1 hour to go till the announcement. Will they have the bottle to turn
down any of the current super league teams? My guess is not, and they
will add Salford and Celtic. I personally would have liked to see
Toulouse as well, but it's unlikely.

As was generally anticipated....Salford and Celtic Crusaders,
along with presumably the Super League 12

I suppose you'd like to see Marseille playing in the English FA Premier
League too? ;-)

Much though I've enjoyed the flavour brought to SL by Catalans, I'm not
convinced that playing the best side (of Aussies) in France against English
clubs week in week out will do much to enhance the overall position of the
game in France.
