I made a few of my irish chums watch some games and they absolutely loved it but im just not convinced we could compete with GAA. It would need a considerable amount of money throwing at it to work.
If GAA goes professional what do you think the impact will be? Could it work in leagues favour or against?
There's been rumours for a couple of years that an Irish team wants to enter the Championship leagues. I think an Irish team would get more support than a team in South Wales, their Rugby clubs are generally better supported. Rather than quick geographical expansion in SL I think were far more likely to see a fair few new championship clubs. If there's one thing that Celtic Crusaders proved, it's that any two-bit businessman can set up an RL club in a new area and make it to SL in a few short years. Even though they flopped in Superleague, they could inadvertently leave behind a legacy of new semi-pro clubs in the Championship.
