Personally I prefer London. Poor media coverage etc is often justified by saying "well, it's a provincial, not a national sport" - that's difficult to offer a rebuttal to without a top-flight presence in the capital IMO.
If not London, then I'd prefer Widnes or Bradford, for the size of their fanbases and historical success.

Widnes? Fanbase? Hmm ok. Much as I'd like to see an RL team in London , I think if it is ever going to rise above semi-pro level it needs some aggressive, progressive and.imaginative thinking on behalf of the club and SL, and I've seen little evidence of that in their various guises
Toulouse for me, would also give Catalans a huge boost at the same time. |

Had to check, but in their title-winning 1988-89 season that many would consider their peak their highest attendance was 17,323 vs. Wigan and their average home crowd was 8,483.
Not actually quite as much as I thought it would have been to be honest, but given that our average was 4,744 that season, it suggests Widnes have always been able to pull a crowd if they have a side worth watching.
I live out Chester way nowadays and the RL fans you meet out here are probably roughly half and half Wire/Widnes. Frodsham probably the same. Runcorn is definitely Widnes territory. Although that probably makes me biased because I'm much more likely to run into a Widnes fan than Leigh or Featherstone. |

I’m still thinking the safe bet will be a Leigh or Bradford, although it would be interesting to see a team like Toulouse given the opportunity.

Having done a quick 'Google' it would seem that the population of Widnes is actually quite small when compared with Warringtn. St Helens, Wigan etc. Not 100% reliable figure as you really need to include local catchment / distance to next RL club etc (maybe should include Runcorn?) but still an indication. Their attendance back then tells you more about the fickle nature of fans and how they dwindle when you are not winning. |

Leigh need to make a strong bid for Latu and Akauola asap before somebody else snaps them up. They wouldn't even need to move house.

Apparently 3 NRL players can be announced now that its official.
Lots of Noise around Bryson Goodwin having 12 months but you guys got what we should have had. Lovely bloke. Lived close by to me in South Warrington. Don’t think it’s enough to keep us up if true but Leigh will be the most competitive out of the 6. |

I'm hoping that they will get promoted in the future and be stronger for that. Will be better when fans are allowed back, and of course when we can travel.
Leigh have even less time than usual to get a SL capable squad together. |
