Salford, 100%.

Why not W1g4n or the Crusaders ?

wakey and salford for widnes and toulose.



if salford really do get their ground sorted then 18 teams.



i dont think 18 teams is good as you dont have the player numbers now for 16 and it will further dilute the playing standard.



but both widnes and toulose should be in next time.

yeah agree, but long term is 20 years plus.



i think SL can handle 4 french SL teams over time and eventually that will provide the basis for the french to have their own fully pro league and not be part of SL.

The playing numbers are less than NZ, do you see NZ having its own NRL in the future?

NZ should have a 2nd NRL side today. the only reason we dont is news ltd.



however, france had its own established league set up, and without vichy and union interfering would be a major sport today. all you are doing today is taking those roots and developing them rather than starting from scratch.



look what les cats have done in SL in their short time. Toulose business plan is actually stronger than Les Cats when they entered.



they have everything going for them



if lewis does bring them in and the NRL stays with 1 NZ team, it tells you how good a leader he is.



we need a club on the central coast, 2 more queensland clubs, another club in NZ, one in PNG and one in perth, plus we need to raise the salary cap by around $1 - $2 million per club, so we need lots more money dont we

toulose as a SL club would easily match Les Cats crowds. the city has a large population over 1 million, lots of big business and a rich backer. apparently the local vichy side arent as antagonistic towards league as the sc*m USAP are.

Why them , what exactly have they done wrong ? , any club being de franchised will be devastated and unlikely ever to build themselves again , how are all the clubs that missed out on the NRL doing in Australia , any of them doing well financially and support wise ?



Not enough money or players for 18 teams

Certainly, imagine if 13,000 started turning up like they did for the international, they would need a little bit of success though. That would be one great derby match though (even though they are quite far appart).

Yep thought thats what it was. Wasn't sure if it was a hand shake agreement or what.....

When did you become positive.

You used to be a right a$$hole on here, Barry must have made you seen the light.
