The NRL would probably scrap the cup and all non SL clubs would be feeder second teams. Clubs would have to merge and London, Newcastle would be jettisoned into SL. This is all inpalatable to some and it is making me laugh watching people championing the very thing they have been fighting off for 30 years

Other than when a pizza literally flew at Sir Alex Ferguson after Utd stopped their invincible run at 49 games at Old Trafford. Pizza after the game to replace the massive calorie defecit of the 7-8k running that Football players run on average ina soccer match.

We have never got close to selling out Wembley since the capacity increased to 90k The problem is its too big for the RL audience. After saying that all kinds of football games are held there and dont come close to selling out and the players and fans just enjoy the day out. Be interested to see what attendance a Saints vs Wigan final got (or Leeds) when neith clubs are playing in Paris or Vegas etc.. For me the women should play after the night before with free entry if you have a ticket to the mens game or a Broncos season ticket

So a relegated club cannot keep the same squad, what happens to contracted players?

It depends on budget, business class with a top hotel will be more expensive than economy in a cheaper hotel.

I think it is a good comparison as it shows you can play about with the dimensions within a range. They could quite easily do 6m but chose a larger dimension.

Its 6-11 as there is leeway and you can increase as suits. Dont think we should move away from a tolerence just because a lot of clubs choose to shorten the distance to the minimum. Also how do you know that clubs have it at 6m and not 6.5, 7 etc.. Are you aware not all pitches are 100m long and the width also differs, in your opinion should these be a set size or are you ok with these being set as tolerences

The whole vegas thing is to promote the NRL not SL. If it was to promote RL then Australia would be playing England, New Zealand, Tonga etc.. Its to promote the NRL. If they want English league clubs to go they should at least cover the costs. Just 10,000 fans each paying 25 quid is 250,000 so stumping up 75k per team still leaves a tidy profit. Infact they could let the english club sell the tickets and keep 25% of the ticket price which would not only fund the travel but encourage tickets sales from the travelling team. Not sure why any business would agree to work for free, would the players actually travel and play if they didnt get paid for the trouble?

Leeds also own the stadium so will have operational costs but 1 less game to generate income. A club that rents a stadium will actually save money and if its at a time of year where soccer is being played will actually help scheduling etc.. It makes more sense for a club that doesnt own a stadium ie Wigan to be the home team at these type of things, with Warrington, Leeds, Saints etc being the aeay team. That being said if 20,000 fans go from SL then the costs of the 2 travelling teams should also be covered. Its crazy to suggest that SL clubs should be out of pocket

Bradford sold their own product last year?

Most other sports will use money generated from the national team as central funding to redistribute. What we are talking about is 14 businesses getting a tv deal selling their product. This should be split 14 ways. I dont think its even split 14 ways currently and people want it splitting further! IMO if we go with a joint venture with a championship club then whole academy set up should be at the champ club. IMO womens teams should also be a priority at champs clubs. It worked for York

So you see sense!! Have a great day

So the money they earn from being on tv? Can I have some money from the tv deal from tyson furys last fight? I guess no because it was nothing to do with me.. Can i have some of your wages from today? Guess you dont want to give me some of the money you earned.. Where does central funding come from and how much did SL clubs get vs championship

What money do they keep? The money they earn? Championship clubs are entitled to keep the money they earn too.
