Surely you're not questioning the integrity of an organisation known to some as 'The Yorkshire Mafia'?

I'm not accusing you of 'ramblings' just a poorly constructed argument.

The RFL's dealings with the Bulls were ratified by the relevant parties and the clubs had knowledge of this, so in what way were they 'secret'? And how is a club being barred from entry to SL through the franchise process a 'precedent' for a club that goes insolvent in SL (I.e. in completely different circumstances, more akin to say Wakefield, Crusaders or London, all of whom were allowed to continue)?

I'm still struggling to see what you think the 'failings' or the RFL are, or more to the original point, where the evidence of a Yorkshire (or more specifically Leeds) bias is. But that's probably because other than in your head there isn't one.

Secret. See above. Neither the fans nor the media new.



When did London go into administration?

Widnes were told that the administration under previous ownership barred them from membership of SL.

Wakey went into admin and then the next season were given a franchise. Not the best evidence to show there is no W Yorks bias.... but thanks!



Crusaders is an interesting one because the next season they applied for a franchise but then withdrew so we will never know if the RFL would have allowed them to stay in, though they bent over backwards to help them as an expansion club, which I have less of a problem with that the different treatment of established NW and W Yorks clubs.

Oh dear!

No need to repeat yourself Deano, I get it. I see the error of my ways now, and your ramblings, sorry, articulate persuasions, have convinced me that they really are out to get me!

Enjoy the rest of the season and good luck overcoming them terrible odds on Friday-maybe you should have picked us to avoid the Yorkshire Mafia denying you another GF appearance?!?

Thanks, but no.
