RFL 'sceptical' of Orcas bid

09 January 2007
New Zealand Rugby League acting chairman Andrew Chalmers told The Sunday Star-Times that the Wellington-based Southern Orcas hoped to enter Super League in 2009.
Lewis said Chalmers broached the subject at the recent World Club Challenge in England but he remained "highly sceptical" about the prospect and said: "The idea has been mentioned but I can't see how it could possibly work. I asked them to give us some details and I haven't heard anything since."
The RFL plan to increase Super League from 12 to 14 teams when a franchise system comes in by 2009 but the options for any expansion are likely to be restricted to south Wales, a second team in France and possibly Cumbria.
