Indeed, I would imagine such a thought would see said club in administration and shafting local businesses, then denying it ever happened.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

| I have to disagree here. In my opinion Widnes will NEVER get a franchise.
The RFL want to expand the game and as long as Widnes are geographicaly close to Warrington they wont get in , no matter how good their criteria looks.Salford will get the new stadium next year and will become the Manchester team that the RFL want. They will eventually go for a second French team as well.
Plus they will want a team in Scotland pretty soon,and probably another half way down the country[Brum ]
There are only so many places available ,probably a maximum of 16 teams eventually[many years from now ] so I can see a few of the present clubs eventually losing out.

Can't see a SL franchise in Scotland. The Magners League attendances for Edingburgh and Glasgow Warriors in union are dire - often around 2,500. I fail to see rugby league with no history there at all taking off.

Sunday morning ???
You clearly know as much about the days of the week as you do about RL in general !!
Your mighty squad might struggle tonight because Cats have only three or four key players missing rather than your usual 7 or 8.
Nice to see you've found an internet cafe in Perignan anyway !!! ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) Die hard to the cause !! ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

Aye probably.
Seriously, though, I think Widnes deserve a crack if their financial problems are sorted. I can see Toulouse getting a francise although I think there are enough SL teams with negligable away support.

BTW my poor little dobbin friend, I really do hope that your Franchise is taken away, even though I don't believe it will be, and that your petty little club withers away and dies. Forget all this "good for the city" cr@p.
But even when it does inevitably happen, your petty little fans will still have a healthy and even more fanatical interest in SL...........come on lads....you know what to do.........WE ALL HATE ULL !! ...WE ALL HATE ULL !!....WE ALL HATE ULL !!..... WE ALL HATE ULL !!....... WE ALL HATE ULL !! .....

| 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 ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) 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)
