Agree but if you dont where does that leave the clubs outside SL now ?

Im not Sure what the expansionist dream in 2009 has added..................probably nothing, and yet , they(whoever they are) would have you believe it is a success.................Lets not believe the total fallacy that is Welsh Rugby League

Or the one that somehow Widnes (or Leigh for that matter) are ever going to be contenders again.
A prediction for you..... Crusaders will win a major trophy long before either of our teams will.

Bookies offering 6/4 on them finishing bottom this year. Looks a good bet as even if it just comes down to their visit to Wales points difference will play into the Crusaders hands but I think Celtic will pick up 2 or 3 other wins....not convinced Salford will.

Making a case for a 16 (or more) team Super League...?

30 games plus play offs (and perhaps a Edinburgh/Cardiff type weekend) ???

Can see some greedy club treasurers going for it but coaches and players perhaps not

Possibly , but in my opinion we dont have 12 let alone 14 SL clubs at the moment and are unlikely to have them in 3 years time

Plus once you go past the 14 mark the fixtures become a bit of a problem

No doubt the RFL will have a ' plan ' for every eventuality

Kyle Eastmond is injured. He played over 10 games last and impressed for the league winners and Challenge cup winners.

saints will be in the top 4 under the benefit of wayne bennetts coaching.

souths stand a good chance at the top 8

but we did franchising 10 years ago, why is it being mentioned now

You're assuming everyone at home and everyone away once (+ magic) but the precedent for not doing that has already been set. Sure, it'd be nice and there's probably and optimum number for an RL league, but IMHO expansion with preservation is a far more important priority.
