I did actually allude to that. But to be honest, it is quite simple. You won't broaden interest in RL by promoting more teams from the heartlands, or get a better TV deal or sponsorship. 

so we have to apply for SL next week apparently.  Decision in Oct I think.  Why not I guess?  we are as good a punt as anyone apart from where is the money coming from.

I hope Toulouse get in.  They seem to be the best candidates- players, fans, youth all ticked.  


There's not a hope in hell of Toulouse getting in is there?

I have to say that I was in York last weekend where we met Clint Goodchild owner of York Knights.  He seemed to have things worked out and from what I saw they seem to be nailed on for Super League.
Gary Hetherington by the way has been his mentor since he took over.

Interesting. They do seem ambitious. 

Were you on the club organised weekend trip? How was it?

Yes we were on the club trip to York. I have to say the was a great weekend, Gary and Kath really did us proud.Although it was not cheap, it was well worth the money. .

That's good to hear.  Decent turn out for it?
