Ainley Top Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 On 04/11/2020 at 18:52, Blind side johnny said: I hear that whoever gets invited will only be offered £1M of TV money. The interesting feature is that it is the SL that is offering a place in their league, on application, yet the decisions about who is or isn't eligible for promotion theoretically lies with the RFL. I would think the 'lucky' club has already been chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But,if they were that well funded wouldent they still be here,? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieone Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Were has this information come from about the million pound share is it fact or just another RL rumour?. I agree with you Ainley that the preference has already been debated by the Super League clubs and I can safely bet Batley will not have been in the frame. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested clubs have been invited to apply and their applications will be considered by an "independent" panel. Maybe Kevin is filling in the forms already?

Ok fev have thrown brass at success past 5 years but I'll go with toulouse for the next invitation.... I can fully understand why most championship spectators want Toulouse to get the gig.

Blind side johnny Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Now it has been revealed that only clubs who have finished in the top six in the Championship in 2018 and 2019 are eligible to apply. That brings it down to seven clubs. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
