Lots of pressure on Trinity to deliver if their owner is splashing the cash. We've seen that end in tears a few times before to a few clubs. Hope they've got a backup plan and it's not the Steve Ferres plan.

A new squad will take time to gel and those not used to the championship might not find it as easy as they think.

Sadly doesn't matter too much what Wakey do on the field this year which is why I think the IMG model will fail despite all the sound bites "blueprint for growth. Look at the NFL" etc

If Cas were indeed owed half a point because of their error (typical RL) then Leigh would have been kicked out of SL, despite finishing 5th, winning the cup and looking like a club you'd want to go watch. Madness.

Wakey will get much better points for their new stand next year but lose in some other areas such as viewership etc just as a result of being in the championship. I think they'll replace Cas but there's not a huge amount in it.

Won't they replace London?

Sorry was going off the IMG top 12 which had Toulouse 10th. So be London & Cas to drop out to be replaced with Wakey & Toulouse

I wonder what the odds would be on them being given Featherstone away round 1 of the new season and facing a fiery affair

I guarantee it be us away to Wakey. Always the same we play the team with a buzz around them away opening game.

Probably get them for Summer Bash as well

It comes with being the RFL's "pets"

Won't be us, we're not a big club anymore. Shame Keighley got relegated they could have stepped up to give Wakey a decent challenge from a big club.
