This Thursday the R.L. will decide witch club will get a licence to play in the super leauge next season
The teams are Widnes,Halifax & Barrow.
I think Widnes will get the licence.

Whoever gets demoted in reality will lose players as I assume contracts will be tied to super league status plus unless loaded most will revert to part time so where will this leave the current full time players. As Guess Who says it should have been all dealt with today.

As for Halifax being told to continue with application I believe this is just window dressing to let them down gently. I cannot see 2 clubs being demoted even though it would not bother me.

Weather its Wakey or Cas or both who drop down it will be a long hard road back to SL.
Fans will loose interest,nobody will want to pump money into a club going nowhere for 3 years.

Personally id get shut of Quins and the Crusaders (could this happen?)

I think its an absolute disgrace you need a "rugby league licence" its taken the exciment out of the sport completly SL clubs know they are safe for two years pointless. All this talk about making RL a better sport then they need bog standard relegation and promotion 2 up 2 down simple. Teams will get money for gaining promotion and then they can build their club from there. Not having the right criteria Bol**cks look at belle vue, odsal, the jungle, the willows all grounds that are the same as championship clubs

Rant over sorry it just annoys me that small clubs dont get a chance in the SL

Keko, I agree with you completely, how do you attract new fans to the sport when there doesn't seem to be a realistic and achievable aim, this sport took a turn for the worst when p&r was scrapped in favour of the franchise system, what the hell would those who met in the George that day many years ago think of the sport and how its ran by the rfl today!

Franchise System = The club with the most money wins

why try and hide it?
