[QUOTE="Vambo, post: 204584"] For me there are 3 realistic contenders from outside the current 12 SL clubs: Celtic Crusaders Salford City Reds Widnes Vikings Personally I would like to see Widnes in SL. Cracking stadium, excellent new owner with money to burn and one of RL's great names. Salford will be in there because the RFL are not gonna give up on Manchester and leave it purely for Sale to try and woo punters. New stadium on the way which brings all the extra business and crowds as we've seen in Warrington & Hull since they moved out from the dumps they were festering in. Celtic Crusaders - For me it's now or never. I know there has been many false dawns and missed opportunities but if we continue to wait until they're 'ready' then we will be forever waiting. I watched their academy team play East Lancs Lions a few weeks back and I can verify that there is some good, young Welsh talent with lots of potential. I think Celtic & Salford will get the nod but Widnes IMO fully deserve a place in SL which isn't gonna happen unless one of the existing SL clubs gets the boot. [/QUOTE]
