Pick 8 from the list, let's see what everyone thinks. No club loyalties!
I've had to take 6 teams out to allow the poll to be created, so i've taken the obvious Saints, Wigan, Leeds, Bradford, Hull and Warrington off the poll as they are pretty obviously going to get a franchise.

Harder than I thought it was going to be that!

Own up, who voted for Batley

It picks itself really. All 13 stay in, Widnes join them. One team from Wakey, Cas and Salford will go. I suspect Salford.

Not me, but I like Mount Pleasant!

they need to drop (at least) 1 west yorkshire team, IMO. I like the principle of Barrow, Toulouse and Widnes coming in but only Widnes could generate decent crowds realistically

In my opinion, Barrow will be a big threat in 2016. Rich backer, better stadium/facilities and a huge potential for supporters.

Struggled to pick eight teams I thought would add something to Super League.
In the end I went for;

Castleford
Catalans
Crusaders
Hull K.R.
Toulouse
Widnes

That'll happen

Huddersfield, Cataland and Crusaders are nailed on. Hull KR should also survive, and Widnes will be the new addition with Leigh, Halifax, Barrow and Toulouse all future possibilities.

I'd say it's between Salford, Castleford, Wakefield and Quins who should make way for Widnes. If the criteria is to stay the same then it's likely to Salford

Good point!

Have Cas or Wakey sorted a ground out yet? Salfords started this week, which puts them in the driving seat if you ask me. Widnes, Leigh and Fax have all got Super League standard stadiums too.
