And of course there's Bradford, whose rise and fall perfectly mirrors that of the fully professional game in this country.

What a load of crap... Huddersfield have more local lads in their team than almost anyone... and much as I would welcome London back who wants another plastic pitch at a third rate RU ground.

Wakey have stayed in SL whilst Leigh and London have tried and failed so this post is not steeped in reality why should Wakey go either ??

SL will get cornered by the Wolfpack and get them back in SL at the threat of them folding rather than lose face when they do, so all this is irrelevant.

12 SL teams next year same as started this season.. you know I’m right .....

Seems somebody else thinks your talking rubbish, nearly forgot, you never mentioned the teams you would introduce into your new exciting plans for super league.

Wakey should go for the reasons stated. Leigh and Bradford didn't finish bottom whereas Wakey did so on field results are entirely arbitrary in deciding and always have been. Considering the decline of the selling power of the game to broadcasters as has been suggested, the criteria for being in the elite league ought to consider what clubs bring to the comp apart from simply staying in it.

Yes I did. Bradford for obvious reasons. London to maintain expansion. Leigh as they were contributed the last time they were in the league. And then further down the line York and Newcastle. I wouldn't consider Fev as they're too connected to Leeds and a bit Wakey-esque in image.

The problem with Huddersfield is that as a visual spectacle for the sport, they are a huge negative with their empty stadium and, with it, the non existent atmosphere.

To be honest, they aren't the only ones with the issue of a ground that's too big for their means, but they are the one who seems to stand out, fairly or unfairly.

We won lost and won again our SL place as did the other 11 teams in SL including Toronto.

However we didn’t pull out of SL have fulfilled our fixtures and if we finish bottom next year rightly we will get relegated the current way to lose any teams SL place.

Currently the Daily Mirror are reporting that any Toronto takeover is subject to and viable only with full RL membership plus their full 1/12th share of the TV money.

So the mega NATV deal is well and truly gone? No player development and expensive trans Atlantic flights. Expansion my ass !!

Ironically Huddersfield is one of the few clubs who could currently get their 4,000 season ticket holders socially distanced in their ground !!!

It really is haunting you the fact we played and beat you to keep you in the championship, you had the chance but they blew it, since then it's got worse for you and your very lucky to even have a club.

Don't forget they was the rules at the time not us setting them but the RFL had they played to the rules of straight promotion and relegation yes we would of been down but it would of be Leigh coming up and Bradford would of missed again

You need to get over the loss

This is a bigger pile of crap than your last post
Bradford couldn't run a raffle without somebody nicking the proceeds and don't have a ground of their own so not sure what the obvious reasons are.
London were relegated simply because they weren't good enough, but by your reckoning surely Toulouse should be in front of them expansion wise.
Leigh tried and failed twice, but by your obscure criteria should be at the top of the pile but replacing who exactly?
York is a town that thinks it's a city, only thing going for them is a decent ground, and because Newcastle have a wealthy owner does that qualify them to jump up two divisions.
As for Fev being too Wakey-esque seems a bit of bitterness in there somewhere.
