newbe Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 There seems a deafening silence about league 1 next season from the RFL. How can teams plan signings etc. Does anyone have any news ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabby Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I’m not really sure the RFL can do much with cuts in place. Obviously their main concern is securing something for L1. The lack of funding may see clubs walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinskolar Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 London Skolars are planning to be part of 2022. A lot depends on the success of this: https://www.skolarsrl.com/2021/10/08/the-capital-challenge-is-confirmed-for-2022/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin James Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It's absurd that clubs will be starting pre-season in the next few weeks not knowing what they are competing for, how many teams/what teams will be in the league and what format the fixtures will be in.

Alan Kilshaw at Hunslet did an interview for their youtube channel yesterday and talking about the season said "we don't know how that looks at the moment, in terms of the number of teams we're up in the air. We're not going to play in Ottawa, whether they're going to play in the competition under a different banner, and then we don't know what promotion and relegation looks like". So Hunslet at least don't seem to have the full picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P&R uncertainty isn't specific to League 1, none of the 3 divisions know that yet - SL is even facing the insane prospect of 25% member clubs being relegated (3 down, 1 up to make 2x10). Details are (allegedly) going to be out November/December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be more concerned it what league 5/6 clubs end up in. I’m sure all clubs will know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMrC Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Aparently there will be a league 1 next season but nothing has been decided yet re:promotion etc. Decision was supposed to be made in October but as far as I know nothing.

Well the club's will need to know the amount of funding (if any), number of teams in the division etc. as an absolute minimum, in order to piece together a budget. Without these two basics, budgeting is impossible and even more of a finger in the air job than usual. Currently players are being signed on contracts that may not have any hope of being fulfilled. Same can be said for the Championship too, but it's far more likely that teams won't continue next year in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes absolutely I wouldnt want to run a business (and despite what people say that's what clubs are) without knowing what my budget or financial returns are likely to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthegasman Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 It is an absolute farce and joke that the RFL haven’t decided yet what is going to happen next year and especially what they are or may be playing for,for 2023. They are a sick joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Any news on whether there is a Super League next year? I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

RS Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Given Oldham and Swinton are signing players they intend to make the start line. Are there any clubs looking like they won’t make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
