| The owner appears to suggest a return to super league action in 2021. I think there will be a lot of clubs questioning this in super league regarding relegation and the championship for promotion. I would say interesting times ahead.

That was one of their problems - the overseas players visas don't last the elongated season.
Whether or not they can be renewed if they sign for another team...?

| In the circumstances I have no issue with this
They are in an impossible situation with the travel
I hope they come back next year
Our game doesn’t need another failed expansion club

The next step in that argument though, is "if you've reduced wages to get your current squad through the season, how can you then suddenly find new funds to take on a TWP player?"
(I mean the notion of taking on players on refreshed visas).

I think it would be extremely unfair to relegate any club in the current circumstances. This situation is beyond anyone’s control, and not of their own making. At this moment in time, no one within our game can say for certain, that the other 11 SL clubs will complete their fixtures for this season. All it would take to ruin this season completely, is for a few players from one club to test positive for Covid 19, to shut that club down. Do we relegate that club. Just imagine Leeds, Warrington, Saints. for example being closedown,due to the virus.

Why London?
They were relegated from SL.
If its any team, it should be Featherstone.

Can’t understand this SBW present day fascination, great when at his peak but definitely not worth the money now. Myself personally would like that sort of money used on 2 or 3 younger players preferably British that’s wishing that we had the money spare

Let's be honest, no-one is coming up to replace them this season.
Season already started.
Part time squads.
Players on furlough.
Legal challenge and delay from the half a dozen clubs you don't pick.
Certain to finish bottom, but won't want to be relegated.
If you put a club up, how do your square their missing fixtures if Championship restarts?
Cash - who has cash to operate at SL level in 2 weeks time?
Duty of Care - Championship players not up to week-in, week-out demands of SL.
Etc.

You commented that you have no issue with visas being extended, to allow the overseas players to get a club, yes?
I then suggested that the wage reduction>new signings conundrum remained...
Does the conversation make sense?

| Fev fancy a crack at their spot in Super League.
They could in theory play the fixtures and then start again next season in lower league. If they got the share of the tv money it would be a good deal for them.

Featherstone club statement:
Featherstone Rovers have made contact with Super League and RFL officials today and expressed their interest in joining the Super League following Toronto Wolfpack's withdrawal from the country's elite competition.
Rovers, who were beaten in the 2019 Championship Grand Final by Toronto Wolfpack believe Super League and RFL should consider granting the club a chance to compete in the 2020 competition. Rovers remain undefeated in this season's Betfred Championship and are due to play Wakefield Trinity in Round Six of the Coral Challenge Cup.
Rovers CEO Davide Longo said: “We were surprised that Toronto Wolfpack have had to make such a tough decision, every club within the sport has had to make challenging decisions this year and we share their disappointment in this difficult period.
“However, it leaves the rest of the Super League clubs with an uneven competition, disrupting the integrity of the division in 2020.
“Rovers have a squad littered with experienced players and ambitions to strengthen the squad if an opportunity presents itself. Featherstone were unbeaten going into lockdown and we feel a shot this season is worthy of our club's efforts over recent years.”

I would say they deserve to be given the chance just on being runners up from last season it makes sense and also be allowed to stay there for next season competition too with Toronto going back into the championship as reward for pulling out
