2012, 2013, 2014 = three years/seasons.
Who were the A grade licences? I can't access all websites at work to check, but I assume us, Wigan, Leeds and Hull FC?'" Correct:
4 Grade A licences: Hull FC, Leeds, Wire, Wigan.
5 Grade B: Bulls ,Catalan, Hudds, Saints, HKR.
5 Grade C: Cas, Quins, Salford, Wakey, Widnes
The three years aren't guaranteed either:
"However, for those who are successful, their inclusion will no longer be guaranteed.
For instance, a club which enters administration or fails to deliver tangible proof of improving their stadium facility, could see their licence over-turned at the end of any of the next three seasons if there is a suitable candidate to emerge in their place from the Championship".
