You can not judge them all equally!
One of the objectives is expansion, and no of the heartland clubs will get "judged" on this!
Its not a competition it is an application for a franchise, and as such the franchiser will pick the teams who he feels best suites his business and its goals.
To put it another way if Wakefield have a great business plan that can be "proven" to be too good to refuse then the RFL would not refuse it, the problem you have is how ever good AGs plans look on paper now, they are just plans and the RFL will have to judge much of your application on history!
One final thought is that the whole process is a calculated risk for the RFL.
