My first reaction was delight at the prospect of a seat rather than the crumbling terraces of Odsal. :lol:

Think it's the right decision, they seem to have a decent ish squad, good support and a nice ground.

I’ve nothing against Leigh, but this is hardly an inspiring decision.

Another club within 10 miles of Saints, Wigan, Warrington and Salford. Let’s stay on the M62 and stick with our declining TV and sponsorship revenues.

They said it was partly because of their stadium. I’d have gone with Toulouse, their stadium and set up looked excellent.

You've studied all the applications in great detail, I assume?






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Few points.

With a lot of people talking about expanding the sport. I think we should first make the sport and the clubs we already have strong. Get them in a good position, financially, with sponsorships etc build on what we already have. Once that has been done, 2/3 strong divisions, with proper league structure, such as promotion and relegation. Ince that's done, only then look to expand.

I wont try to know finances of the clubs that applied for the super league.
But for me, which ever club has the best financial backing, with money to spend on the squad to be competitive, who will have fans that will attend home and away games (when allowed to) bringing something to our sport. Whichever club can afford to run an academy team (when they decide to run one again), then they would get my vote. Whether that be Leigh (which we now know it is) york (who I would've liked) or Bradford etc.

If taking fans away to games was in the criteria Huddersfield and Wigan would get booted out!
