Quote ="wrencat1873"Not sure mate but, they do seem to be getting plenty of oxygen when these things are discussed on Sky.
To reward a club with their recentish past, when others have been banging on the door of promotion for many seasons would just be wrong.
Mind you, this is RL and we do like to be "innovative" (reckless).
Will it be the same goons that brought us the 3 x 8 nonsense that set any of the criteria ?
For me, there are 4 worthy candidates
Fev - unfortunately they are too close to Cas and Trinity to get the nod
Leigh - good shout and would very likely be competitive
Toulouse - something new and would allow everyone to say that expansion is still the way forward
London - unlucky to get relegated and lose their place to Toronto
You could also put a case forward for Widnes but, their fans behaved abysmally on multiple occasions last time they were in SL and they havent really reached the heights on the field.
Bradford, not close to gaining promotion and this shouldn't reward a mid table championship club
York, too soon and they were struggling a little pre lockdown
Halifax, like Bradford, currently a mid table club'"
Just out of curiosity, beyond the pitch invasion at Leigh can you tell me about the other incidents with Widnes fans ?
