There would be 1 benefit to increasing to 14 SL teams, and that's the ability to remove the stupid loop fixtures without impacting the amount of home games, with a 27-game home+away+magic season.

It's hard to see how they could afford to fund another 2 clubs without major cuts somewhere else. And cutting League One would not nearly cover 2 more Super League teams. More likely every club's grant funding would have to be reduced across the board.

Wasn’t there talk of Toronto gaining their own tv contract money? Same maybe for Toulouse?

Almost the perfect storm of results at the weekend. Hull won, Rovers lost, Leeds lost, London won. the only downers were Saints robbing Salford with a blatant knock on and London shipping late points which meant Hull KR were spared bottom spot.

How do Hull turn in a performance like that after the impressive performance last week? Especially after they spent the week talking about competing against the Top 2

Leave that crap in Fight Club please mate.
Will do. I couldn’t resist it :grin:

That crowd of just over 30000. I suppose they are happy with that? If they repeat that today it will be 60000 overall which is about right for a good round of superleague.

They are the poster boys for inconsistency!, when they are good they are very very good, but when they are bad they are horrid.
They only need be missing one or two key men and they go completely to pot.
