But it is ok for an established club to take the playing staff/coaches from an expansion club and for them to receive a fee for doing it?
The RFL have a history of making unpopular decisions but don't forget that it isn't always in the favour of expansion as much as it sometimes seem that way.
BTW FC fans this is in no way a dig at you i'm just making the counter arguement.

And all the cash handouts from the RFL at the detriment of real rugby league teams ............. remember blackpool ???

the expansion joke is a disgrace

Yes I do I also remember Hull FC and Huddersfield as well do you?

yep another 2 disgraces that should be expelled from the top league, and these clowns dont believe its bent...............................................lol

I wouldn't call it bent more like consistant.
Both FC and Hudds are heartland but favoured.
Crusadres are expansion but favoured not a lot of diffrence.

There were 5 clubs involved in those mergers, people should do their homework.

Where have I said there wasn't?
Does that make my point any less valid?

The club that got the best deal is the 5th, and is never mentioned Why are the other 2 or 4 a disgrace?
