[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 291682"] It's been positive in many ways Dayle. I think the Welsh team has improved because of it, I daren't think where we'd be if it was still clubs. It also allowed the Celtic/Magners League to be formed with the Irish and Scottish, this also couldn't have been formed if Wales still had 9 clubs. There has been a big fall out in the vallays of Bridgend and Ponty, but it's tough to see what could have been done to save the Celtic Warriors. If the team was failing finantially, even though on the field they were playing fantastically well, where were all the supporters? It's their fault, and their fault only that the Warriors didn't survive, especially considering at the time the WRU was also struggling with spiralling dept! Anyway, this thread is about Rugby League. Stupid idea. A super league team had a chance of drawing enough traditionally union supporters to watch them, but a league 1 side has no chance I'm sorry. It's just not popular enough in Wales. [/QUOTE]
