paris
cats
toulouse
wrexham
scorpions
quinns
wigan
saint
wire
bulls
hull
leeds
it could be very interesting for 3 of the northern clubs if the RFL have a look at glasgow,edinburgh & dublin'"
If that's how SL looks in 2012 then they will be the only professional clubs in existance and on very much of a slippery slope themselves. I would give professional RL about 2 years if that was the make up. |

hope you are right, bulls, saints and leeds can be replaced by dublin edinburgh and glasgow due to their old style stadia, then we can all wave good riddance to SL and get on with playing RL ![]()

moving in with a premiership football team has pros and cons, the pros is that the facilities are superb, however the cons are that you become at the mercy of the football association. if they were to announce tomorrow that premiership teams can not groundshare where would that leave the RL clubs?
thankfully the governing body in football are not the zealots we have in RL'"
I still miss the Boulevard  |

Not at all. We just get sick of you flatcappers moaning so we go a little further the other way to listen to you moan some more 
If it did get cut to 12 we'd all move on and get on with it but i'd be seriously worried about the future. As it stands right now I think it's all a bit doom mongering |

I think if you had in a few years time 18 teams with 3 or 4 weaker teams spread across conferences I don't think people would be THAT bothered tbh

Depend who you mean by ' people ' , the fans , correct , they probably wouldn't , but they are not the ' people ' who would be affected by having so many clubs needing funding via SKY
That would be the club owners , so as I said , No chance |

Do you not think Sky would offer a bigger contract for 9 games a week/3 televised with hopefully selling some rights onto french tv?
Its not a short term thing anyway but i genuinely believe its the future
