Its already been stated one team will drop, that will be wakefield imo, Halifax arn't ready for super league yet maybe 2015?,
And do you really think after the cock up they made with celtic wrexham wales rl crusaiders or who ever they are now? they will fast track another union dominated french team that have nothing in place i.e fans who will bother with league, upto standard stadium and finance in place? Another french team in super league is at least 6 years off imo? |

Fax are as ready as Wakey, Cas and Salford for SL. Who knows that they will do with the French teams, they brought Toulouse into the CC for a reason. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

The RFL to miraculously find another 2.4 million down the back of the couch and SL expands to 16 , Widnes and Toulouse in , nobody out
And all is well with the world

As i said before only one team is going to exit super league and one will be promoted, imo wakefield are in the worst position out of all the sl teams and widnes are in the best position out of the championship clubs, so as i said before widnes for wakey. |

Toulouse haven't applied. Only 3 teams have: Barrow, Halifax and Widnes.
For me, the order of preference to go up would be: 1. Widnes; 2. Halifax, 3. Barrow.
Those in danger would probably be (in this order): 1. Wakefield; 2. Castleford; 3. Salford; 4. Crusaders; 5. Harlequins.
Widnes and Wakefield to swap is pretty much nailed on IMO. They would be well above all 5 of those teams. I think the real question is whether they think Halifax would be worth a punt over one of the rest of the four. Do they have a better bid than Castleford? Personally, I'd give them a punt if nothing is sorted with Castleford's stadium by July.

That post is possibly one of the most stupid things I have ever read on here and that's saying something.
Why are we (cas) in more danger than Crusaders who have litrally no fans (apart from the ones with free tickets) no stadium that is based in Wales (which is where they are supposed to play btw) and have gone into Administration in the last month. Then you have Harlequins who also have no fans and the game clearly isn't growing in the capital at all despite them being a SL club for years.

Correct , as Toulouse aren't allowed to apply as they havent passed the on field criteria required of a Championship club
They can apply with the SL clubs however , as the RFL changed their ' operating rules ' [ they must have somebody on the payroll permenantly re writing them ] to state a club from outside the UK can apply without having to pass any criteria whatsoever

who have literally no fans (apart from the ones with free tickets) - funny that I can name quite a few, unless you have proof to show more free tickets issued than other clubs?
no stadium that is based in Wales (which is where they are supposed to play btw) - where's Wrexham to?
Then you have Harlequins who also have no fans and the game clearly isn't growing - funny that the evidence doesn't add up to that, attendance yes but are you seriously saying that the game has not developed in London at all?
I can understand fans of established clubs frustration but posting crap is hardly the way forward is it? |
