide banking crisis, coincidence? well ill leave you to make up your own minds but I think it is only the RFL's pride and stubbornness that is keeping Crusaders afloat and as such keeping the world in this extended period of low growth.

The good news for Wakefield is Crusaders actually killed Diana, She was Princess of Wales you see and they wanted to sell her jewels so in the future they could pay Jarrod Sammut. Now, allegedly this was posted on the Wakey board over the weekend after someone at the RFL accidently put it up on the website. Once it was spotted it was taken down but the plan they had to kill Diana which was as fiendish as it was simple, suffice to say it included superglue, a badger and Barry Manilow. This didn't strike me as been an elaborate wind-up and if it was, we all know RL Fans very well, why was it not left? I don't do conspiracy theories, but I smell a rat here! And a Badger!

I don't do conspiracy theories but....

do they actually work

some teams have not made the impact

or do we say have a two teir superleague

So my favourite stalker, you don't think Wakefield's academy set-up is worthy of a green then... is that what you are saying?

You are even more boring and predictable than me... yes, you are that bad!

You are clearly Nigel Wood... he looks like a Smokey and the Bandit fan... conspiracy or FACT... you decide!!!!

What the is a green? Why would they choose to grade them in colours? Not only why, but how could they put this information on their website and not know about it? Why would it exist in that form if it wasnt to be released? Why would they grade Wakefield well in an attempt to 'con' them out of a license? Your conspiracy simply doesnt make sense. There is no rhyme, reason or logic behind it.

And your death riding of another club is pathetic and frankly a bit embarrassing. Hoping Crusaders go bust and mentioning it at every opportunity does you and Wakefield no favors. Calling the other girls fat doesnt make you skinny sweetheart.

Right, I am going to do a SmokeyTA styleeee reply and then call it a day. You sir are a destroyer of threads and it is pointless having a battle of wits with an unarmed man... and finally, no-one on this boards wants this crap but I will reply, you reply again and then you will have the last word!



You understand the principal of a traffic light grading system, many grading system use it because simple people, like you, can understand it. Some clubs alledegly got green, some got amber and some got red... make sense... good!



I didn't say they did not know about it, I intimated that someone had alleged that this information was published on the RFL website and then taken back down when it was spotted. The inference being that some person in the RFL office published probably not realising that it should not be published at all or at least not be published just yet! That is not too hard to pick up from my post is it?



This is my favourite bit. Again, anyone with half a brain cell would understand the alleged inference. They probably got someone/people who actual went and graded the clubs (from the RFL or outside) and they probably did a good honest job and thought that Wakefield system was worthy of a green, in a basic traffic light system of green, amber and red. That is logical is it not? And then would also be quite a problem for the RFL if this information got out just before franchise time and made it look like they were kicking out one of four clubs with a top grade for academy and youth development?

However, these threads have been deleted now and McF says they have been 'proper deleted', so read into that what you will!


You are such a drama queen... death riding!



It is you who 'death rides' Wakefield when anyone questions the Crusaders position over them their long term financial stability with Moss and Roberts in charge and the fact the RFL are owed £700k and the only way they have any hope of getting it back is to take it from their Sky money as agreed... unless of course the University buys the Racecourse and they get their money back that way?

Thank God smokey is here to spam another thread to death, woe betide any genuine debate break out!

I do agree with McF and hope nobody goes to gloat on the Boards of whichever side gets the chop. Regardless of how correctly the decision is made, it will really hurt the fans of that club.

Third'd. I couldn't imagine if it happened to Leeds. Who ever it is I will feel for.

I agree, unless it's Wigan of course

Wow didn't see that one coming!

Bet Wakefield are relieved and thanking their lucky stars that Crusaders withdrew their application!

Will this be the end of Crusaders?

Fire sale expected.
I hear they have an international left centre that might be worth a punt.
Do Wakey have to guarantee they get a new ground or doesn`t that matter anymore?

What's Keith Senior gonna do now, must sign for Wakey surely?

Gutted for Keith, however, this does make his contract void aswell as Michael Witts, Elliott Kear, ETC.

Makes his contract void, so i wouldnt be surprised mate.

Keith is not a happy bunny from his tweets can't blame him either! twitter.com/#!/KeithSenior4

Widnes? If he's already sorted out where he will live in the North Wales area, it wouldn't be that far to travell?

Editted to probably reflect the true situation.

I very much doubt they will form a team for the Championship TBH!

On the ground front, it is very likley that the public inquiry on Newmarket will be positive and either way, the result will be known by March next year. If it is bad news then Wakefield are up the creek big time and will probably be out in three years, but it is very likley to be good news.

Cas are also under the same pressure and to be honest, they would have been with Wakey out as well, so they need to deliver or they both could be out on their ears!

Pinched from the Wakey board:

The licence grades awarded for 2012 to 2014 are as follows (current licence grading in brackets):
B - Bradford Bulls (B)
C - Castleford Tigers (C)
B - Catalan Dragons (C)
C - Harlequins RL (C)
B - Huddersfield Giants (C)
A - Hull FC (A)
B - Hull Kingston Rovers (C)
A - Leeds Rhinos (A)
B - St Helens (B)
C - Salford City Reds (C)
A - Warrington Wolves (A)
C - Wakefield Trinity Wildcats (C)
C - Widnes Vikings (-)
A - Wigan Warriors (B)

Alleged improvements made by Catalans, Hudds, HKR and Pies. Bit surprised Sts' rating hasn't changed, given they're getting a new ground.

I look forward to three more years of promises and excuses coming out of Wakefield.

They'd better hope the backside doesn't drop out of the double glazing and conservatory market in that period.
