This time next week, bottoms will be twitching up and down Rugby League land as the RFL announces who has been successful in securing a Super League licence for 2009-2011. Looking at other teams boards, and, in particular, those who are close but not certain to either getting one or not, paranoia is setting in as the date moves closer.
Who do you reckon will get the other spots? Surely 2 from 3:
Salford - widnes - Celtic
I'd go for Salford and widnes. Just. But I could be swayed. I'd be interested to hear from some of our more famous forumistas
Wire 71 - will his egalitarian tendencies affect his judgment?
WOTT - is it all just bandwagon jumping?
Sally - can he give a straight answer or do we have to believe the opposite of what he posts?
Cockney - will his 30k a year IT mean he plumps for the rich french team?
St Maca - is he gay?*
Cas to miss out on basis of (a) poor ground with no redevlopment plans concrete & (b) what they have brought to the comp in recent years - think Wakey just edge above them in stakes of being competitive in last 5 years.

I'd like to find a way to get Celtic in but I can't justify leaving Salford or widnes out to let them in. Yet.
Having said that, widnes' insolvency will count against them and the apparent uncertainty surrounding Salford's ground (real or imagined, but there are some confusing messages knocking about) may hamper them.
