[Time for a third Welsh Team?]

I think a welsh side in RLC National would be the next logical step they could then apply to C1 if/when Scorps gain promotion to Championship, success of Dragonhearts and the appearance of SW Thunder playing friendlies last winter show that there are boys who would choose RL over RU in south wales and also that there are boys of the ability to compete at that level.

The obvious choice would be Gwent due to it being an hour nearer the border than some alternatives, the support Cru got there last year and the density of conference clubs there.

Also think a CRu 20s in SL reserves and a new RLC club with 18s in NYL aswellas a Scorpion team in NYL would be brilliant and secure a production line of sustainable talent.

[An Idea or 2]

yes they would lose money

but fewer games would mean need smaller squad so drop 3overpaid imports from each squad also would save money not travelling as often, would fans spend more at games on food/drink/merchandise if they were paying less often at gate?

More Internationals and rep games would generate more

[An Idea or 2]

and who instead of cas and cats

[An Idea or 2]

No as it is a new league and I believe they would warrant a place in that league as it stands, the single biggest problem RL faces in wales is the money thrown about in Union in Wales, players can earn upwards of
