| Quote ="TrevLovesJanice"Very thought-provoking post.
For me, they will bring just 1 team in with one of Quins, Salford and Wakefield to go out.
Quins and Salford seem to have their problems but have (or will have) good grounds and represent a potentially huge fanbase in 2 major cities. I'm not saying it's morally right but I think they'll hold on in there.
Wakefield have made too many promises for me. Where is the ground they promised in 1998 ?? They have a poor fanbase (both home and away), limited youth development and still no sign of a new ground (if you belive their propaganda about a ground in Stanley you are a fool !). No way can SL be sanctioned at that dump (Queersmell Stadium or whetver they call it this week) for any longer.
So it's bye bye wakey for me.
Incoming, my head says Widnes but my heart says Halifax. Both are strong traditional teams and are pulling respectable crowds in the lower division. They have both proved that they pull bigger crowds at a higher level.
Barrow are too dependent on 1 man's money and a lot of short-term signings. Not enough depth to the finance or squad although I'd like to see a Cumbrian club make it to SL one day.'"
You really think Salford offer more than Wakefield?

And if it wasn't for a disgrace of a VR at Cas and two absolutely decimated sides in Leeds and Saints, you would be sat on two points at the bottom of the table !! Or have you chosen to ignore those facts ??

I'm pretty sure both them sides had alot more international players on the park then we did, or do you ignore those FACTS?
Plus you want to talk about injuries, you beat Hudds and Bradford with both of them losing their best player prior to the game, FACT!
Dont know what you going mad about to be honest, you guys have the start you wanted and like I said, I'm not happy with the way we have played but we have got a decent point tally so far.

A very good points tally compared to the two that you clearly should have !!! I agree !!
Is that the same Bradford game before which we also lost our form player and half back ??

They had more than your average squad on show, that's certainly true. However if they had anywhere near their full strength sides, you would have been blown away twice. And those are the sides that the rest of us will probably all struggle against !!
You must all be very worried about Cats tomorrow !!! They only have three or four key players missing !! How on earth will you manage ???

Agree, fax and widnes in, get rid of salford and quins.
Won't happen tho. I would think the best result would be those two in, and salford out, 15 teams next revolution

HKR and Wakefield OUT
HKR's losses then double to £20k a week, they gradually realise what they've done wrong but it's all too late and it all goes POP for them !!!!

Don't know who you support but I doubt you have the fan base which would make it attractive to the RFL to save you

Indeed, I would imagine such a thought would see said club in administration and shafting local businesses, then denying it ever happened.

| I have to disagree here. In my opinion Widnes will NEVER get a franchise.
The RFL want to expand the game and as long as Widnes are geographicaly close to Warrington they wont get in , no matter how good their criteria looks.Salford will get the new stadium next year and will become the Manchester team that the RFL want. They will eventually go for a second French team as well.
Plus they will want a team in Scotland pretty soon,and probably another half way down the country[Brum
There are only so many places available ,probably a maximum of 16 teams eventually[many years from now so I can see a few of the present clubs eventually losing out.

Can't see a SL franchise in Scotland. The Magners League attendances for Edingburgh and Glasgow Warriors in union are dire - often around 2,500. I fail to see rugby league with no history there at all taking off.

Sunday morning ???
You clearly know as much about the days of the week as you do about RL in general !!
Your mighty squad might struggle tonight because Cats have only three or four key players missing rather than your usual 7 or 8.
Nice to see you've found an internet cafe in Perignan anyway !!! Die hard to the cause !!

Aye probably.
Seriously, though, I think Widnes deserve a crack if their financial problems are sorted. I can see Toulouse getting a francise although I think there are enough SL teams with negligable away support.
