Quins and Crusaders - expansion is pointless. We are trying to push a sport onto people who don't want it and at the same time destroying those that do.

Wigan and Leeds for me. They're letting the rest of the game down by getting decent crowds.

I think Quins or Salford for low gates lack of success and no derby

I think Hull because the fans are all thick

so is your mum

Hull Fc if you are representative of their fans. Out of any one of ahalf dozen , "franchise ", threads you have to start another one

Can't argue with the low gates, but the derby statement? Is that really the only thing that makes your clubs anywhere near great?

On the other hand, Salford have a new stadium being built, came up as champions and have never finished bottom since returning to SL. The club also does massive amounts of work in the community, you know, kind of spreading the whole name of Rugby League thing!!! As the team starts to gel and perform better, the crowds will grow, similar to what initially happened after the 2006 season. To chop the legs from under Salford, just as the club is getting it's act together, would be a massive mistake. The team is currently playing some of the most entertaining rugby in SL, and has a host of young British players either in the first team squad or on the verge of it!!

Need I quote: Ratchford, Broughton, Gibson, Adamson, Sidlow and Sneyd. They'd all be in or around your first team squads, not to mention Cashmere, Patten and Holdsworth would make the starting line up. As an FC fan I'm sure you're aware what a bad coach, can do to a team. Once McRae's gone for good, Salford will be a force, there is alot of talent in the team.

The only club, from outside, capable of doing a better job than us in SL is Widnes. Wakey have probably dug themselves far too deep a hole this time and have to be odds on favourites I'm affraid. Personally, I'd get rid of HKA. Far too many imports, consistant cheating of the quota rules and being too close to another SL team. Also, what would happen to HKA's crowds after a few poor seasons? My prediction is the same as last time, they'd just follow FC instead. So what do HKA bring to SL?

Oh yeah, have no issue with Hull FC. I have been to games with a mate of mine, and quite happily cheered you boys on.

Modabee! Oh hang on...

Salford and Wakey.
Wakey for obvious reasons and salford because although congratulations on getting your ground built first (imo), you've not really offered a lot else. What the salford fan quoted above me almost any club could quote and you've been whipping boys for the best part of 3 years. I wouldnt demote you personally i'd make a 15 team comp but Fax deserve their chance and out of Cas/Salford, Cas are the stronger club.
Crusaders i'd give another 3 years to and then weigh it up. Depending on how things go SWS could be waiting to take their place or the Chps could be ready for a decent sky investment to make it 2 divisions.

Thats a fantastic idea.

So you think it would be good business sense to replace a Welsh club (that failed to get any significant support despite being geographically reasonably close to other SL clubs / the RL 'heartland') with a smaller Welsh club (that are not only many miles and hours away in a car from their nearest SL rivals but are also sited in a similar area to where the last Welsh club failed?)



I'm out.

Leeds for me. Sky would then switch to financing The Championship and we would all want crap grounds so we could join 'em.
