The Future is League

Will Nige pay back the compensation he got when he left the RFL a little while back?

Exactly

Exactly

I wouldn't rely on the RFL to prepare any team from outside the so called heartlands for entry into League 1, and my money would be that any new teams outside the heartlands would be expected to pay travelling costs of visiting teams, and that's why in my opinion it would be foolish for any clubs outside the M62 corridor to apply to join league 1.

And nowhere else We really must have the most incompetent sporting body in the UK by a country mile.

Don't jest. I wouldn't put anything past what the RFL would do. Minimum effort with minimum costs is there blueprint for the game in this country.

Winner. Dolphins. Roosters. Panthers. Raiders. Bulldogs. Storm. Tigers. Knights. Points. 322. Away wins. 1 Poll. Bulldogs v Dragons

Sadly that's true, and just shows how far the game has gone backwards in this country with the people at the RFL not interested in expanding outside the M62 corridor. Zero interest in junior development, and want Catalan Dragons and Toulouse to pay visiting teams travelling costs, despite them teams having a home games against the Catalan Dragons and Toulouse. I wonder how long it will be before the RFL want to make teams from outside the M62 corridor pay visiting teams expenses?

Exactly, but can afford money for has beens and never was players from down under.

Are they definitely in Super League for 2026 as I've seen no confirmation of that?

Not if you don't get any TV money, and the rise in wages which will happen when you bring in supposed better players.

Well said Ian Blease.

I didn't think they had any money to build a Super League team. Not unless they are expecting a cash windfall from somebody or something.

That sounds a hell of a gamble to me
