Quote Bonita Red="Bonita Red"Of course we deserve a franchise.
The teams form is irrelevant,otherwise every season would see the worst performing team excluded from the competition.
This should not even be a discussion thread,its an insult to those who are putting in so much effort.
And,the stadium would not have started unless we'd been given a steer that we are in next season.
How about some positive comments.'"
I believe that would be called relegation?
And I couldn't agree more. Form is pretty much irrelevant.
Clubs are assessed on criteria in 5 key areas:
a. Commercial, Marketing, Media and Community.
b. Facilities.
c. Finance.
d. Governance and Business Management.
e. Playing Strength and Player Performance Strategy.
Clubs that meet all of the A Grade criteria across the 5 areas will be awarded an A Grade licence. Clubs that materially meet all the A Grade criteria and/or satisfy the RFL that they will meet the criteria in the next round of licensing will be awarded a B Grade licence.Â
You'll notice "e" further down on the list. We will be awarded a B grade license at very least.
I suggest folk do there homework or concentrate on over throwing SM before starting silly posts.
