but not Halifax if rumours are true...

What do Featherstone have to do ?

... but if Bradford have to start all over again surely they should do so from the bottom (i.e. Championship One)?* ... just as the Crusaders had to do this year.

*I realise this is pure fantasy on my part and the Rugby League will as usual make the rules up as they go along.

We wait and see--- the RL works in mysterious circles.

All what will happen is that they will get 4 points deduction just like Crusaders and Wakefield did. End of story !!

its the tip of a very large iceberg im afraid. Im hearing Salford are hand to mouth and Cas owe Jack Fulton 2 mill.God knows what would happen if Sky ever pulled the plug.The bottom line is SL clubs are paying ridiculous contracts to some average players and it will all end in tears.Maybe then Championship Clubs will rise once again to their former glories on a more level playing field.

The biggest problem is the RFL are p*ss poor at selling & growing our great sport! Meaning advertising, sponsorship, TV deals are for thousands not millions.

The RFU can get Aviva to pay 4 million a year for naming rights for a sport that is poorly followed at club level, and is always behind league in sky viewing figures. The RFL get a 'free sponsorship' deal from stobart or a peanuts deal from betfair.
