| Quote Rugbychick™="Rugbychick™"I do think the RFL have wimped out a bit with their choice. There is always a lot of talk about expansion of the game and I really think they've missed a great opportunity.
Personally I don't think we need the luxury of 2 teams in one city (Hull and Hull KR) and Castleford and Wakefield, geographically very close and both were shaky on the license possibility.
I'm pleased Celtic were awarded a license but I'm not too convinced about the inclusion of Salford who are very close to ourselves, Wigan and Saints. Even including Salford I do feel we'd have been better dropping Wakey and putting in a team like Tolouse.
I feel sorry for Widnes and the derby being back would have been nice but I do think another 3 years of careful financial management will mean they're pretty much bang on for one next time round. I think only 9 months after entering administration is probably too soon for them to be given the opportunity and I'm sure that was probably one of the only reasons they were left out.'"
My personal thoughts exactly, I'm pleased Celtic are in for expanding the game. But IMO Wakey are very lucky to still be in. I would have liked it to be Wakey out with Celtic, Salford and Tolouse in.
I feel bad for Widnes but I'm sure they will be in come 2011 when the competition should expand to 16 teams. |

| Quote Istilldontbelieveit="Istilldontbelieveit"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.'"
It is you that is braindead, everyone said that Catlans wouldn't work and it has. The RFL have been looking to break into Wales for years and years, now is their chance to be proven. Well done the RFL. |

Fine if you want to keep RL a minority sport, it's people like you that can't see past the M62 and realise that there is hunger for Rugby League when the sport needs to expand to attract more players, stronger competition etc....
Next we need a Cumbrian team for 2011. |

Yeah but from day 1, the nucleus of their potential far exceeded that of Celtic Crusaders (fan-base, stadium and player potential).
Its a crock of Shat and typical of the RFL. |

By 2015 We'll have an English, French, Welsh and Scottish team in superleague. Expanded again to a 16 team league.

I personally think we will see 16 teams come the next franchise in 2011, exciting times ahead for rugby league fans though. |

| Was intrested to hear what the Quins co-owner said about having a midlands team. As I grew up in the midlands i know the game is getting bigger there but especially Nottingham where I did grow up they have a team that seem to do well every year in the low low leagues and they also have an international player  Cant remember who! Will try and see!
His comment was to bridge London and the North so a midlands team would be ideal! |
