Would sky finance this without Quins?.
If you are going to spread the sky money between fewer clubs then Quins are a must in this league.
it would be so much easier for them to be competitive with more money to spend on players and marketing.
Quins for huddersfield and i think your about right in the makup of your league.

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 |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Hull KR with their new stand will be good enough.
Widnes have always been good enough.
Salford could be good enough with the new stadium and so would Castleford.
I do agree though we only have 8 clubs who are up to standard.

If you research my posting history on here, you will find I've said many times that if the new ground failed to materialise Saints should be kicked out of SL.

Only this weekend, the Champs of 2007, 2008, 2009 had a narrow win over the bottom team. Are the fans raving about a close and competitive game?
What's needed are "lower" clubs to stand under the top clubs, to facilitate "top of the table" clashes. But without a "bottom of the table" there is no top of the table.'"
Of course they want a close competitive league , as long as their club is just a bit more competitive than the rest , unfortunatly they haven't figured out how to not have somebody be at the bottom of SL yet |

I want those clubs to raise their standards enough to be 'super'.
I am also aware that we need Salford in because all of the BBC is moving to Salford.

How do you get that?
Just so there's a local team for the BBC to ignore? 
Salford offer nothing to the league at all, no fans and can't compete in the league. |

They've had the best part of 15 years, or over a hundred years depending who you listen to,to become super,what makes you think things are going to change now. |

But a few years ago people were saying the same thing about Warrington and Huddersfield. |

The O/P wasn't about what we want , it was about what we have now , and the relevance of Salford being a few miles closer to the BBC than Warrington or W1g4n is what exactly ? |

So a few years ago they would have dumped them , no problem , beside which Huddersfield still dont have many fans despite them being at/near the top |

It is just impractical to have a league competition, comprised of 8 teams. Sorry. Anyone remember Division 2 in the mid-90s?
