Promotion/relegation should be knocked on the head for at least three years to give whoever comes in a fighting chance.

As a game our history of development is embarrassingly awful and I expect that either Leigh or Bradford will get the nod.

All applicants have reasons why they shouldn’t get the vote.

Not sure where London are in terms of financial support but if still supported then they would be my choice but acknowledge that their team has been plagiarised by current SL clubs so would expect them to finish 12th if they were successful

My initial thoughts were either Toulouse or London. Having had time to reflect if either of those came up they’d be straight back down again. I’d prefer them to earn promotion and hopefully have a team that can compete when they do come up.

Leigh are probably the only team who have anything close to a squad which has any sort of chance at competing, for that reason I’d give it to them.

Toulouse,York,Leigh,Bradford,London,Featherstone in that order

Leigh/Fev/Bradford would be a step backwards.

Has to be one of York/Toulouse/London.

Leigh are a tiny borough in Wigan who offer what? A few ex SL players? Fev a postcode in Wakefield who’s only thing going for them is the best stadium in the area. Bradford don’t even play in Bradford.

York are up and coming and have been building well with some decent additions, Toulouse narrowly missed out on promotion and have a solid squad. London were unlucky to be relegated last time round and have a good academy with the most tickets for the RLWC.

Do I believe any of the 6 will stay up? No. But to have one of Leigh/Fev/Bradford actually selected would be an embarassment.

What time is it being announced???

12.30ish now. Was due at 12

Leigh confirmed

Christ on a bike

Shambolic decision.

Meh

At least the travel infrastructure is in place for away fans...
