Well, if that's where the quality is, who can argue? I suppose we can give a leg up to "the fairer sex" to even things out. They put more women in Parliament as a face saving excerise so i suppose the RFL can put a few runts from this side of the Pennines in. It'll dilute the quality but at least the RL map will look less one sided.

So, you're not too disappointed that in a hot bed area of rugby league Halifax still don't get in?

Even if it's a Halifax/Barrow grand final any teams added to SL in 2012 will be from Widnes, Toulouse or Gateshead. Far too many teams in West Yorkshire as it is.

and 2 of those in SL dont have a good enough ground.

Watch this space.. I believe Salford's ground problems may be about to be resolved and Celtic's move to Newport will satisfy the RFL there. The SL wagons are circling..
