[quote="littlerich"]With regards to Castleford I like the fact that not many are tipping them to get booted. I'd like to think that it's because they're currently undefeated this year in SL. Can you imagine if it WAS them in the frame - given their current position? I bet the RFL are thanking their lucky stars that Wakey have made a right cock up of everything too because their league positions in recent years has also been quite good.
You can bet your life that the RFL will never put themselves in that position again - guaranteeing a Champ club a place.[/quote]
Yep , once bitten twice shy , i'd suggest that is the reason Steve Parkin , a bloke worth 150 million pulled out of his interest in buying Wakey after a meeting with the RFL , it is doubtful he could have convinced the RFL to keep them up this time , but with no guarantee next time , he would have been buying a Championship club ad finitum , and the RFL want us to find ' Investement '
