NRL to buy share of Super League

Hey you guys

Bradford and Toulouse would be a good start.
Both would be cheap. Huge populations
Easy money. Yes you’d spend a few millions but you suddenly have 500k populations in two countries. I like the idea of nrl clubs partnering with super league teams.
Bradford have the population, the history and grassroots infrastructure already in place and while Toulouse would be a tougher nut to crack I think the returns would be better and I think any money invested within the club would go a lot further.

Superleague turned down an offer from Hearn to promote the sport in the past.

Eddie Hearn devaluing it so he can buy it on the cheap I'm told.
The Hearns way.

Did he want all of it or just a piece?!
My understanding is he wants it all, while the RFL/Super League wanted him to promote events like the Magic weekend, Challenge cup and Grand Final.
Time will tell no doubt and how would this tie in with the way IMG wants the UK game to go?

IMG just want to be paid. They have no stake.

I would have in for the events i mentioned, but he wants more.
For that reason alone he must see value in the game there, as he's not a charity or a philanthropist as far as I know.
