Not Wakey, not if it's an on field battle and if it comes down to the last game of the season ? Bank on the Trinity.

From a Cas Tigers perspective I would hope that it doesn't come down to the last game of the season in 2014. Confident in DP and the squad he is putting together.

Regarding Wakey - a lot can change in the space of 12 months so anything could happen. As it is now the futures looking bleak but if an "electrician" type benefactor can be found or Daddycool can work his magic there is hope. It has come at the worst time possible though with 2 going out next year. Keep the faith.

Or it could be argued it has come at the best possible time

Really hope London go as they offer nothing to Super League. If they can't manage to generate crowds of 5-10,000 in a city of 7 million, then they don't deserve to be in it.

I live in South West London, it doesn't take much longer for me to get to Cas home games as it does to get to London ones. You have no idea what you're talking about.

And inbetween you in SW London and NE London is a city that can barely get 3000 fans to watch RL. That's the point, not how long it takes you to get to games.

We really do feel your pain up here in the bleak north.

Unless the RFL bail out London they wont be in the league next season, I know Fev are waiting in the wings to take there place.

For me it's a little bit early to say, need to see how recruitment goes, how Cas replace Chase, will Wakefield have to sell anymore players to survive, how Bradford recruit. How will Fev if they come up will do.

Only one I would pick now are London/Fev.

No matter how much Fev club/fans dream they won't be promoted for next year.
There's no point as it doesn't give them a fair crack at the league. Plus I'm sure that I read somewhere that the rest of the clubs had voted to go with 13 teams should one drop out.

FWIW I think that they would stick with 13 and then relegate the bottom club and promote 2 from the Championship

As other people have said, my argument is that London can't generate crowds. Don't know if it is down to poor marketing or what, but for a city of 7 million people, it is an embarrassment that they get less crowds than Cas, Wakey, and Salford do. This is a fact, not something I have made up.
