14 Team SL and Merged Championship?

[Perth Red]

It doesn’t suggest anything other than it’s a short-term positive position and they’re moving in the right direction. That alone isn’t enough to suggest they’re on a solid financial footing when their medium and long term financial history (10-15 years) has been horrific.

It’s typical short-termism from rugby league. “You’ve made a profit for two years? Come in lads” and “hey, remember when 20,000 watched Bradford 25 years ago?” is the sort of working mens club thinking that has us where we are.

Well London were pretty much bust until a few weeks ago so best leave them in championship for a few years to see eh? Toulouse? struggling after 20% funding cut from local council. York? Nah went bust in 2016. you seem to be cherry picking

They weren’t so yeah, that’s some comparison, you wank sock.

No. Where do I say that I believe it was a conspiracy. I have said MANY believe it to be a hatchet job and a Bradford inclusion is going to fan the flames of conspiracy.

You’re thicker than a submarines door.

You literally said if Bradford get 12th ‘it will confirm’ it’s a hatchet job lol

are you saying if Bradford get 12th you feel they are legitimately getting a SL place fair and square? You seem confused.

Did you see their squad this year? They were hardly flush with cash lol. Resorting to insults now, seems you’re getting a bit flustered lol

They’re in.

Above Cas, Huddersfield and Salford. That is one ridiculous jump without ever winning the Championship or being in Super League over the ranking period.

The final scores and what they’ve ranked highly on will be interesting.

 

[England87]

Jesus. What a joke.

 

[Taking The Two]

Those suspecting that Toulouse aren’t getting in will be vociferous until Friday. That was always the fear when Wood returned. It may be coming to fruition now.

Rumoured bulls have got 10th spot, squeaky bums at hudds and cas if true!

 

[Taking The Two]

Toulouse being reported as in. They’re willing to accept no central funding and pay for teams to complete their fixture list with flights and accommodation to France.

That’s messed up they deserve the funding more than Bradford of not winning the championship or making the grand final fame.

That's insane.

That's insane.

Catalans do the same every single year and Toulouse did it in 2022 when they were in Super League. It’s not right and I think the two should tell the other clubs to fulfil their own fixture list but sadly, it’s a working mens club mentality and if it’s beyond the end of their noses, someone else should pay and anyone strange or different should be penalised.

 

[Taking The Two]

York reported as 14th and in, too. As yet, it’s just rumour on Toulouse and York but those two should be in anyway. It’s just Bradford that is going to put noses out of joint.

Yeah, it's crazy.

ARL had Perth doing the same in the mid 90s.

That's an absolute recipe for disaster if true.

Is there private backing for Toulouse?

Magic!! Nigel Woods club jumping 5 places overnight in grading!! Nothing to see here folks...

 

[jolly boys outing]

Sounds like super league are trying to financially ruin Toulouse like the western reds.
