I agree with what you said about Wakefield. Although they will land on their feet with a Wembley appearance I bet!

On a personal level, I'd like to see Widnes back in SL along with Salford. Celtic Crusaders? No thanks. I've got too many doubts over whether RL can become popular in Wales. I loved the yearly Cardiff trips but lets face it, it was only really the supporters of current SL teams who showed up to watch the games.

i think futurechampions has it spot on there...i agree with his shoulds, and think what we'll get is what he thinks. i do think that it is probably a year too early for the crusaders, but if they can get a few welsh union players to go across, get harris down, cunningham might fancy it, and you never know, even briers. to be part of something new may appeal to these guys whose careers are winding down

why would Widnes deserve a place ahead of Wakefield? Wakefield have been a pretty good team for a few years now and produced some good players through their ranks, which Widnes haven't.

Widnes have a better Stadium

And a better derby team

This is true.

HJ - 13,024
Halbart - 15,000

Both will fill up quite nicely for derbies.

Jungle of broken metal - 11,000 (although some are claiming they've moved a couple of crash barriers to make it 12,000+
Belle really bad Vue - 11,000

Haven't Cas and Wakey only sold out once in the relegation decided in recent years?

Salford are in.
Celtic are in.

End of topic.
