Faisal obviously hasn't met, heard of, or understand The Wibsey human dustbin that is Nigel Wood.

Oy... I'm from Wibsey.... I didnt know Nigel was?

I'll be more surprised if Fax get a SL licence than I would be if Angelina Jolie came up to me and now "nar then ya big ginger beast, fancy a going a few laps o' the track wi me"??

Widnes are in. Beyond that, unless another SL clubs (who aren't currently in the top 6 or from France Wales or London) do a wakey, I reckon that's it! I just can't see any team being given the chance to do so ever again! I just wished the RFL would be straight about it.

Since when could you use straight and the rfl in the same sentence without it being a joke

I am sort of with you there RFF. I too think that it is almost certain that Widnes will take Wakefields place for 2012, but then all the remainder of the Superleague clubs, along with Halifax and Barrow will be considered for the remaining 11 positions.

You cant blame Halifax for wanting to make the RFL's decision as difficult as possible.

Well i wouldn't, Its the RFL after all, Does PROBIZ offer more to the world of RL and the RFL than Widnes. Possibly !!, Depends on what happens between now and announcement time.

I do however feel that Widnes up in March, 50/50 as to whether we would go up in july with the other franchise bids.

I heard she was due in town to watch the Grand Final rematch so you never know. She's also partial to a Copper Dragon in the 3 Pigs so game on.

Oh I don't Bob, not by any means. Good luck to your club. IMO you won the comp (still smarting about it) and should have the opportunity to have a go at SL - but it's not like that argument has ever been played out!

Could we discuss the above in great detail ?.

Copper dragon, a game o' rugby and Angelina eh??

Could that day be improved upon I ask?? I don't think so Norman owd cock!

Bug_ger off! No!!

HOW RUDE RFF.

i think he has already. with all the sposorship money probiz are putting into the game, fax, cas, world club championship plus his talk of widening the viewing audience to middle east nigel would have met him.
also think that with him pushing for fax for SL after all sponsorship he is doing it will enhance fax,s chances.
SL would not want to close the door on someone like him. the gap on widnes has become a bit closer for licence.

What happens if Red Hall decide to increase the number of teams within SL??

Fax have every chance then.

would not surprise me at all if they did increase the number now.

I think Widnes will get the nod in March, and Fax could possibly get another berth in july.No guarantee for Castleford or Salford.Wakey are in administration soon, so they swap with Widnes.

I AGREE! THESE NOISES COMING OUT OF PROBIZ ARE MASSIVE!

AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH US COULD FOR SURE SHAKE THIS 1 HORSE RACE TO SUPER LEAGUE UP!

THE RFL WANT MONEY AND EXPOSURE IN OTHER COUNTRIES, AND PROBIZ 'TICK ALL THE BOXES!'

FAX HAVE AFEW TICKED ALREADY FOR THEMSELVES REMEMBER.

I WOULD SUDDENLY BE THINKING TWICE ABOUT BOOKING MY SUPER LEAGUE AWAY TRAVEL IF I WERE A VIKING (SHIVER!)

DEEP DOWN THOUGH I JUST FEEL THIS COULD BE TOO LATE, IF ONLY PROBIZ HAD COME ON BOARD A YEAR AGO!

Salford are safe, their stadium is coming on nicely.

AGREED

Probiz are certainly "talking the talk". Now it's time to "walk the walk"

I hope they are not Rugby Leagues version of Hicks & Gillette



Sorry to be so cynical

Looking at todays news Wakey are near enough gone and even if they make it through these next few weeks (I hope they do as don't like any team in that situation) then they will no longer get a license. I wouldn't be surprised if the league was expanded though and both Fax and Widnes to be put up.

I wouldn't be surprised, I'd be amazed! More teams = less money per team.

All decisions taken in SL are taken to suit the power base.

Unfortunatly I can't see Super League being expanded as it would probably mean all its clubs faciung a reduction in Sky funding and they have allready turned that down

On the flip side more game = more revenue...
