Quote: Donnyman "Mr. Hetherington is calling for an independent panel to choose a club for promotion to Superleague 2021 to take the12th. place.

Criteria include Good finances, Good Stadium, Decent (paying) attendances, good commercial potential and player production system.....

Who will it be?'"

Out of interest, where did you find out what Gary thinks or is calling for?

Toulouse don't run a player development system. Read the criteria icon_wink.gif

Quote: Budgiezilla "If it happens although I can't see it, as a Leigh fan (with the player production taken into consideration also) I'd go for Widnes.'"


Well if we are in joke mood I would go for Ottawa. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

But your right that Leigh do not have the "player production" but they could sign up a reserves side.

This was what Lenegan asked of certain clubs who may harbour SL ambitions when it came to the new deal 2022. He wanted to see them run reserves and that included Bradford, Widnes, London and Newcastle. They all responded. I'd say it's logical that Superleague will be looking for a club not to fill in, but be full participants longer term so I'd put London favourites then Widnes...Bradford and Newcastle may have some way to go yet.

If SL would accept Leigh if they signed up a reserves side there's a chance.

Quote: Donnyman "You've been reeled in yet again Wayne. TWP are disposing of their whole SL squad at this very moment. The question about then carrying on is about them carrying on in the championship or league, whichever one they get demoted to as a punishment for not completing this season.

He got you!!'"

Reeled in by who exactly? If you hadn't dissected my post to suit your agenda you don't have anything to come back with, what I said which you well know is, that perhaps it might be better and less troublesome for the RFL if they came back in super league thus avoiding championship clubs falling out amongst themselves as to who got first dibs, which in all fairness to the RFL would be virtually impossible to decide without showing favouritism. Twp as you say are disposing of their whole super league squad, it doesn't take an email to you from Lenagan to tell you that as it's well documented in the press, unfortunately for you that MIGHT not stop them recruiting for next season with encouragement from the RFL, which I understand your point of view as it will leave you devoid of any reasonable excuse to pour out your usual diatribe of anti expansionism. So presumably you have heard first hand from Lenagan and I say this because you talk about him as though you are in day to day conversation with him that it's definite Twp will be demoted to the championship or league 1, as per I think your just blagging your way through as lets face it your not sure which league they're going into, oh nearly forgot, who is it whose got me? certainly not you cock, toast eh, you'd be out of your depth in a car park puddle icon_lol.gif

Quote: Donnyman "Toulouse don't run a player development system. Read the criteria
I'm sure that you can email them your criteria, they are sure to be really interested.
Do you have a link to the AGREED criteria or, are we going on press cuttings and you tube clips (again).

If the Championship isn't going to be played, which looks highly unlikely, there are 2 candidates.
Either Toulouse, who are top of the Championship at present or, Fev, who were beaten finalists last season.

Anything else would be open to all sorts of questions and possible legal issues from clubs that believe that they had been "overlooked".

Voting a club into the league, even by an "independent" panel looks fraught.

Mind you, this is rugby league and the silver bullet will be sought, again.

Toulouse run a team in Elite 1. That is effectively a Reserves side and development of players.

More than what some English teams do, especially when you consider dual reg.

As they say though, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Your words. There's a fundamental difference when all someone posts is made up in their head, passed off as fact.
