Bradford
York
Newcastle
Coventry
London B
London S
Toulouse
Toronto
West Wales (Yes I know.. but I am thinking in terms of ANYTHING could be possible)
North Wales
Hemel
Happyflaps
Swinton
Batley
Dewsbury
Doncaster
Sheffield
Widnes et all
You have a much wider scope to attract interest AND you can claim 'Big City RL' which super league can't anymore. Just Leeds in a pile of small towns and small cities.
Leave the SL mob laiking wi themselves as per...
Agree. I love the elite argument the SL clubs are spouting. There are only about 4/5 elite clubs (Leeds,Wigan,Saints and Hull/Warrington) the rest are no better than the lower keague clubs they're all belittling. They just so happen to be in SL at this moment in time. You could replace the rest with lower league clubs and they'd be no difference.
If the RFL had any balls instead of the absolute lemon we have running the sport now, i"d let the SL clubs go on their own. Invite Leeds to join the above comp. Any player that joins the rival SL can't participate in the CC or play for England. The players would be up in arms. The SKY contract is currently with the RFL not SL. The clubs are irrelevant. SKY don't give 2 stuffs about Kr/Wakey/Salford. If the best players are go to a halifax, Leigh, York,- thats the one SKY will pay for rights.
