00:00yeah
00:06Sam C
00:07like what Pete said there
00:09Toulouse
00:09seemingly just earning
00:11their spot in Super League
00:12now especially with
00:13the 0.25
00:14but
00:14they're going to be
00:16really hard to ignore
00:17are they
00:17it seems to be
00:18Toulouse and
00:19two others
00:20maybe York
00:21one of them
00:21and
00:22between Bradford and London
00:23maybe for the last spot
00:24yeah
00:26I think one of the
00:27one of the reasons
00:29there's lots of
00:29reasons behind the move
00:30to 14
00:31but one of them was
00:32the genuine fear
00:34among some of the
00:35club owners that
00:36Toulouse would come up
00:37on IMG naturally
00:38I don't think
00:40that certain club owners
00:41wanted
00:42a sixth of the
00:44central funding
00:44going to France
00:45where they believe that
00:46they don't get anything
00:47back etc
00:47which I mean that's a
00:49claim to discuss
00:50for another day
00:51but I think that's
00:52one of the reasons
00:52why 14 was approved
00:53so that
00:54percentage wise
00:55money wasn't
00:56not as much
00:56was going to France
00:57I think
00:59yeah they were
00:5913th last year
01:00Salford are going to
01:01lose points
01:02Toulouse are going to
01:02gain points
01:03it's
01:03unless
01:04someone behind
01:05makes a big leap
01:06to lose luck
01:07to be in the 12
01:08and then yeah
01:09you've got
01:09effectively a
01:10three-horse race
01:11between York
01:12Bradford and
01:12London
01:13but
01:13London are only
01:14being considered
01:15obviously because of
01:16Gary Hetherington
01:17and then the
01:17Australian
01:18involvement
01:18they finished
01:1910th I think
01:19on the
01:20championship
01:21the squad
01:23at the moment
01:23if you look at it
01:24it's nowhere near
01:24Super League
01:25they've said that
01:26they're going to be
01:27bringing in some
01:28NRL names etc
01:29but
01:29they've got a lot
01:30to do
01:31and I think
01:31that's kind of
01:33where this whole
01:33process is a little
01:34bit
01:35I don't want to
01:36use the word shady
01:37but it's because
01:38it's behind closed
01:38doors in terms of
01:39the independent panel
01:40and
01:41you're looking at
01:42the sustainability
01:43the finances
01:44and projections
01:45projections are
01:47kind of a little
01:47bit hard to
01:48really nail down
01:50it's
01:51there's not
01:52really a
01:53there's obviously
01:56numbers behind it
01:57but it's kind of
01:57we will do this
01:58we will do that
01:59and you're kind of
01:59taking promises
02:00obviously those
02:01promises you say
02:02are more
02:03reliable now
02:04you've got
02:05Australian backing
02:06but
02:06you can't put
02:08a London team
02:09up that are
02:09going to have
02:10the squad
02:11comparable to
02:12what they have
02:12now
02:13they need
02:1310
02:1520
02:1510-15 players
02:16I mean
02:16Jordan Williams
02:17one of their
02:17props is going
02:18to Wakefield
02:18I'm sure
02:19they'll have
02:20other players
02:20picked away
02:21as well
02:21so
02:22I think
02:24that their
02:25challenge is
02:26proving that
02:28and then obviously
02:28Bradford's
02:28challenge is
02:29it's just the
02:30stadium isn't it
02:31like you can't
02:33you can't
02:34help that in
02:34Super League
02:34but it seems
02:36like that
02:36potential is
02:36going to be
02:36their way
02:37so
02:37yeah I think
02:38Toulou's probably
02:39the winning
02:41that
02:41makes it really
02:42really hard to
02:43deny them
02:43and if you do
02:44deny them
02:44it probably
02:45I think
02:45Sylvan Hills
02:46said it's
02:46now or never
02:46like what
02:47more can
02:47they do
02:48so
02:48and he's
02:49right
02:49if they get
02:50ignored now
02:50then
02:51it looks like
02:52there's an
02:52agenda there
02:53but I think
02:55it is hard to
02:56pick one of the
02:57four teams
02:58to not be in
02:59thanks for
03:06joining us
03:06please like and
03:07share and
03:08we'll see you
