Erm...sorry, help me out here, in my hand book I'm really struggling to find the franchise points awarded for "proximity to Manchester"???
Why on Earth would the RFL drop Wakey and Cas, who are considerably more successful on the pitch than Salford and who currently sit 1&2 in the under 18's league????
You need to do better than "Salford - we're near Manchester!".
