Take your pick : Mon Jul 25, 2011 5:12 pm  

Tomorrow at 11am the rfl will announce at a press conference being held in a phone box who has got a franchise for next 3 years in super league. Not sure if on tv I assume it will be on somewhere probably on look north or calendar.

Which do you want to lose out if any.
Personally I would like to see Harlequins lose out because under various nanes over the years they are no better now than they were. I know this will not happen but there comes a time to say it has not really done as hoped, this is not anti expansionism (not sure if this is a word or not).

Crusaders have been lucky the fact the rfl want expansion at any cost hs been their saving grace.

So it looks like Wakey or Cas are the 2 under most pressure. If it was based largely on state of grounds the odsal tip would put bulls at risk.

This has got nothing to do with the franchise system.
They have been losing money hand over fist.

So much for expanding the game.

I'm guessing bang goes our pre-season friendly for next season.

Assuming this was not an overnight decision by the Crusaders board, how the hell could they sign Kevin Senior he must be cheesed off.

With Crusaders withdrawing I hope and assume any parachute payment that would have been given to the relegated team is not given to them.
