Leigh.

Play off between London and Fev

Toulouse or Bradford, the last thing super league needs is another Pit village team from Wakefield met (That would be 3) or Wigan borough.

Bradford. Yes they don't deserve it but they are a big club with a big fanbase and the RFL owns the ground. Even low in the table they'd attract thousands.

Toulouse are a good long term option but rushing them in and ruining them in the process isn't a good idea.

The criteria will be very, very interesting and could be set in a way that makes one club very strong favourites.

Are we going for, on field performance and if so, over what time frame.



On field performance - Toulouse, Fev or London
Facilities - Leigh / Widnes
Financial backing - Leigh / Toulouse
Fan base - Bradford / Widnes
Expansion - London / Toulouse
Maybe alphabetical order - Bradford

Something else Anyone who "they" want in

Its certainly going to be interesting

London vs Fev is the fairest way possible, but this week alone RL has proven to have no sporting integrity.

It should be either Toronto or Hull KR should also be kicked out for failing to complete the season, consistency would be nice.

From this list London or Tolouse and they should be exempt from relegation for 2-3 seasons. If we don't want the game to die we have to help it grow. Sorry for Leigh/Fev/whoever but it's getting very close to crunch time.
