I kinda hate the idea but I think it would work, BUT first we must let Barrow have a chance to see if they can make it work.

A Cumbria team moving around the area would be brilliant made up of players from the area.

HOWEVER, I am not on the bandwagon of people saying we NEED a Cumbrian team.

It shows just how poor a job the RFL and some super league clubs are doing when only 8 or 9 clubs are really good enough for super league and one of them isn't even in!

Bradford (New stadium)
Castleford/Wakey (either merged or one in a new stadium, and if they’re going to merge than why not throw Featherstone in too, together they’d surly make another ‘big club’)
Cumbria Crusaders (with New Stadium)
Catalans
Halifax
Harlequins (Larger crowds)
Huddersfield (More consistent larger crowds)
Hull
Hull KR (New or stadium improvements)
Leeds
Salford (New stadium and with larger crowds)
Saints
Toulouse
Warrington
Widnes
Wigan

Whoever finishes top of the league are crowned Champions, top 6 are entered into play off series for the all new Super Cup with final at old Trafford, and the Challenge cup remains as is. The Rugby League trebble is possible!

Bradford
Leeds
Saints
Warrington
Wigan
Huddersfield
Castleford

Crusaders
Catalans
Paris
Barrow
Halifax
Salford (new stadium)
Hull FC
Hull KR
Featherstone
Widnes
Leigh

Harlequins i'm undecided on, but I like the idea of a 20 team league. I know there are too many games already (according to the players) but up the salary cap (but put a limit on how much the clubs can spend on say, their first choice 17) which will allow clubs to have more strength in depth and also give more youngsters a chance.

Can I just say that I am astounded that most would have us (HKR) in their best SL line up I thought we would be the first in the bin.

The crowds, derby and competing on the pitch easily sees you past the likes of Wakey, Cas and Salford.

Rovers need the ground and the finances sorting to be a top club though.

I enjoy my trips to Craven Park! (Apart from the fooorrrrwaaard)

Seriously, Quins, Salford, Wakefield and Cas would be in the bin before you lot (and rightly so!)

You rule!!!

As we use the play off system to determin the winners it is not crucial for each team to play all the others home and away. So lets expand (in no particular order)

1. Wigan Warriors
2. St Helens
3. Leeds Rhinos
4. Bradford Bulls
5. Hull FC
6. Hull KR
7. Harlequins
8. Warrington Wolves
9. Salford City Reds
10. Widnes Vikings
11. Huddersfield Giants
12. Barrow Raiders
13. Catalan Dragons
14. Toulouse Olympique
15. Crusaders
16. Cardiff Camels
17. Glasgow Grizzlys
18. Edinburgh Eagles
19. Dublin Donkeys
20. Cork Cheetahs

I know this is in the land of make believe and thr RFL wouldn't have the finances but we would have a balance east and west of the pennines, a presence in Cumbria and 2 teams in France, Wales, Ireland and Scotland creating rivalries in those countries and hopefully over time creating some sort of international games. I'd love to see a competative rugby league five nations.

Current SuperLeague, but throw Cas or Wakey out, and put York in.

Cheers.

Yeah !!! Love it. Love your stadium and the atmosphere too. The "York City Knights" theme tune should get you into Super League on it's own merit. A right rocky little jingle that one

Askam
Barrow
Barrow Island
Broughton RR
