This isn’t the silly season Pip. It’s the frigging stupid one.
Superleague probably shot itself in foot.

I'm not sure if the London Broncos have ever said anything about being taken over by the Brisbane Broncos, but i stand to be corrected.English league media is even worse than the Sydney ones
How do they get that wrong
Its The Sun ffs. I wouldn't trust them to wrap my chips in.English league media is even worse than the Sydney ones

Build a grade A club and you are immune from relegation. No more free rides for clubs like London who have had 20 years of Superleague funding and have nothing at all to show for it.Unless they are granted immunity from relegation it would be crazy for anyone to accept it now it would be a poisoned chalice
Any club coming in this late will be certain to get relegatedBuild a grade A club and you are immune from relegation. No more free rides for clubs like London who have had 20 years of Superleague funding and have nothing at all to show for it.
Nope. I can guarantee you Wakefield won’t be relegated end of 2025. Why? Because they’ve built themselves into a strong club off the field. I expect to see Toulouse, bradford and possibly York doing the same over next few years now everyone is very clear and what it takes to get into SL and stay there. After 20 years of SL funding London are still nowhere near being that, get their sht sorted out and earn the place in the grading system.Any club coming in this late will be certain to get relegated
Toulose now have more points than Salford on the img criteria to get in next year and prepare properly
We’re talking about a club coming in now to replace Salford if they fall over for this years super league lolNope. I can guarantee you Wakefield won’t be relegated end of 2025. Why?

Given they are certainties for next year coming in now would mean they would be favourites for relegationDoubtful they’ll fall over, why do you think the RFL is doing everything to get them to the start line?
But let’s say they did, the next strongest club coming up (Toulouse) will likely score higher than salford anyway so will be in for 2026 as well presuming they’ve kept improving more than the likes of Bradford and York.
licensing has done away with having to build a winning team in yr 1 of being in SL.
Do you even understand how the grading system now works? Toulouse could be parachuted in if Salford falls over, finish bottom in 2025 with no wins and still be safe in 2026 if they have scored higher than salford, Bradford or york. Which with SL money, SL crowds and SL interest they are pretty much guaranteed of doing.Given they are certainties for next year coming in now would mean they would be favourites for relegation
Salford failing has been mentioned as a possibility
Salford should sell players they will run last and get relegated
Time in the champ will be good
Why risk it this year with two weeks preparation when next year you have a whole off seasonDo you even understand how the grading system now works?

No club is turning down 1 million quid and SL exposure lol you could rush a team together and still get a stronger grade at end of 2025 for 2026 than if you stayed in championship.Why risk it this year with two weeks preparation when next year you have a whole off season
Imagine having to put together a super league squad now with no pre season together
