I would have thought in 3 years we would definately be competing against:
Leigh
Halifax
Toulouse
New stadiums permitting:
Barrow
Fev
Outsiders:
Sheffield
South Wales
Any other outpost the RFL introduce between now and then
Without taking into account the criteria (which will be made up accordingley!) and performances on the field (minor detail
) and trying to look at it how the RFL see things, in another 3 years, even with a new stadium, i would have thought we would definately be behind Toulouse & Barrow (stadium permitting) just on location alone. I would probably put us level with Leigh, Halifax, Fev ( new/improved ground?) and maybe even Sheffield. On that basis, i think we may be in for a struggle.
As terrible as it sounds i think our best hope may lay in the Crusaders financially struggling to see this season out, but even then it may be a close call between ourselves and Halifax.
