| A lifelong Bulls fan, Nigel Woods, proposes a new structure that gets the Bulls back in the top flight via the only way possible. Or maybe I'm just being cycnical.Broadly, I prefer it, and I agree the Bulls should be in there. They get the crowds, and some new concrete terracing and a roof would Odsal atmospheric. But if London AND Toulouse both get in, nothing is added to the fan experience, and two of the 13 home games would have a poorer atmosphere than in under the current structure. For me, Bulls, York, and London or Oldham. Another idea for me is that the Magic weekend should be scrapped, but every club should have an extra fixture, the same as what would be the Magic fixture, and they are obliged to take it on the road. 7 games a year in new areas. Scotland, Ireland, the south-west, etc.

I expect this move to dock Salford 8 points for fielding a weakened side a bit back is part of the plan to get them out of SL as it would lower their total IMG points. Their owners are clearly very unreliable, displaying all the red flags I remember from 2012-2019 at the Bulls.
Matthew Shaw's article yesterday seemed to say Bradford were assured of a place in the 14 but it made a lot of assumptions. Personally I can't see both Toulouse and London going into the 14 team SL. One of them yes. Definitely not both. On the field York and Toulouse deserve a shot.

If it has to be Bradford, then it also has to be York.

Agreed. They're a good side and have a nice stadium.

It’ll be Toulouse via IMG (check their data from last year and this year), then Bradford and London via the ‘independent panel’. I can explain why but I don’t think anyone cares.

Having a nice stadium or a good team isn't the point of IMG.
It is trying to establish financially stable with growth potential.
The stadium, finances and social media type checks establish that.
So I'm not sure what else an independent group is going to use to decide.
