We have only forfeited the last game of the season due to not been able to raise a team due to a Covid outbreak. Salford forfeited a fixture earlier in the season and Catalans, Cas have both played less matches then us this season. We have also paid all our players on time and don't owe them any money unlike Toronto. Plenty of other teams this year have had to pull out of a fixture and reschedule due to Covid outbreaks, we just don't have that luxury as the season finishes this weekend. But don't let these facts get in the way.

Funny how Wakefield had to up 14 players missing one week and have still managed more games in the “regular” season than any other club.

Instead of all the smoke and mirrors, The RFL and SL may as well just announce who they want in and give that club every chance of putting a squad together for next season.
They'll probably pick someone like Ottawa over clubs like Fev or Leigh.

After all, they probably have someone in mind already

London or Toulouse for me.

I'm happy us continuing to build. Obviously issues with us playing at Dewsbury. Got some good kids coming through again and hopefully in one or two years we'll be in a much stronger position to have a good crack at SL. I would rather earn it fair and square on the field.

York - Their potential is huge but I hope we don't run before we walk with them.They played 4 and lost 4 in the championship this year.

Kind of feel for Fev, they a victim of circumstance through no fault do their own. They do everything right, one of the most successful championship clubs, made ground inprovements with not much money. Yet I can't see them being admitted when there's already two clubs so close to them

Interesting whay the criteria will be, especially after what Salford did yesterday.

Disgraceful,but not surprising,that clubs were informed last Friday that there was a vacancy for Super League inclusion;days before the vote on Toronto Wolfpack was taken.

Source?

(Please don’t say ketchup)

Ok, Daddies.

If that is addressed to me....Twitter account of Gareth Walker,I think.

If you can't find it let me know and I'll dig it out.

PS - I don't tell lies.

“ stated that in the event Toronto were not readmitted, and if they decide to go with 12 clubs then...”

“ I should have clarified in initial tweet - this was sent to Champs/L1 clubs by the RFL as part of their discussions on the make-up of next year's comps”

Halifax have applied to join SL for 2021, who's next Hunslet Hawks ?

Will the club chosen be subject to a more rigorous examination than certain clubs that are already in Super League?

Be interesting to see what the criteria is, and if some existing clubs don’t meet it.

Pick Widnes

Good facilities 13,500 all seater stadium
Brilliant youth development, year after year
Debt free and financially sound
Brilliant history
Will take thousands of fans to other games generating a lot more match day revenue.

We’ve been rebuilding and have a really good championship team formulating for next season. Add 6-7 good SL standard players and I believe we could become competitive (not talking about winning silverware)

A town that lives and breeds rugby and always will.

Great opportunity for any team who gets the nod and hope they take it and don’t look back.

Yeah, hope they dont have to rely too heavily on imports to keep them competitive or have to merge to survive

How did Toulouse produce such a professional video trailer so quickly after the announcement ? Almost as if TO13 had prior inside information to prepare !

Interestingly Tolouse video features the happy smiling faces of CEO's/Directors Ian Lennagan of Wigan, Gary Hetherington of Leeds & Head Honcho, Supremo & CEO of Super League Robert Elstone enjoying the 'hospitality' of Toulouse Olympique.

I am sure that nobody would ever suggest that 'free holidays' & other incentives have ever been offered to or accepted by these 3 very influential Super League CEO's !
