Quote Frosty="Frosty"Did anyone else get the impression that it all seem a bit last minute, i watched it live and when announcing the 'C' grades Richard Lewis kept looking to the side as if he was getting his cues from off stage, i wonder when Crusaders actually withdrew their application?'"
Very interesting interview with Richard Lewis on 5 Live at 1.30.
Points that came out were:
there has been a dialogue between clubs tendering and the RFL throughout the licensing process;
nothing conclusive had been done until this week;
Crusaders withdrew their application yesterday (Monday);
Wakefield's application was better than Halifax's which is why Wakey stay in.
All of these things were said directly and not alluded to, the last one in direct response to a text from a listener bemoaning Wakefield's continued residence in SL.
Dunno if they will put it up on the 5 Live website or the BBC RL page. Doesn't seem to be there yet.
