Quote ="cocker"Then surely there is no reason why the RFL do not come straight out with the announcement that the Quins/Cru are exempt!!! I know what the franchising is all about as well as everyone else, but from a legal point of view unless these clubs are known to be exempt then everyone needs to be judged equally...you can't have it both ways!!!'"
Well I can understand that, but they are not exempt as such, and need to feel that they have to improve standards also! however their development status will out way other criteria should push come to shove!
Having said that, I would still not be suprised to see the crusaders go this time! Due to it being unsustainable and it also making the process seem more fair to people!!!
