Cas & Wakey to merge on the cards imo

we need 3 out,harlequins,catalan and celtic.all three parasites.widnes,halifax and one more championship side in.

It would be the logical thing to do however I think both clubs seem too stubborn to do this, the fact they wont even share a ground is a joke and should cost them both their places IMO.

Can understand the stubborn attitude they are rivals, however I think they will have no option in the end...I agree if they refuse they should both go.

Are the 5 criteria:
1 Commercial, marketing, media and community.
2 Facilities.
3 Finance.
4 Governance and business management.
5 Playing strength and player performance strategy.

the same as headings used for current 10 areas then?:

Capacity of 12,000
Premier competition standard ground
Average crowd of 10,000
Operating at 40 per cent full
Turn over £4million
Solvent
Contribution to competition
Junior development
No salary cap breaches
No club within 20 miles

?

Bye, Wakefield.

bye harlequins

We all know that Catalans, Harlequins and (assuming they are still in business) Crusaders are untouchable so its one from Cas, Wakey and Salford.

Never going to happen.

All prejudice aside; who contributes least to Super League? Has to be Harlequins for me.

Ideally I'd like to see a Cas/Wakey merger, bringing Widnes in.
Admit the London experimet hasn't worked and give up, bringing in some form of Cumbrian side, a heartland of the game without SL representation is ridiculous.
Force the Crusaders back to South Wales or withdraw their franchise.
