Better than filling a side with them in this league and playing in front of 3,000 each week though surely isn't it?

I think we'd be fine if go up... the Widnes name still holds some pull with top NRL players (just about) and money there so a few big names coupled with some SL experience add some kids and off we go...

We'll save a seat for your boys don't worry Be good for Leigh (2015?) If someone like Wakey came down as Leigh would then be ahead as a set up as a former SL club and can only look good to the powers that be!

As I have said before I think if Widnes got the nod it would give a glimmer of hope to other heartland sides... 'look get yoursleves financially secure, nice new ground, good youth set up running well, keep it going on the pitch and you have a shot!'

If was Toulouse would just be a big heavy door slamming shut to us all!

It will be a totally different squad for Super League, O'connor will have his cheque book out and we wont standing still thats for sure. A sprinkle of Yoof and we'll be reet.

The ideal setup for Super league would be below, 2 super 10 divisions with a play off of 4 from each division. each league will also have 2 expanison style clubs. The 2 divisions would be split to form more local derby games which would bring in more money for each club. 18 league games with challenge cup and meaningful war of the roses game back on.



Super 10 League A

Widnes
Saints
Wigan
Leigh
Warrington
Catalans
Crusaders
Barrow
Salford
Oldham

Super 10 League B

Halifax
Leeds
Bradford
Cas
Wakefield
Hull
Hull KR
Toulouse
Quins
Huddersfield

you know that would be a great idea, the winner of super 10 a and suber league b play each other at Old Trafford.

hands up who thinks this will happen thuogh.

I can not see this happening though.I can see a Superleague team like Quins going into administration.

Especially if the Lancashire side of the competition was called Super League A and the Yorkshire side Super League B. Then they would learn their place.. or maybe not... we might need to try and teach them the alphabet first I guess.
