From the RFL...



Wakefield Trinity Wildcats



Wakefield Trinity Wildcats’ application confirmed that new ownership has injected enthusiasm, capital and business acumen into the club. The business plan provided achievable targets for growing the business, and a realistic strategy to reach these targets. Wakefield’s performance on the field and player supply across the current Licence period has been acceptable and their community programme is excellent. However commercial, financial and governance performance in this Licence period has been poor, with the club entering administration in February of 2011. The club continues to face a number of challenges. The stadium position is uncertain, and the significant challenge for the club will be to deliver the commercial and supporter growth required to allow the club to trade in a sustainable manner whilst improving competitiveness on the pitch. Grade C.

The Halifax summary is stinging, its a shame they didn't release this when he was moaning on every tv screen in the land.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, and this, along with the Crusaders implosion, has definitely saved the club.



[iHalifax RLFC



Halifax RLFC submitted an application with insufficient detail in their marketing, media or commercial plans. The club business plan was inadequate, figures presented by the club as the budget and performance forecasts for the 2012-14 Licence period were speculative and the club did not provide sufficient information for KPMG to complete their assessment procedures. Whilst the club has an excellent community program, a good facility and has recently strengthened its Board and player performance system, the club fell below the standards expected of a Super League club. Grade C.[/i



From the write ups it’s hard to see which other club Trinity could’ve finished above, which was insinuated on here.

Right let me see, dum dee dum......copy and paste to Halifax winging chairman.

Maybe now we'll get an apology!



I won't hold my breath.

Castleford at least, from their write up it looks as though everything was pinned on a new stadium and very little on the here & now!

Shame we can't see the Crusaders one.

We'll never know whether we were better or not. Just down to the hacks making a blind judgement in the press.

What!!!

Read the summary!



Oh and...

Seems fairly obvious to me - put your thinking head on Wurzel

By eck it did'nt take you long!!!

Fish in a barrel springs to mind

Nah! The Clan does indeed believe it.

You've got no idea what I believe.

Having read all the summaries they told us nothing that we didn't already know.



One thing that did stand out was that Salford a relying a hell of a lot on increasing their attendances and if they don't they could well be in trouble.
