I think one great outcome of these awards will be the impact on our next licence bid. Clearly our club is perceived by the RFL as being more than just a pretty stadium. Our coaches, players and development are now being recognised as having quality.

agree, would have to be a massive fall from grace to go from club of the year 2009 to not getting a license in the next round of bids for super league!!

I don't think even the RFL would be so stupid as to deny a license to a club that plays decent rugby in a decent stadium in the birthplace of RL - unless they want an Irish expansion project!!

I wish I felt as secure as you should feel!

You could write your bid on a napkin - so could Saints, Leeds, Wigan, Warrington, Harlequins, The Hulls and Bradford. The rest will have to hand something in that's leather bound.

I dont think Les Cats have much to worry about either.
