Brilliant.

The RFL have yet to sit down with most Clubs and go through it a bit more, yet within hours of the decision numerous people are suddenly 'in the know' and have had access to the documents and have assessed every detail of every application.

Some people really do believe the stuff they type.

To be frank taffy your timing is crap, as I really dont give a rats ass for all the speculation and justfiying of the rfl decision to give Wakey a license. All who can see and read can spot the huge gaping holes in their bid and the 'flexible rules' the rfl apply. Not saying ours was perfect, but we did what was asked of us. Now i'm not bitter towards Wakey or any other club, but give us time to grieve at rfl injustices before coming on here with this type of sheeite.

No, it really isn't, is it?

Wakefield area (i.e. inc. Cas), pretty much dominate schools RL. For example, Outwood are about to win the National schools cup for a record 3rd year on the trot for a single age group.

I'm sure the Calderdale amateur clubs win everything...in Calderdale.

Yes a very feeble argument - See Cardinal Newman from Warrington - 5 years I believe.

Fact is that even with an old ground in need of work, and going into administration wakefield were still deemed to have a much better application otherwise Halifax would have been in......simples.

I dont think any halifax fans actually expected to get in really.
Would there have been the same reaction if crusaders were in and wakey out ?

they didnt fulfil there promices from last time did they??? NO

Did we??? Yes

the only things they do better with are down to the Sky money they get. they are not that well supported, we got more in than they did when we were both in Super League apart from the awful season.

so explain how was there bid better????

sorry if i offended missionary , not my intention , just my view on some harsh but seemingly unmerited criticism of Wakey . I am quite open about my support of Cas and so i have no 'foot' in the wakey camp , and i understand your frustration , we felt the same when we were relegated under p&r system , despite finishing above Catalan , and i guess with this in mind maybe I shouldn't have posted as you are all bound to feel upset , and for that I genuinely apologise , and I can understand your annoyance with RFL

i only have detailed knowledge of one age group, as it is a group i regularly watch.
yorkshire champions u16 siddal
yorkshire champions u18 siddal
national cup semi final u16 king cross park (missed out on a last play try)
national school champs last 2 years brooksbank u15s ( in final again this year)
national school final this year brooksbank year 7s.
every single one of these players is from halifax.
players snapped up by bradford bulls in u16s this year alone- 6 (of which i know)
halifax players playing for england at u16s- 4, one of which captained the team.
many more players have signed at other teams, mainly from siddal and king cross park amateur clubs, siddal being arguably the best amateur team in the country(open age)

do not tell me that any area in the country produces better rl talent year after year than halifax.

Great post. Some people can quite ignore true fact even when it's put in front of them. The true part about all of this is, a lot of us do get out there at grass roots and actually watch games, we'll be able to do it all year round in the very near future too.
