We have grounds for protest if we can prove that our application is better than certain other clubs who will in all probability remain in Super League.

So have Crusaders!

Yes but we know they are a protected species. They could commit mass murder at every home game (well ok, not that 'mass') and still be the blue eyed boys. It would be a waste of time and achieved nothing but antagonise the corrupt RFL even more, costing us next time round. Widnes showed how to play it last time.

So we have grounds then, SIMPLE question.

If you never want to get back in, then go for your life, protest.

Is this fact or rumour regarding the Crusaders players not being paid?

Also how will you prove our application is better than others? The RFL aren't going to publish any of the applications and I doubt any one on here has seen ours. What will be will be all that is important is for us to carry on supporting our team and showin AG that we are a club worth holding on to and that we can have a very bright future under his reign.

So you agree we do have grounds, thats a quick turn around.

Probably a bit of both. I know of a Cru player who hasnt been paid on time in the past. I remember Youngquest tweeting at beginning of season that the club are a joke and don't deserve to be operating as they still owed him money from last season. I don't think he'd tweet that if it wasn't true as it could have very serious repercussions

This is RLfans so its both fact and rumour

Depends in what context. Ours won't be the worst SL app. But neither have we done everything that is required. If it was an even contest then we would have grounds but we knew at the start it wasn't and that Crusaders and Quins have a different set of rules to abide by. So take them out of the equation and we are left up against Cas. So overall one of us has to go and their isn't really grounds for a protest because we haven't done what we had to.

I agree theboyem but neither have cas. For me it should either be both out or both stay under the provision that ground is made re grounds within a twelve month period, if not then you're out to be replaced by Fax/Leigh

heARD ONE DEFO NOT PAID FOR 3 MONTHS

I'd imagine it won't be just one, if one doesn't get paid then the rest probably won't. Probably explains the disciplinary issues if true

Sounds fair enough to me.

AG has stated he has a 10 year plan which will improve us and make us successful in every area so he is in for the long haul

Harry Hill yes I'll put the gloves on

seriously the RFL could be open to a regal battle

would like to hear it

All we should do is try our best before the decision.
Waste of time and effort protesting after the decision. Will just make us look pathetic.

That's how I see it - a protest would do us no favours at all.

HEAR HEAR. Mine will go. It's their agenda, their fault. 5000 Trinity members plus floating support..won't bring BskyB down but it sends a message..one which would get me kicked off here if I spelt out how I feel about the hijacking of RL by this lot at BskyB and The RFL. I am disgusted by franchising to be honest and very disappointed that the RL family (joke now) isnt too.
Just reading Foxy's biography...when we had a sport, not just a business plan

Any protest would be comparable to some of the cringeworthy threads, being started by some Wakefield supporters, on the VT over the last few weeks.
It's embarassing to read some of the pathetic whineing.

Yes agree, we must fight as hard as we can but don't lower ourselves, to anything like protesting.

Agreed. In theory it might sound like a good idea but in practise when only 50 people (and a dog) turn up it would just look embarrassing.

Again fully agree. Even if the whinge was justifyed its unlikely that Trinity would get any empathy on there.
