Thanks HG, now my other question if they hadnt withdrew where the RFL going to kick Wakefield out? If that answer is yes then they still should have and allowed Fax the chance!
Im chuffed for Wakefield I really am but the principles of the RFL are looking very flawed indeed!
Maybe the franchise system needs looking into a bit better, I mean Richard Lewis' opening speech was pretty good and some of his reasonings as to how the choices where made where good 1 was very questionable, cant remember the name but a big building firm to look at stadia and plans for new stadia to give rfl advice on how good it is and the facilities it can offer "excellent" KPMG to look at every clubs last filed accounts and advise the rfl on how they look financially "excellent" Leeds Met Uni to look at how the clubs are run as businesses "what! Are you having a laugh, Lord Sugar, James Dyson, Richard Branson yes but Leeds Met Uni my god rfl what where you thinking!?"
Would it be fair to go back to a promo/relegate dogfight, maybe?!?
I think maybe a good way would be to have promo and relegation however 2 teams up 2 teams down every 3 years, it could work like this over the 3 terms all points are added together for the purposes of promo/relegation the 2 lowest teams of SL go down the 2 highest of co-op champ come up! That way teams still have a 3year building period rather than the 12month short sightedness, it would also ensure consistency because over 3years consistently low teams would go down and consistently high teams would come up!
What does everyone think?
