I vote for New York

In better times an eight game knock out competition involving say, Fev, Bulls, London, Leigh, Fax, Widnes, York and Tolouse (I suppose) would make a nice little money spinner.

I presume you forgot to put the emoji after that post PT?

I will never forget the tackle on Ashley Gibbson by Ahvan infront of the main stand at there place! Gibbson out for a long time with shoulder injury, The cheering from the scum they call fans was disgusting that did it for me with that load of $hite glad they went down and dont want them back no matter how many they bring.

100% with you on that one CC

Based on facilities, I'd go with Leigh. Good stadium and a rugby-mad town.

It's a shame Bradford weren't doing a bit better on the pitch, as they are a bona fide big club. It was good to see Odsal bouncing in that cup game last year.

I would have said Widnes, but I can't stand the pitch. Doesn't look as bad in the flesh, but looks dreadful on TV.

Fev? On merit, yes, but at a point when the wider sporting public might see an expansion team failure without fully appreciating the reasons, to replace them with the flat-cappers would look like the game has accepted defeat.

London is a decent shout on merit, but I'd be happy to see Leigh back.

Leigh have had two go's already 2005 and 2017

And your point is what exactly?

I really think there is potential to push RL, particularly in the lower leagues. All the emphasis is on SL, but yet there are some great traditional teams with better crowd potential than us, floundering in the doldrums of the RL world.
There must be a way of pushing league 1 and giving it some importance blending more with SL.
to get the crowds back in to great clubs like Leigh, Halifax, Bradford, Fev, Widnes, Oldham York etc etc.
Perhaps a pipedream as it would cost money and lots of it....

I'm afraid that's all it is unfortunately a pipe dream or wishful thinking call it what you wish, prior to the first lockdown can you tell me one club who has maintained their attendance never mind increased them in super league over these last two or three years, silly question really because I know you can't, there are plenty of excuses out there as to why this is so, being realistic the game is on it's knees and alas is struggling to keep up.

that they have had two go's and failed its not a point it's fact

Who's to say they would fail again?
Who do you suggest?
As other teams eg. Widnes, London have also failed..........

So the point you are really trying to make is the fact that they have had two goes in super league, does that mean they have reached the limit of chances they are allowed, or in your opinion they are not worthy of a place, or are there teams better qualified to be in before them, so which point are you trying to make?

It means what it says, no add on's from me.

I am sure the SL and RLF will announce some form of criteria for applicants to meet and they will then be considered on their merits should they submit an application and other endorsement or criticism has no value whatsoever
