Quote: The Dentist Wilf "Confirmation of criteria is expected late May, there could be changes There is rumoured to be some discussion about the under writing bit, which could change, because it is felt that the future of a clubs survival should not be just in the hands of one person as that frustrates developing the business.'"
clearly extra points will be awarded for teams that play in quartered shirts, and have a jester logo
or am I just a cynic.
as for the changes. I personally would switch Salford for Widnes...as I don't feel Salford offer anything at the moment, without the new ground (and upturn in crowds) they are just struggling along at the foot of the table (watch them beat us tonight now I've written that!!)
Widnes offer better crowds (easily would be around the 6/7k mark) and a good ground. They would also offer some local rivalry to Crusaders.
I think Toulouse are a good long term prospect, but I'd leave them in the championship for another 3 years, until SL is ready to expand to 15/16 teams (probably won't happen until the economy has recovered)
