Its gonna be tense

"You may select 1 option"
do you know something we dont?



Salford are almost definately going imo. Even if they get a new stadium i dont think they deserve to be in (unless they somehow get a decent team, a decent youth set up, and loads of fans before the next applications)

Quins really shouldn't be anywhere near super league if they cant drastically improve their crowds.

Crusaders shouldn't be in at the moment imo (I've not read their application, but surely their whole application was based on being in the South of Wales, and not a few miles from the heartlands), but unless their crowds drop significantly, they will probably get a license.

Cas and Wakefield will both get licenses (even if their stadium plans arent anynearer to becoming reality), unless of course someone from Stade Francais says they'd like an rl team, and implies they'd be willing to fund it

Thats it crowds are everything

Its a good job we dont look back at the last ten years- You would remain in "div 2" with Wire, Reds, Wakey, Hudds, Cas

Lets not kid ourselves we(RL) have huge crowds- Only Wigan, Leeds, Bulls in the early days of SL have had what could be described as good crowds- Hull possibly

They've been trying to get rid of Wakey from the begining for some reason (or so it seems) and I think they'll manage it now.

Quins won't and shouldn't be kicked out of SL. If we kick Quins out we may as well forget all about expansion, put our flat caps back on, go back to Winter rugby, and while we're at it bring lineouts back.

Salford all the way.
Forget about new stadiums, Widnes and Leigh have already got them, as have Doncaster etc etc They've been shocking and I'd replace them with ol' Widdy.

When is the axe falling?

I go for Lewis and Wood

Wood yes, Lewis no.

I agree. Quins, Salford and Nomads all safe on geography. Cas over Wakefield purely on fanbase, whether they're playing well or not.

I don't think Salford are safe, far from it. Cas should be ok since they've got an ok team and decent crowds.
Wakefield should be more worried than Cas in my opinion but since they've got a decent team and a good youth system they should be ok as well.

Salford don't have a good first team, don't have good crowds and don't have a great youth system.

I'd be worried if I were a Salford fan.

Castleford and Salford are the most vulnerable I feel. Crusaders seem to have been taken too warmly by the Wrexham people and Wakefield/Harlequins are producing youngsters which will go in their favour.
