I quite like the idea of bringing London back into SL - after all it worked so well last time.
They are well placed to get back on merit.
They only need to beat Leeds in the M8's and they will be on their way
Seriously though, the only way for the sport to expand, without it taking most of this century, is to go with some sort of franchise system but, we scrapped that model 2 years ago.
Another piece of brilliant forward thinking by all involved.
Clearly, there needs to be some serious thought on the best way forward for the game and this needs to be have input from clubs and fans alike.
The inclusion of Toulouse, who look pretty strong and 2? Canadian clubs, is exciting but, do we expect them to make the grade for SL or, are we just "waiting to see" what happens.
IF the sport is going to develop and IF we are to have additional clubs in SL from other countries, then there will be casualties from the heartland clubs (or we run with an expanded SL) but, yet again, there is just no dialogue from the games administrators.
Expect the usual "mushroom" style, kept in the dark and regularly fed with s4it"
remind me again how many new clubs under franchise ? Compared to now were clubs have and want to join ,funny how it's the team at the bottom who want to bring back franchise
