I suspect the rfl want toulouse and toronto in within the next couple of years and will quite happily sacrifice an established team or two to do it

Do you Jake. You must be worried about your club's place then?

Yeah, definitely. I'm sure if it comes down to it they'll have rovers in as the rep team from Hull. Stands to reason doesn't?

It's taken you a few thousand goes Jake but finally, finally you've posted something sensible.

Well done you!

Cheers. Alas, I fear I'll be long gone from this world when you reach the same milestone

Are you one of those West Ella posh boys? "Alas, I fear....." Use of such language clearly shows a huge Shakespearean influence in your thought processes. There again, you like a good tragedy supporting the dark side, don't you.

The RFL are clearly in the mood for expansion of the SL game beyond the current geographical constraints. Toronto getting the nod for 2019 seems likely, which also coincides with the completion of the new stadium for TO if memory serves.

Quite where that leaves the well resourced, incredibly well supported and supremely skilled team in the East Half of the 2017 City of Culture for the 2018 SL season is anyone's guess.

I wouldn't like to go through the trauma of the M8s and earning promotion the hard way to be told - You're In for 2018 anyway. Welcome back. Your absence has been SL's loss.

There you go Jake. Should give you days of ammunition.

YOU must have you are on this board more times then the goose and all other rovers supporters

I doubt you are the most important person in your own underpants.never mind on here?

I always go commando in this weather bud

Maybe next season, the way we've seen Leeds & now Warrington plummet, who knows? For now though I have a cup semi final and a battle for the top4 to look forward to.

You make a valid point in there though, I probably wouldn't have the same level of praise for the current structure of Hull were perennial middle 8 fodder.

Unless your on your period I guess
