Quote: M@islebugs "The fact that you've responded suggests I don't need to. When I think of Saints, Leeds, Wire etc I don't think parochial M62 etc. Hull, Cas have an identity and a rich history of players, cup winning teams. Hull KR are regular strugglers but still have vibrancy and their fans care. I want to watch these teams on TV as they're an 'event'. London are important and I agree with the poster who said they should have stayed where they were building a fan base. York is a big city now and I enjoyed Leigh's all too brief sojourn in SL because of the enthusiasm. I think the above shows there is opportunity for expansion within the country and within the huge numbers of people who find clubs like Wakefield and Huddersfield as monochrome as I do. This Sporting Life. Moribund, a pair of concrete wellies as far as marketing the game.
And of course there's Bradford, whose rise and fall perfectly mirrors that of the fully professional game in this country.'"
What a load of crap... Huddersfield have more local lads in their team than almost anyone... and much as I would welcome London back who wants another plastic pitch at a third rate RU ground.
Wakey have stayed in SL whilst Leigh and London have tried and failed so this post is not steeped in reality why should Wakey go either ??
SL will get cornered by the Wolfpack and get them back in SL at the threat of them folding rather than lose face when they do, so all this is irrelevant.
12 SL teams next year same as started this season.. you know I’m right .....
