Says on teletext that they are 99.9% certain to launch the new Welsh club tomorrow. Named South Wales and with a 90%+ playing staff that will be welsh

from an expansion point of veiw thats very good news.

Got to agree with that.

i think there will be an awful lot of RU players who turn up for trials especially those who play in the backline

Based on recent events in South Wales I'm exceptionally wary of what is happening.
On the face of it a new club in South Wales is brillant news, however we have (had) one in Bridgend that for reasons (currently) unknown is moving to Wrexham, we have left some fans behind in Bridgend who are no doubt pretty damn disgusted at what has gone on, there is howver a small foundation to build on (there has been money pumped into Bridgend - why waste it).

If however the new club is in another part of South Wales and Bridgend (and its slowly expanding support for RL) has been jettisoned then I do hope its not just a small smokescreen for a series of bad decisions by the RFL to kind of say "look we're still playing RL in South Wales".
It wouldn't fool anyone - not least the Welsh who do know a thing or two about the Oval ball game.

Its like ground hog day, check out the early mid 90's a team called south wales lasted one season then and this will be no different!! Shambles. Is Bill Murray now CEO of the RFL?

you could be right pal.but if this is a team full of welsh lads i think its something worth giving a chance to.

They will be the TBC club as shown on the RFL fixtures for the Co-Op Championship then

i'd rather have Prescot Panthers back, despite what Keiron Cunningham says "the welsh DON'T love their rugby league", they do love 'kick & clap' though.

there's six million of em surely a few thousand would like to be entertained in the right manner.

hasn't it gone beyond the joke now though?
a 'second' club in our league's. Yes, SOD Bramley, let's have one in north wales (crusaders are now in super league under false pretenses) and let's let another one in, based at Bridgend (again). Wales folk do not care about Rugby League, it's no good trying to 'ram it down' their throats. This latest 'lot' have only applied for a place because they know the RFL will 'encourage' the other clubs to let them in. We have 2 clubs in London (they don't care) and now 2 clubs in Wales (they don't care). How about 2 clubs in Leeds, no, SOD Bramley.

Pedantic I know , but we do have 2 clubs in leeds , some would suggest we have 2 clubs in w1g4n
