one thing that really needs to happen is that once decisions are made, a league table of bids strongest to weakest needs to be drawn up with tangible reasons why each bid is ranked where it is.

How many did Warrington win between 1974 and 2009?

If you look at the records Huddersfield have won more honours that Warrington, who biggest claim to fame was making the chap who polished their trophies redundant after 35 years service.

How many times have Warrington beat Huddersfield this season, soft lad?

Are we not showing constant improvement in this area. Yesterday we gave two academy lads their debut's. with one of them putting in a MotM performance. Our U18's are also unbeaten in 3 games having beating Saints and trouncing Wigan.

Didnt you say earlier it should be based on the league table?

Yes but there are 12 super league clubs in England and 1 in Wales. It would be crazy to take that 1 club away when rugby league in that country is on the rise, just as it would be crazy to kick Catalans out.

Its interesting to note 0 people voting for Catalans. I predict in 3 years time when Crusaders are more established, as Catalan are now, there will be 0 people voting for Crusaders also.

While we are in the habit of asking searching questions... why are you “a person that does believe in the expansion of the game in the longer term”

I don’t mean the way the RFL are implementing their strategy which can be covered elsewhere, it would seem you are fundamentally opposed to the expansion of Rugby League at all. I am genuinely interested in why you believe this, I am not on a wind up?

The RFL did not set up the Celtic Crusaders.
The RFL did not change their name to Crusaders and move them grounds.
The RFL did not set up the South Wales Scorpions.

These clubs have owners who are not the RFL.

Great news. Can i set a club up in Super League called Halifax RLFC without letting the RFL know?

I'm not biased just get rid of HULL

I agree it would, if they are within the strongest 14 applications, you can't keep them in under the "crazy rule"

I predict Crusaders won't be around in 3 years, sorry.

apparently it's the RFL decides their fate,not the deficencies of the club itself it seems....


it's scandalous IMO

That was using ' logic ' , now I'm using multiple faceted RFL system , also known as the bollox system

That system is notoriously difficult to maintain and operate. The RFL have the skill, maneoverability and the steadfastness to carry this system out.

Can`t do that,you would have eff all to go on about.


If my guardian angel is listening,let Radford score a try on Monday.

should be a cracking game with two in-form teams - wish I could get over to see it !

And how is this any diffrent to Cas, who are no nearer a new ground than Wakey?

I think its great that the poll results show the majority of RLfans want expansion to take place. 100% of people want Catalans in super league, 93% of people want Harlequins in super league, and 80% of people want Crusaders in super league. Its looking daunting for Wakefield however with 55% of people thinking its either Wakey go down or expand the league

Yeah because everybody voted honestly and 247 voters is a fair representation of the RL community. I'm a Wakey fan and I voted for Wakey because I find the poll ridiculous so you best factor that into your analysis for a start!

Its not but we are all blinkered at times and its easy to follow suit rather that think for yourself.

Yep me too

You are obviously a politician , if that is your conclusion , you asked people what they think will happen , not what they think should happen , I didn't vote , quite simply because it is obscene that you have turned what should be a sporting competition into a ' Britains got talent ' freak show , as I did post earlier , Toulouse aren't fit for the Championship , let alone SL

Read again. The poll is who should go from super league. Doesnt mention what will happen. So this is people thinking Wakey should go. I dont want Wakey to go, but i think they will.

And Halifax do ?
