Agreed. Its bad enough some delusion fans, but when supposidly intelligent journalists also start. If we really were the RFLs pets they would have found a way to have us in SL by now.
Everyone was convinced they were going to find a way not to relegate us after the 2017 season as well. If the RFL really did favour us they just had the perfect opportunity to find a way to fast track us into SL.
Yes Odsal should never have been brought by the RFL, but we didn't get any benefit from it whatsoever (probably a little of bit of justice there to be fair) but can imagine the meltdown if we benefitted like Wakey did in 2011 getting a license despite entering administration months earlier, or do what Salford just did with their CVA. But yeah it's only evil Bradford who's ever benefitted from dodgy decisions.
In all fairness to Wakefield they were gone. They weren’t getting a license. It was only because in the 11th hour, Crusaders pulled out due to financial troubles and I think eventual liquidation. The RFL obviously had no plans at that time to accommodate this and thus the easiest option was to keep Widnes as the promoted side but to replace Crusaders instead of Wakefield. So Wakefield by rights shouldn’t have been in during 2012-2014.
