How exactly did you stick your neck on the line making a prediction??

Law of averages with you. Spout enough e and some of it is bound to stick, eventually.

Widnes fans in meltdown. I would have been shocked if they got in. Ok the ground is semi good and better than others and they have a fan base but they havent been to good on the pitch for the last 4 seasons and going tits up didnt help.

I was replying to a post refering to widnes. Where leigh are concerned they are arguably the third strongest team in NL1, with the RFL wanting to strengthen and expand the game, Celtic and Salford were shoe ins. As long as Warrington are in i dont really care about anyone else.

Dont agree with this at all imo Celtics and Salfords stadiums are not super league quality while the widnes ground is It should have been Widnes And then Wakefield Kicked out for Touluse as wakefields stadium is appaling

IMO the existing twelve SL clubs have virtually had an automatic entry into the 'club' as the RFL would be poop scared of the lawyers. I can't see this changing over the next three years, and as long as one of the fourteen doesn't perform ridiculously bad either on or off the pitch then Wierdness or Leigh won't get in in 2012 no matter how amazing an application they have. (Obviously the same won't be true for possible applications from the likes of Birmingham, Edinburgh, Dublin or Moscow).

It's now a closed shop, and I feel particularly sorry for Leigh after all the investment into the sports village.

good idea, lets kick a super league team out who are 7th in the league for a french team who got absolutely anialated by bradford in the cup, that will improve the league won't it.

widnes most probly didn't get in because they went into liquidation last year and teh rfl won't want to make the risk.
salford will of got in because they are a super league standard team, got relegated last year and are top of nl1 this year.
and celtic were always going to get one, this is pretty much what millenium magic was all about, getting wales into the sport, for me this was always going to happen

The funniest thing about this is they decide to give the green light to a team with no real history in the game which are based in South Wales, shortly after announcing that they will be moving the Magic weekend (one of RL's biggest annual events) away from South Wales in 09'. Figure that out!

The RFL are braindead. I hope this decision fails miserably.

Steve O'Connor handled the decision with great class and dignity. I'd encourage people to take a look at the statement he's issued on the widnes website.
