So The cats out of the bag but not out of SL if you believe the latest from the NRL supposed SL take over .
Les Dragons & TO look to be safe under a new 10 team SL with us , Rovers , Leeds , Wigan , Wire, Saints plus two more with possibly London been one.
33% stake is the call from the NRL for full administrative control .
Not seeing the benefit of cutting Wakefield adrift when they've had some 8k gates (with good away followings admittedly) also maybe just maybe a smaller ground (in Halifax and eventually back home) is what Huddersfield need to build. Cas also get solid gates compared to the Championship clubs.
What is putting Toulouse in adding except more travel costs? French TV barely pay a euro for the rights.
London have tried and failed for 40 years, even Richard Branson couldent crack it and ive always found the idea that fans down south will tune in just because theres an unsucessful club with 2k crowds on the the TV far fetched.
I'd just swap Salford for Bradford and keep the same format.
I guess it comes down to how much $ . The SL clubs are loosing millions per season and can't sustain these losses for much longer . We also have a weak governing body that allows the chairmen with self interest to walk all over it .
The game is heading towards another civil war with pot shots already starting from some within the game . The game needs a strong governing body with leadership and a clear direction ,to start balancing the books and to finally make money and take away the power from the current system were the chairmen are dictating the norm .
