I was on an iphone on a bus

Was this when they have been ripping up half the roads?

Ah yes the ripping up of the roads that looks set to be complete ahead of schedule and under budget, and will drastically increase the capacity of the junction, apparently.

That's a hell of a balancing act. Watch out for low bridges.

I was laughing along with the comment, not at your spelling mate.

The trick is to balance the iPhone on its long side. You've no chance trying to balance on the short end

IS my view on the situation a sensible one tb?
No one seems to want to comment on it.

If a legal case was launched, then I imagine that the first thing the applicant would do is seek an injunction preventing the application of that rule.

I'm confused. Were you on an iPhone or on a bus?

A very good point and not one I had considered.
What would be the likelyhood of it being upheld though?, Would the RFL be able to argue that no one forced you to sign up to these conditions?, Again on that one im not sure but it is another grey area and another reason that IMHO the RFL are holding most (Not all) of the cards.
Ill say it again.
IMHO the RFL are gambling that no club has the balls to try it.
Does that mean that no is able to do it...no.
Will that club be willing to gamble their entire existance on it...no.
That is why IMHO its a gamble the RFL will always win.

I wouldn't have a clue on the merits of any application, as it is not my field and I have never read the documents. Franchising may one day make someone have a go though, if the club's financial position was such that relegation would mean closure. What would the club have to lose. If a few injunctions flying around created chaos, the RFL could consider expanding the number of teams as a compromise.

I doubt it will ever happen in reality, it is unlikely to win many friends in the game, but that is the problem when you have relegation and promotion by committee rather than performance, particularly when it seems sometimes that the process is skewed to help some clubs more than other. It just gives lawyers something to scrutinise.
