Tolouse have earned the right but, bit regressive as it is, I’m not wild on the idea of another French side in SL. If Bradford actually have the money it would be useful I think to have a top flight Bradford back. Demographic of region is changing quickly but they have good local support and a history/name and are another derby game. York have had a great season and are a sensible expansion option, although like us they seem to be light on fans. Not sure they’ve done bundles over last few years but again if they have the funds that seems the key.  It’s completely up in the air really but if they do genuinely think a London side in SL is an asset then this is absolutely the right time to take a punt and let us in.

And at the end of that triumphal season, we challenge Bradford & stuff em again. 

The 1895 is our best route to Wembley (Sod’s Law it’s cancelled). It would be funny though if we got Bradford in the Cup and turned them over. Let’s see who we recruit first before we get ahead of ourselves. 

Met with Grant Wechsel and Paul White on Saturday. Really impressed with what they said. 

Talking of RL management decisions. 
I’d somehow managed not to hear Nigel Wood speak but there was an interview with BBC sports guy today so I thought I’d get some value from my licence fee and take a watch. Hmm. You know those execs who people say ‘talk a good game’ or ‘look the part’ but aren’t all that. He’s not that kind of guy us he. And they say the sport is tin pot!
