Moreso that Davy coerces Hetherington, Pearson, Hudgell and Glover to do something they actually oppose. then on top of this Wood Watkins Stott and Morrow are also bounced by the fearsome McManus - Davy axis. Such a sugestion is SLE for dummies.
The core concern maybe should be that the overwhelming majority of SL clubs believe the Bulls should not be allowed into SL in 2013 AND no SL clubs actively oppose this position (even clubs who have publicly supported the bulls
). This gives the RFL executive the confidence to reject spurious offers.

I will make this even clearer, for the hard of reading, Huddersfield are the most vociferous of all member clubs at this present time as to not wanting Bradford Bulls to be granted Super League status beyond 2012. It's no more complex than that. Their levels of influence, remains to be determined, along with St Helens'. Theory dictates one vote. In practice, influence, another.

Let's see what today brings. The show ain't over...
