Too many ifs and buts seeing as we have no coach in post, and it would seem that most of the gaps in the squad will be filled with young 'uns ( not that that is necessarily a bad thing - the lads who were out on loan at Oldham may have gained some good experience).
Can only really hope for a top 4 finish, Leigh and Toronto will probably have 1st and 2nd sewn up.

If that did happen and we went part time it rules NOTHING out for the future. Fact is that with a full time playing squad we don't have a Club fit for Super League, or with a plan to make itself fit for Super League. Whatever starting point you have when that plan is implemented won't affect its success or failure.

If Broncos do ever go part time I'd suggest the most likely way London would ever host Superleague rugby again would be via a brand new franchise rather than Broncos being rebuilt into a Superleague franchise.

Agree with the last post.
Question is, new franchise would it have to start in NL 1? You have to keep the same club

If franchising does arrive I wouldn't rule out a new club starting in the superleague. Whether or not it would be based in London is a very different matter.

It's an interesting discussion though. Toulouse and Toronto had to start from the bottom, prove there worth and work up.
I am not saying which way I think they should do it, but a lot depends on criteria applied. Should wasps get involved eg, good stadium, proven record as a yawnion set up, is that enough?
