looking to go to 14 teams from trl forum
finally they see what we are talking about, two days ago writing off toulouse saying clubs would block it now this is good for the game.
something to compete with henekein cup.
i would see it this way
1.wigan (no need to explain)
2.leeds
3.warrington(new stadium growing crowds)
4.hull(best stadium in superleague good team)
5.st.helens(most dominent side in superleague)
6.bradford(powerhouse of game)
6.salford(bright future major backer)
7.huddersfield(history of the game)
8.london (need a prescence in capital)
9.castleford( league stronghold)
10.hull kr(have more support than hull, would set up great derby)
11.sheffield/another london
12. swansea (remember 1995 wc 1/4 final 15000, they would get more support than bridgend)
13.perpagian
14.toulouse.
we may see mergers take place would not like to see it happen, the total abolish of relegation, who knows. bleak future for wakefield, widnes, leigh.
now this is exciting.
the nrl needs to bight the bullet & expand for another team across the tasman, i am guessing they are waiting for the money offer for the tv deal. one thing is for sure the need to sell the rep footy(tri series & soo seperate to nrl).come on bring in wellington & goldy.
all this to come in by 2008/9 So in 4 years looks like we will see
2 London Teams
2 French Teams
1 Welsh team
and 9 others. Probably say good bye to Leigh, Widnes, Wakefield, and Huddersfield, all going down to NL1 unless they get things sorted on/off the pitch
