That article reads... Cas are doing too well right now to kick them out, see how they go on in 18 months. If they are struggling and nowhere with stadium then we bring in Halifax to fulfill the other 18 months. Sounds a bit far fetched to me that one.

It seems more people are infact peeved with the RFL, infact my OP was more a dig at the RFL and why the club, who find out a decision that could be up there in the clubs history, dont feel there is any point marketing it. Obviously the question about MC is legit and probably what most people want to know.

Jeez anyone would think the announcement had been already made going by the finger pointing and hand wringing. Why dont you just wait and see first before starting the post mortem.

I certainly don't have anything against our B.O.D. !!!
It's the RFL who are at fault and playing an equal role are the greedy SL clubs who are snaffling up the lions share of funding and raping districts such as ours of their richest junior talents.

Love the dig by Michael Steele here:-

"In terms of going into Super League next year, I am not particularly expecting good news today.

“The RFL have already made it very clear that the experiment of expansion, if that’s what you want to call it, will continue and that neither of the expansion clubs, Crusaders or Harlequins, are in any danger of dropping out.

And we thought every club was going to be judgeg by the same rules.

Great if we are put on stand by. Oh Halifax yes, they meet all the criteria but we thought that it would be better to give teams like Cas, whos ground isnt up to scratch even after the promises they made last time, Crusaders, who get by on RFL handouts, and Quinns, who get crowds that would be the envy of NL2, should all be given more time rather than put a team in who could actually add something to SL given the opportunity.

Really ? Why doesn't he accept what everyone else already knows, or does he walk around with his eyes & ears shut ?
