We're used to capitulation in the second half of the season. Can't blame us for enjoying times of good form when we can!

I do hope the RFL seriously consider Fax in July. If they don't they will once again make it clear that on the field success is irrelevant in the franchise system. With off the field boxes ticked, and the most consistent performers over the last 3 years they have to be considered.

Of course they will , and they will be ' gushing ' in their praise of your improvements , and will leave veiled hints to keep you interested for another three years , before they put Toulouse in in 2014 when Crusaders go tits up

Have you heard of the 'not trying to drum up RFL anger at every decision they make on said clubs board and the VT' Theory.

Thats true, they hold all the aces its total domination by the Fat Controller and I thought the Iron Curtain had come down years ago but it survives, in the world of RL.
Thats one of the reasons why I hate this process, too much power is in the hands of a few, upset them and you have no chance.

I would love to be able to do like Councils have to allow a Freedom of Information request on the RFL.
That would open up a pandoras box of tricks wouldn't it???
Like how much do you pay Crusaders Nigel???

Do you have a real chance in July ? , or are the RFL using you to positively ' spin ' what will be a funeral ?

We all really hope not BUT as you say this may be a way of throwing us a few crumbs and keeping us at bay as really we should be in SL in July based on the FACTS which are:-

Cas, Wakey and Salford all do not have a ground that is good enough to meet the SL criteria of today, not in 2 years time.

No John , as much as we were unfairly treated , two wrongs don't make a right , Salford will play at Barton in the 2012 season , to ignore that fact would be childish , IMO of course
