Would love Halifax back in Super League!

There Ground is looking pretty decent these days as well. They've finally managed to finish that side stand off after 20 years of starting it.



By all accounts now though, were they usually house away fans behind the sticks h&s busy bodies have got involved. Not happy with concrete blocks or something which could cause problems.



I personally think it will be Widnes, but there results at the moment are very poor



Barrow? Surely not! There ground looks awful, worse than Bulls for that matter.

Are Castleford interested in ground sharing with Wakefield at Newmarket?



It appears to me (admittedly from the outside) that both sides are posturing and ultimately only interested in progressing their own schemes.

I hope batley get a franchise.

I wasn't aware Batley were interested in getting one.

i really dont think bradford can rest on their laurels ,they may escape this time ,but when the next round comes who knows?

Unless Bradford go tits up I doubt they are under any threat.



Despite what some fans may say about Odsal, the RFL don't appear to have a problem with it.

Looking at the criteria for promotion then Widnes are the only ones that meet them, so that's not a tough question.



In terms of who they will replace, if the criteria were the same it would have to be crusaders as they have gone bust once and are in trouble again this year, I wonder which will be chosen first, the team to be removed or the criteria that are used to decide? I hope we see fair and logical criteria released and confirmed before the decision and that they are the ones used in the decision process, I hope the criteria are strict and that if for example you dont have any "new" ground ready to play in on the day the applications they are not counted as being available.



if we have more teams who could be superleague teams than places in the superleague then it's time for promotion and relegation again please

In: Widnes seem the clear favorites, although based on results, they shouldn't be anywhere near good enough for SL.

Out: Cas or Wakey. First to guarantee a ground will be built will be in.

I dont think they are although they are eligible to apply due to winning the cup.

I thought that Karl Harrison had categorically denied that they wished to come into superleague.

They way Crusaders and Quinns have been protected that won't happen mate.

Doubt Bradford will be in trouble this time around. I would be unhappy to see a recently sucessful side which has hit hard times recently be let to rot.



Cas & Wakey for me
