I'm not bothered about what happens in other sports. Put the full timers in the Championship into superleague so they'd have some proper competition. Below superleague keep it semi pro and a more even playing field. If your not bothered about other sports with the way rugby league is going at the moment you might not have anything to watch. I was listening to Adam Pearson on bbcs rugby league podcast and he had some pretty valid points. The games knackered mate unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OL14.yeds Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 5th tier football, National League, has a mix of pro and semi pro teams. There’s even been clubs paying full time contracts in the league below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below superleague keep it semi pro and a more even playing field. Full-time London shipped 60+ points to Toulouse and Fev, and have just been well beaten by Whitehaven, but you want London in SL? In fact, any team that fancies a crack at SL with all the Sky money just has to go full time and you'd put them in? Quite apart from anything else, how are you going to persuade the 12 SL clubs to expand to 14/16/whatever teams and share out their share of the Sky cash? Be careful what you wish for, because what you are advocating would be likely to lead to some derivative of the 2 x 10 leagues, where the likes of Oldham, Swinton, Whitehaven would be cut off forever in a 3rd division with zero central funding.

shaw llewellyn Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I have to agree with blind side johnny. Nothing is a level playing field. In the Premier League in football Norwich are not in the same bracket as Chelsea. In Superleague, Wakefield are on a different level to Warrington. It is always about the owners with the most money and always has been. It just so happens that we are one of the clubs with no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that suggeston has been dismissed though hasn't it, for now? They're not going to suddenly dispense with 2 teams from SL, or deny promotion, at this stage.
