I don't think we're in a position to go back up into SL any more. We certainly don't have the team for it. Plus we don't have a ground.

But just for the number of heads that would explode if we got the nod... totally worth it

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

I can see where the clamour from Toulouse comes from and it makes sense in a way, but in regards to players? Toronto will have a few available I guess....

Bull mania at Odsal returns. Next stop the super dome!

Toulouse? I think the Toronto debacle makes Toulouse less likely and even throws the spotlight on Catalans who often turn out with barely six or seven French men in the 17. France RL are possibly worse than when they entered SL and if they both got to a final it'd make the Covid finals this year look packed.

My vote would be for London. The owner has invested loads over many years. They performed with credit in SL last time. If they'd had a stable ground I think there's a case they'd have been a real success story.

Toulouse got their application in quickly. It's almost as if they already knew.

The Featherstone chairman has gone on a bizarre public rant about how the decision to give Toronto the boot was down to self interest and greed from the very people they need to impress with their application that he then went on to confirm they would be submitting.

i think we're better of out of this for a couple of years at least.

Personally, I wouldn't rule anything either in or out. The SL clubs may well have decided amongst themselves the cash is better divided between 11 than 12 but Sky may beg to differ -paying pipers means calling the tune after all.

As for it being us, well I remember talking to a Fax supporting friend a few years back when they were looking good for promotion and he said " No, don't want promotion, it'll kill us, we're not ready". Even though the TV cash is much more now I tend to think the same for the Bulls, to be honest. We're just not ready.

Well whoever gets in is set to receive half the central funding the other clubs do. No thanks. What an old boys club SL has become.

from speed with which Touluse produced their video Id say their a shoo in and have already agreed to the half funding. We cant be considered until we have ground situation sorted.

Not a fan of London going back up. They had their chance and they blew it. I actually think the championship is the perfect place for them to grow and nurture that young squad into something formidable. Jumping up to SL now would probably do them more harm than good.

Featherstone need to give up the ghost. That statement from Campbell actually contained some valid points - which were then completely ruined by him making an embarrassing comment in the last paragraph about Featherstone being the team who should go up :lol:

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

Didn't I call this before? Typical self interest in maintaining the status quo and the same snouts at the trough:
