It is a shame and an extremely difficult decision to choose between CC, Salford and Widnes. In then end I'd have gone with what they have.
But Widnes if they can show sensible financial management over the next 3 years will be extremely well placed I would imagine when the next licences are up.
Wakefield would be in trouble I'd imagine if it doesn't further its ground plans by that stage. Its been promising a new ground for 10 years. Same goes if Cas, Salford stadium plans go south.
Celtic's ground is the main weakness and its location in a small former mining town. I would hope they will address the former over the next 3 years - one of the ideas of licensing is to enable teams to make longer term decision - build a ground knowing it has some stability.
