They will be giving us a parachute payment this time next year!

I cannot see how the RFL can step into help. You cannot compare WTW's plight to that of Bulls. WTW are not in administration, they are confident of getting out of the mess they are in at the moment by raising cash by lowering the wage bill.
WTW have chosen to go down the route of selling players themselves so why would they ask the RFL to step in to stop other clubs buying their prized assets ?
Its a business decision to save the club and avoid administration and by doing this they will be allowed to compete in SL next year. Administration = no SL 2014. Its the correct decision by DC IMO.

All fair points Tigerade.

It's certainly a catch 22 situation.
If we sell all of our better players, we may avoid administration and be able to play in SL next year. However, without the players we look nailed on to be relegated at the end of next season.
I am not advocating administration but, we look screwed either way.
To coin a phrase used by your avatar, "we're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't".

But,

Go into admin and the RFL may well not let us start the season
or
Sell players and run with a minimal squad and at least we have a (small) chance

Go into admin Trinity will lose the players regardless and the clubs name becomes mud (even more than it already is) with local businesses. Do it this way means at least there is a chance the new BoD can salvage a little confidence from the business world towards Trinity.
