id say most of Salford is Class A territory

Sorry that was badly worded, I was meaning Saints should be A grade. Separate point - Salford will have a new stadium. Realistically at the minute you would say only Saints and Hudds (Catalans maybe?) could join the 4 current A teams.

It's a very, very strange situation, but Crusaders did become irrelevant once they moved from South Wales. Did they jump, or were they pushed? That's the question. I wouldn't be surprised if they fold and the RFL tried again to establish a welsh team.

As for the rest: Quins should never go - if anything we should have another London club to jump on the bandwagon. How far away are the Skolars from the Quins?

Also, all this talk of Halifax/Wakefield etc, what's the point? They're all the same - small northern towns that won't improve SL. How about taking another chance and promoting Toulouse? Huge city, helps the game expand further in France, and gives Catalan a rival.

It meets the criteria for a Grade A stadium.

And how can another London improve SL when the present one can't.

Ryan O'Hara not happy on Twitter as well@Ryano_ActionMan
First they steal £100,000 off me, now they withdraw from SL to sleaze out of paying me. F**k you crusaders owners you will get yours.'"

Players at Crusaders seem pretty ed off...

On another note... £100k!? I thought RL players were earning peanuts.

Or another one in France. If today has taught us anything its that letting in "new" clubs before they are ready doesnt work. Crusaders shouldnt have been put in SL last time around. If things had been done properly they could have had three years down in Bridgend competing in the Championship and then had the possibility of being considered this time around. They were rushed in, had to move to north wales, bought loads of aussies and journeymen, offered very little to the comp., brought in hardly any speccies, werent making any money and ultimately wont be a SL team after this year.
