| Quote: Ashulster "Toulouse themselves want to stay in the championship. It's up to the RFL now apperently. Also aren't they aiming for two 12 team leagues? Keep reading different numbers. But if 12 that means three new teams. I have no idea which clubs are the most prepared to step up but going purely on expansion I'd like to see Coventry or Nottingham to see rugby league reach into the Midlands. CPC Bears to keep the ball rolling in Wales and give South Wales a derby. Plus Hemel Stags to give Skolars a derby.
Who would be the most prepared to step up out of that bunch?'"
don't know about that mate - the way they are going TO13 don't deserve it IMO - they are showing a total lack of ambition - maybe it's time for them to go back to the LER and allow Lezignan to step up,playing in Narbonne.

I was not trolling, I was being very serious. For the good of the game Leigh should be used as a sort of rugby league expansion coach to nurture the future so they will be ready to join us in the top league one day.

I think the RFL are planning to change the funding of championship clubs so that all travel costs are funded by the RFL.

If you mean Leigh kicking their a$$ at least twice a year, year in year out, like they've done to help prepare Widnes for SL then I can see your point.

No French teams should play in the Championship. It doesn't achieve anything.

Imagine Widnes being used for that daft purpose offered up by Dalto. Covenntry et al would learn nothing whatsoever. In a way, Daltons poor trolling attempt is a back handed compliment to Leigh because his own club certainly couldn't offer that kind of springboard.

| For some reason Chris is ' stalking' me
But at least the Mutants are kicking ass tonight , they have a 4 point half time lead over Toulouse , and some serious bull...t from ToC about why they are struggling , then again Terry has brought a lot of these players to the Stobart , " All the other clubs are upping their game "

| "Wignes" have scored again. They should put a commemorative red stripe in their kit.

| Nice to see Terry O'Connor doing his PR work for Wignes - free on Sky.

| Good defence in the end by Widnes - especially after the tough Easter weekend. When they play well in patches they look great but they seem to shut off for long periods of the match. Must be tough for TO too - same busy schedule and tons of travelling. Can't be easy that.
