Of course you'd know more than RFL and IMG about what a Sl club should be lol

Super league can’t support the number of teams in the m62
So the answer is swapping them for clubs with lower appeal? Hmmm sounds a great strategy.
When you start advocating for the culling of Sydney clubs to bring in perth and Adelaide and brisbane 3 I’ll take you seriously.

Clubs who get 3 to 4K in super league don’t really have much appeal

toulose will double that easily

London would beat it too

Bradford would more then double

have Wakey been missed from super league ?

would hudds be missed ?

Heck if it wasn’t for the derby do they really need kr

If the only criteria was crowds you’d have point, but it isn’t so you dont.

hudds avg’d 5,247 last season. Wakey have already sold 6k season tickets for next season in championship. Toulouse in 2022 in SL avg’d 4,974. Your argument is poorly constructed.

Unlike nrl there is a clear pathway for any club with Superleague ambitions, including the ones you’ve named.

yeh getting rid of an A grade club makes total sense, in your head only lol

Putting teams in places most people in England have never heard of in place of major cities isn’t a smart strategy

Sydney is like London

a major city which supports many teams of its popular football code

there’s a reason the tv deal in England keeps shrinking it’s the footprint

The pathway for any city to join exists.
Build a club, get an A grade, you're in SL.
The doors now open at least in SL.

Nrl doesn’t have p and r

imagine a club like the broncos being relegated for Newtown
Imagine keeping in a club like Manly when you could have a club like Perth. You seem to want SL to be open to new clubs at the expense of existing clubs, but not same for NRL?

Manly over Perth any day

bears too

nrl has a huge geographic footprint already

super league doesn’t

png will be the next nrl club as you are well aware.

No bears in nrl but Perth

no London in super league but hull kr•
•replace London with Newcastle Sheffield etc
Did you see the gradings and what London got? If someone wants to spend ten years and pump in millions to get London/Newcastle/Sheffield etc up the level of HKR, great they'll be in.
