This is you when you heard the rumour

Dear RFL
We are in a 'bit of bother' financially and need new investment could you kindly pretty please (with little bells on) get us some new investors.

Signed


Ther you go all the other RFL clubs can copy and paste the above and send to Red Hall, after all we know they can work wonders

If they are in it for the long haul? I wonder if they will be exempt from the next round of franchises due to the "Economic" climate?

RFL = Rugby For Losers!

It's disgraceful and embarassing now. The participants of a sport being decided by people who just pop in who they fancy? Hope there are some supporters of the idea feeling rather sheepish now.

All joking aside, this can no longer be brushed under the carpet. Now it's the open it's strangling our game with embarassment. Something must be done - it's all like some bad comedy sketch now

Being an extremely grumpy, cynical, M62-corridor Luddite, I can't help thinking the licence criteria will change significantly, because of the 'Economic Climate'!

(and before anyone screams 'jealousy', I personally didn't believe that my club deserved a franchise last time, or that they have yet done anything to change my viewpoint)
