There is nothing intriguing here littlerich. Who is in super league is completely irrelevant.



What is relevant is how the executive board in charge of a sport can make decisions to the detriment of an overwhelmingly large number of people involved in the sport. Even worse, that they think they can lie and cheat to get their way and everything will be ok.



This decision means that clubs in the championship have been dangled a carrot, invested big time, both financially and in good, honest people's time, only for the RFL to know it was pointless all the time but still not say anything. Applying for a licence is expensive - imagine what will happen if a club goes out of business due to spending on a licence application they were never going to get?



It is nothing short of a disgrace that this has happened. A competition that has had all the hallmarks of becoming a competition for clubs becoming feeder clubs for super league has been devalued even more. Maybe that was the plan.



Although Toulouse are involved in this as they didnt reveal the truth, the RFL board should now go. We can no longer trust a board that behaves in such a way and a vote of no confidence has to issued. Difficult, i know, as super league clubs are "alright jack" and happy with their lot and cant see a sport outside of SL. I await to see how the championship clubs respond - it has to be a robust response too. I fear us supporters voting with our feet will only be detriment to the good honest people and clubs involved in OUR sport at this level.



Thank you for listening

A Super League game between two French teams. Doesn't sound right that at all.



Pretty appalling.

It's the EUROPEAN Super League don't forget.

To be fair, a club shouldn't be doing this anyway. It's suicide.

Oh silly me.

Corrected your deliberate mistake for you.

Why do the powers of this great sport continually blow their own feet off!



Completely unbelievable how badly the sport is run, it will be a case study one day "how to badly organise and kill a sport"









Just hope Fax haven't over committed on back of 2012 licence

never saw this coming

Bit worrying isn't it.



Championship!

I would think fax, widnes barrow and leigh have all committed large amounts of cash last season and this on the basis of a SL application that is now dead in the water

over committed only the BOD's know that

I have seen the accounts for last year and there was nothing showing to suggest over committment.

What is the point in having a academy set up and a stadium when rfl are lieing.I really hope sky pull the plug and goes back to the heartlands.I dont care about a french team.Where do the rfl get the money?I glad leeds lost now to the aussies and i dont care about rl wiv them in charge.Bunch of knobbers the RFL.
