201520162017:
Toulouse wins the Championship and is promoted to Super League
North Wales wins League 1 and ins promoted to the Championship

I am not predicting that these outcomes will occur, but rather wishing that they do occur for the good of the game.

If these outcomes occurred it could mean that in 2018 Super League would include the non-M62 clubs London, Newcastle and Toulouse, as well as Catalans.
It would be a promoters dream and finally result in better sponsorship deals for Super League, greater public interest in Super League, a better TV deal, and a strengthening of the game in France.

We get it. You like expansion clubs. Do you really need to keep making this point?

Until now nobody has drawn up the optimum feasible promotion scenarios for expansion of the game.

My posting has, for the first time in recorded history, specified the fastest way forward, which every genuine expansionist should be hoping for.

"for the first time in recorded history"
prove it

and the fastest way for me to become a millionaire is for me to win the eurolottery tomorrow. Neither of these outcomes will happen though

I don't think that you are being optimistic enough.

When RU collapses next season and League finally rules the world, we can all ream of A Leicester Tigers v Catalan Dragons Grand Final
and England ruling the world of International rugby

What an awful thread

I have scoured newspapers and magazines from around the world ever since the RFL introduced promotion and relegation. In no publication couldI find any mention of feasible expansion scenarios. That is why I undertook the effort to make the historically pathbreaking analysis that I have spelled out in my original post.

Please get a job ASAP Jean

Jeanette, your response is eagerly awaited in the 'Tigers sign Springer' thread, please do grace us with your presence.

You could have just suggested franchising/licensing instead, then you could do all that for 2016.......

You are unlikely to get a response unless you use the full name, which in this case is Jeanette Capdouze.

None of the clubs mentioned have their own stadia, nor any reliable infasrtucture (ie provided by a local authority or landlord specifically for their use), therefore, just like London when we were jerrymandered into the top flight, foundations on quicksand!

Toulouse has Stade des Minimes, which will be renovated to enable 10,000 seats.

Newcastle has use of the rugby union stadium. It is secure.
