    from superleague i'd use the following grounds - Saints, Wigan, Warrington, Huddersfield, Hull, Salford (new one), wrexham for wales games, and throw in rochdale, doncaster and widnes from the NL

    quite simply stadiums like hull kr, cas, wakefield and bradford are anywhere near the standard required


    I have to say Wheldon Road is one of the best grounds to watch a game at . Right on top of the action.

    Leeds is a genuine big city, like Manchester, Birmingham etc. It would be foolish to ignore it given that there are potentially tens of thousands of people there who would fill Elland Road if a big game was played there.
    Leeds has a population of 430 plus thousand...Hull 301 plus but with more R L fans.

    Agreed.

    But another stadium would have been nice. Elland Road is a drab place.
