[uDefinite[/u
•St Helens - Regardless of whether they have a new stadum they will still be in be because of on-field performance, youth-dev etc..
•Leeds - Despite getting an A for their stadium wasn't part of the South Stand condemned recently and had to be re-built will still be in be because of on-field performance, youth-dev, attendances etc..
•Wigan - Will still be in because of stadium, history, attendances etc...
•Hull-Gateshead - Will still be in because of stadium, attendances etc...
[uAlmost Certain[/u
•Warrington - Decent venue will keep them in, regardless of how many up and down spells they have.
•Huddersfield - Decent venue will keep them in, regardless of how many up and down spells they have.
•Bradford - Antiquated stadium, poor playing record, attendances dropping. Realistically they perhaps don't deserve to be in this group. But history should keep them up (plus the fact there's still another 2.5 years to go and they could improve on the field).
[uIn because the RFL can't drop them[/u
•Celtic - Club outside the heartlands - 'nuff said
•Quinns - London based club - 'nuff said
•Catalans - Club outside the heartlands - 'nuff said
[uThese teams need to be worried[/u
•Wakefield - History of under performance and no new stadium.
•Castleford - History of under performance and no new stadium.
•Hull KR - Do they actually have a stadium or do they play in some-one's back yard? Can their on-field performance save them?
•Salford - History of under performance and no new stadium.
[uLikely to come up[/u
•Widnes - as long as they don't go into administration (and win at least 1 Grand Final) they should come up.
[uUnikely to come up[/u
•Toulouse - depending on how their on-field performance goes - it's probably too early.
•Featherstone - Not a great ground, not always fighting for championship honours, unless they enjoy a drastic change in fortunes they are probably not ready.
•CUmbrian Team - simple question [u[iWHO???[/i[/u Is any Cumbrian team ready for Super League? I agree that Super League should have a cumbrian team but is any cumbrian team ready yet? No. Can you see the Cumbrian teams merging? No.
•Halifax - Not a great ground, not always fighting for championship honours, unless they enjoy a drastic change in fortunes they are probably not ready.
