I didn't think the new criteria had been released yet.

New criteria?

Re: franchises : Tue Aug 24, 2010 8:56 am  

What is the exact criteria? and the most points a club can receive?

Re: franchises : Tue Aug 24, 2010 8:57 am

you knoiw mate, the criteria where the RFL have stated that one club will come up, pre empting the process before clubs have applied...... HTH

Re: franchises : Tue Aug 24, 2010 9:27 am  

I suspect the franchise criteria will have to be changed because the RL will not get the answer they want using the previous system.

FRANCHISE APPLICATION CRITERIA

point 77b/687053:
No team shall enter the 2012 competition if their name includes reference to a large stone structure,
or a low road crossing across water.

Mmmm they have a ground though, we dont as yet.
The RFL are hell bent on ''new stadiums'' so if its cas v quins, quins win hands down.
As for criteria for the franchise, they make it up as they go along.

Looking at the old criteria we would score 6 points this time (if we finish 8th this year) putting us comfortably in the 'B' category. If the RL accepts we would have a ground 'meeting the standards of a premier competition in the 21st century' by the next round we would have 7points.

If by having an individual bailing out your loss making club to the tune of £1.5million a year means you are solvent, Quins would also get 6 points.
