Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

So the 'Club in' announced today.
'Club out' announced when, is it mid-season?

Big Ask, The club who is leaving super league wont be announced till July 26th when the successful 13 teams will be announced (plus the Championship side). There could be more than one team different to the current super league sides that are currently playing, but it is guaranteed that at least one will go.

I would say bye to one of either cru, Catalans or Quins for Widnes and wakey for fax! Even tho i like Quins, I can see them being first choice for drop in front of cru and catalans. As a giants fan I am really wanting fax up but can see at least see Widnes defo coming.

In what way bar their rented council stadium are Widnes any better than Wakefield?
Youth development - Wakefield win for me. Academy champions are they not?
Support base - Probably very similar
Facilities - Widnes win here.
Finances - Equal. Both reformed under new ownership after going into administration through spending beyond their means.
On field ability - Widnes aren't the best team in the Championship and Wakefield are far from the worst in Super League so its a win for Wakey here.

Wakefield and Crusaders out, Widnes and Halifax in for me. If any team goes into administration in the previous 3 years then they should not be considered for a licence.

Would be nice Grosey but you know the RFL will not admit defeat with Crusaders or Quins.
