Writing was on the wall when they first relocated their training to Dewsbury and then Sheffield.
But The RFL have to take some responsibility for this. They admitted Hemel, All Golds and Oxford in 2013 with the idea that League One was going to be a Development League. Then within a year or two they padded out League One with more teams and subsequently the gap between the top and bottom of that League was huge. It had to stay as a Development League really but that ship has sailed now.
