Halifax might find it a bit easier to get ready with a shorter lead in time. Toulouse would probably need a year to ready themselves

Rule books been torn up Starbug, or have you been asleep the last few weeks

If they put it to Fax fans to vote, I'd bet we'd be staying put

Never. We'd get an A licence and take the league by storm!

I'd rather stay put than keep it warm for some other experiment/pet club

Fax as it stands now are the best choice for the licence.

However having been down to watch Keighley in Toulouse twice I think the potential for a sustainable Super League franchise there is huge, especially if they could co exist with Stade Toulousain. Rugby is in their blood there and talking to some of the locals there's a real appreciation for the game.

Oh and their Hot Dogs are downright amazing, which must tick another box on the franchise application form.

Neither is the UK version

I think it would be between Halifax and Featherstone with either the other or Toulouse to replace London for 2015.

Why?

If Fax were offered the place, they should grab it with both hands.

actually both have, as have sheffield as they made the GF last year

Rules are selective, they wont want to have a bidding contest, they will keep the contestants to a minimum, they need a quick decision , as they need to announce who it is in 4/5 weeks time

No , that qualifies them to submit an application for 2015-2018 , not the current period
