they have an amateur team Mancunians RL who registered interest when the bidding first came about.. i assume either they or the RFL deemed them unfit at the current time to step up, which is fair enough as it's still early doors for them yet. Hopefully they can keep building and in a few years be ready. There was also some rumours of a Chester based bid with Warrington Wizards relocating. Would be nice to get another north west club up and running after Blackpool were lost.
I reckon Skolars will be in the end of season mix despite a bad start, kept much of last years squad together and have been improving year on year, the way expansion should be done. My moneys on Crusaders for the top spot, i just hope they don't get thrown in at the deep end too soon again though. They need to build their roots slowly because they have the potential to be one of the top semi-pro clubs
