Warrington Cheshire Wolves - Warrington and Widnes. Merseyside. 1 , ST Helens Liverpool Saints- ST Helens And Widnes. i have given Widnes and Halifax two possible teams. How about Catalans and Toulouse merge to form a French super club, the South France Guillotines. Why have you excluded them from your ten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dboy Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 7 hours ago, Veridical said: Missed you, Superten. Great ideas — I would just tweak the Wakey franchise’s name to Wakefield FC Roving Tigers, just to mash all three existing clubs identities in there. All 3 clubs are in Wakefield, so just need a catchy suffix that means "three", to represent there being 3 clubs in the merger. I don't know, something like..."Trinity" maybe? I can live with that. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was terrible in 1995 and worse now. We had two mergers, both failed and nearly bankrupted the clubs. Like it or not we have a sport which is very strong in the current areas in which it is played. Just like RU is strong in its own areas. We really need investment in the areas of strength and continue to grow from within. SL and the championship need more varied games rather than continual loop fixtures. a super league and championship of 16 teams each (or similar numbers) would be far more enjoyable.

The first big Problem is with the stadium location, unless its in a totally neutral venue then it basically becomes a takeover and the club becomes a representative of the town its based in not a merger.
