It was announced a few months ago, last autumn, that the clubs who make up SLE had voted to keep the comp at 14, knowing that that would include one current Championship club.

I doubt we'll ever know the answer, but it would still be imteresting to know how Cas, Wakey, Salford and other Cat C licence clubs voted ...

Nah, it all works so well in east Hull.

Now, you guys returning to your North East home I could dig....

Think about the stadiums roofs.

You'll up grade while we'll downgrade.

You're suggestion makes no sense.

Wakefield and Salford out

Widnes and Toulouse in

7th time lucky!

How do you know they havent ?

And yes they do

]

Yes they do qualify. Cos they are in a development area. They have to win nothing or prove nothing.

And you still don't "get it" do you? So blissfully naïve. Bless

Unless something changes with the London Franchise, I'd have to say Quins out, have three years to re build somewhere else (no idea where to) and then another crack at Super League.

It's easy to say Widnes in but I'm not convinced they will add anything to the competition, obviously they have a nice ground, but its just a little bit uninspired to me.

However it seems quite likely that Wakey will get the chop, with a straight swap for Widnes.

I was of the understanding they cannot apply for the initial guarenteed championship place, but can apply with the 14 super league and other championship clubs for the remaining 13 places

Wrong. No the don't qualify. They are a championship club and need to meet exactly the same qualifying criteria as other championship clubs (win the NRC or appear in GF) to apply. As was clearly and explicity stated by the RFL in 2009.

But let's not let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.



Because I can read. The RFL have named the Championship clubs who have qualified to submit applications. And they have named the Championlship clubs who have actually submitted applications. Toulouse appear on neither list.
No they don't. See above.

No. See above.

I guess we will have to wait and see in June.

Get rid of Quins- No Debts, a squad full of Londoners, decent ground, 40% of SL viewers living down south- There is no place for the game down here

Lets get another small northern mill or chemical town in the league-That has to be the way forward
