Crusaders should be the first team to go because, let's be honest, they're not really a licensed Super League club.
The organisation currently playing out of Wrexham bears no real relationship to the one which was granted a licence for 2009-11. That one went pop after just one season. The idea that licences (not franchises, by the way) can be passed around during the licence period is ludicrous. The RFL are meant to have done due diligence on the applications but clearly they were hoodwinked by Celtic Crusaders. This is not a pop at the idea of having a Welsh Super League club in the future. And the demise of Celtic does not PROVE that it will never be viable, as some would have it. But it does prove that this particular bid - the Celtic Crusaders one - wasn't viable.
The only reason (Wrexham) Crusaders got the go-ahead was because the RFL was left with egg on it's face. What we now have is a Super League club that never even applied for a licence. So much for the concept of licensing and all the hoops the RFL say they're making the clubs jump through to prove they're viable and sustainable. If licensing is to regain (or should that be just 'gain') credibility, Crusaders have to be first in the firing line.

How the hell does Super League money go towards building a new ground? If we had a rich backer I could see your point but we don't.

The money that we get from Sky goes directly to funding a squad suitable for SL.

No such team applied. HTH

Y'see that's one of the problems about discussions on thei license system: people believe any old crap they hear. And then repeat as an argument against licensing.

AFAIK Licensing makes you fat and gives you spots. It also makes applicant clubs appear ten times the club they actually are. 24 hour licensing hasn't really worked either, neither did dog licenses. However, driving licenses do work, as do wedding ones. Mixed bag really.

Why do people want to see HUGE leagues in the future? There'd be so many boring games with no real intensity or emotion.

I'd like to see smaller, high-quality leagues personally. I'd also like to see an extended WCC, and maybe even a 2nd tier world comp (like football have the Europa League, but obviously ours would be more worldly!).

Actually, I agree with the post above. I think something like MLS does, with there 'SuperLiga' with Mexico's League, giving something to play for for mid-tabled clubs. Perhaps we could have a pre-season tournament for the NRL's 3-8th teams, and the Super Leagues 3-8th Teams, acculminating in a Super Cup or Something. Also, I'd like to see them try the WCC re-organized into a 1v2 2v1 competition, leading into a final. It would give it more meaning.
