i think you will find 'expansion' sides have been given dispensation. the rest of us established teams can suck RFL manstick.

Hkr got dispensation as did Hull, albeit through a merger.

The 2008 rule would put widnes at a disadvantage.

Hull got dispensation for saving the RFL face through the merger. Hull KR got it just because the RFL are hypocritical blerts.

What about Salford? Didn't they have dispensation?

So unless you can sign overseas players from uk clubs you'll only have 5 oversees players?

the RFL have made themselves feel all tingly between the legs giving us a franchise, we must now take the same RFL anal molestation as everyone else. thats the one and only favor we will ever get from them.
