Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Don't worry, as said above, lots of people who were RL fans at the time still don't understand it. They seem to think that 'SL clubs voting between them with the backing of the RFL to allow the Broncos to continue as a SL club' somehow equals 'the RFL are corrupt and gave them loads of money'. To those with even half a brain, it obviously doesn't. |

Disagree with the strategy of expansionism and you are a nenaderthal hey? Doesnt sound like a sophisticated argument to me, infact its almost neanderthal.  |

Or, perhaps the blind fear of expansion without a rational argument makes you a neanderthal?

It'll never work! Catalans make the CC Final after two seasons.
It'll never work! Catalans firmly ensconced in third and in a rich vein of form heading towards the play-offs.
Keep it to the M62 corridor, it's heartlands where we can all in each others pockets. |

Have to say all 12 SL Teams with Celtic and Salford. Would love Widnes to get one but their crowds and on pitch performances arent good enough.
"Murryfield Magic Games"
Leeds vs Stains
Wire vs Wigan
Quins vs Bradford
Catalan vs Hudds
Cas vs Wakey
Celtic vs Salford
Hull vs Hull KR
All Evenly matched games IMO (With Exception to Wakey vs Cas only based on this years games)

I think the success of catalans shows that franchise will work
Teams will build for the future knowing that they have at least three years of super league money behind them! |

What about the teams who aren't in, and have x years without any chance of getting in no matter what they achieve? |

You miss my point. Expansionism is to develop the profile and support level of the sport and cannot be based solely on the performance of one side. Loads of arguments why for against the current expansionist strategy, but my point was why would you be an neanderthal for thinking that a London side still with mickey poor attendances after 25 years of existence is an overwhelming success which should be replicated. |
