The Future is League

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

I can't think of any Chanpionship club at the moment who could survive the Super League season without some sort of funding, from the RFL or TV contract, can you?

The more i read about the rasing of of the overseas quota the more believe it hasn't beem thought through by those in power. The future of British Rugby League is not has beens and never was players from down under its, junior development, junior devlopment, junior developement

100% agree.

Cop out is the right word to describe clubs who only pay lip service to junior development.

Lets hope other clubs follow Leeds example, and we could soon find out which clubs value junior development, and others looking for the lazy easy option.

Exactly my point.
