The RFL board issue licences based on rules decided by the clubs. They can also only expel a club if the rules - again voted on by the clubs - allow it. The clubs actually have the final say on admission to SL as they own the league pure and simple. There have already been discussions between them on the possible admission of a Bradford newco. Opinions are divided.


The RFL were give those "rights" (under the then created set of rules) when the franching system was first set-up :-
"A licence will INITIALLY be for three years however, the independent RFL Board will have the right to revoke a club’s membership if need be at any stage.
Although the reasons for this are still to be finalised it is likely to include insolvency, contractual breach, persistent under performance and possibly persistent rule breaking.
Any ‘failing’ club who has its membership removed could be replaced by a ‘successful’ club from outside engage Super League."

(Taken directly from the RFL on the formation of the licencing system.)

Clubs need to give their agreement to changes to the SuperLeague structure (eg:- adding more team, reducing numbers etc). If the RFL board pull Bulls licence, the RFL board can replace them. I agree that they would seek to do it with the agreement of the clubs, but the rules allow them to do it unilaterally.

I think you are both right.

The admission of a newco would be dependent on a vote by the SL club chairmen, the RFL have been given the right of veto.

I fully expect the clubs to vote against the re-admission for Bradford to make their displeasure clear, but full in the knowledge, and as willing participants, the RFL to wield that veto and continue the sterling job they do as a lightening rod for the conspiracy theorists, assorted yokels, and peddlers of nonsense.

What we'll find out by this process is if all clubs are treated equally, if Bradford come out of admin like Wakefield did and rebuild in that way, 4 point deduction seems fair

If they go into liquidation, I don't know what other option but relegation. If this was Widnes (my team), Castleford, Salford, Wakefield, London there'd be no debate and people would expect it, and there'd be no arguments. Just because Bradford were one of the "big four" does not give them the right to circumvent the consequences of bad management that led to liquidation

But that's not what we're talking about, is it? We're talking about what happens if the current Bulls club is liquidated and a newco applies to join in their place. In that situation the power to say yes or no lies ONLY with the club chairmen - just as when the newco London club was admitted.

If they go into liquidation, there's no club left to relegate and all bets are off.

The RFL don't have a veto. They do have a vote. If 8 clubs vote against a newco then they aren't coming in. If the vote is tied I believe that the RFL can then make an additional deciding vote one way or the other.

I think the RFL not only have the deciding vote, but also Les Catalans vote in these matters,

Though i will try and find a more respectable source

Five clubs are prepared to vote against them entering the competition as a new company.

Two more are needed to reject the proposal — although the RFL have the power of veto and can admit the club.

Of course Catalan can vote - they're a member of SL.

The RFL do not have a power of veto. Think about it logically - if they alone had the power of veto what would be the point in having a vote at all? The sun are confusing a veto with a deciding vote. And that's also why 8 'no' votes are required and not the 7 quoted.

This isn't true. Nigel Wood was asked this in the last couple of days - the clubs do not have the power to vote on if the Bulls return to Super League. They do however have the power to vote on how many teams are in the franchise.

Any decision on if we remain in Super League will be made by the RFL board.

Semantics. If the Bulls get liquidated then SL becomes a 13 team league, so any newco will need the vote of the club chairmen to be admitted.

If the Bulls survive administration then the clubs don't get a vote at all.
