SL Franchise?

Question

Widnes harshly done to or fair enough? Did the right sides get picked, I think everyone knew Celtic were in though.

Answer 1

Not really many surprises. I don't think Celtic Crusaders should have been chosen though. I think Toulouse should have been picked. Catalans are still the only foreign side i think. =]

Answer 2

Yeah, it was a given that the Crusaders would get in, as the RL feel that the game needs to be expanded into Wales. I don't think Widnes will be too happy about the decision, but they have been in SL before but went straight back down if I remember rightly. What's done is done now, just hope the 2 new teams of Celtic & Salford can match the ever increasing pace and skill of Super League. :o)

Answer 3

imo Fax /Widnes i would have picked before them and im a whitehaven fan. the history in our teams goes back years not a couple. I dont think Toulouse should go in either theres talk about them going right in NL1 they should start in NL2 like everyone else.Wheres the next team going to be from scotland / ireland ?

Answer 4

no surprises.
