SUPER LEAGUE clubs have organised a meeting for Friday, November 21 to discuss and possibly vote on how many clubs should be in their competition.

League Express understands that Super League (Europe) Limited, the company in which all Super League clubs are shareholders, called the meeting last Friday, giving the requisite 14 days’ notice.

If the clubs are going to increase the size of Super League to 15 clubs – with London Broncos poised to step in – the motion will need to be carried by a simple majority.

And the clubs will also consider the agreement hammered out in Sydney between the NRL and RFL, which will facilitate a partnership with the NRL that will result in the Australian body taking a stake in RL Commercial.

The NRL would also make an investment thought to be around A$60 million into Super League, with a significant majority of that funding going to the clubs themselves, but with some held back to help fund an improvement in Super League’s marketing strategy.

And the meeting could be brought forward, League Express understands, even to later this week if a majority of clubs agree to it without the standard 14-day notice period.

This follows an outline of the NRL investment deal being approved by the RFL board last Thursday.

Final approval on the whole substance of the agreement, which will only begin for the 2028 season, will be sought from clubs at an RFL Council meeting in December.
