Lame excuse for an answer that. The obsession and paranoia atm from some other fans (including yours) is unreal.

Don't think we should be part of the list. We might not even earn promotion from L1 yet. Bypassing the championship would be wrong and just harm us rebuilding (just like keeping us in SL in 2012 then deducting our central funding did. And not making us start onL1 last season did)

14 clubs should be top 8 plus top 6 of middle 8s.

Thats probably the first direct comment I've ever made about Leigh other than when we have played you. But yes, I am obsessed with a championship club from a small town in Wigan.

There you go then.

Hopefully not Leigh or Bradford, I went for TW and London.

I am unable to vote, despite the fact that I am over 18. As other posters have made clear, the deprivation of voting rights is widespread at the moment among forum members.

But I am compelled to state that I believe that Toronto and Toulouse must be promoted.

For the good of the game the RFL must act further than just promoting these two superb non-English clubs mentioned above. In particular Widnes must be relegated and London promoted in its place.

your other 13 aliases have voted though

Me neither

Leeds
Wigan
Hull
Wire
Saints
Catalans
Toronto
Toulouse
Hull KR
Castleford
I would say this^ lot are shoe-ins

Widnes
Huddersfield
Leigh
Wakefield
Salford
Are in danger of not having the fans or finances to be in SL but the two extra spaces may save them because talk of a New York franchise and in the future Hamilton and if you heard the BBC Radio Manchester show talking to the Manchester Rangers board who said they have long term plans for SL and have numerous good backers... plus London... a resurgent new Bradford... are five that could easily replace those five.

But do we have a talent pool of 350 players good enough to fill a 14 team league (25 man squads)?

Not while many of those team are not running an academy or reserves and instead feed off other clubs that do.

Expansion is all very well but it must also contribute to the player pool. Every new club needs to be given targets for producing their own players from their own systems and working in partnership with their community clubs - if they don't they should be penalised. Spending all the income on the 1st team is not the way to grow the game.

I suspect that this is very much part of the Toronto business Plan for the foreseeable future.....Keighley Cougars have recently entered into an agreement with the Canadian RL.....surely a better scenario would be that the only professional side in Canada should partner with them.....but that probably wouldn't get the "HEADLINES" that seem to placate many RL fans into believing that Toronto is the answer to our problems.
