This is what the nrl will be dealing with

the English games is full of dinosaurs and unfortunately they will never let the game profess beyond the small parts of Yorkshire and the outer suburbs of Manchester / Liverpool it’s currently played in

Hoyle said: “Is it the best thing that we put money into France? We never see any fans coming over.

“You’ve got to ask whether we’d be better having the Oldhams, the Halifax, the Widnes’, the Bradford’s. We’ve got these big teams that could come through and bring crowds… put more money into our sport.

“The Canada experience (with Toronto Wolfpack), what a disaster that was. It just didn’t work.

Apparently a majority (6) super league clubs want Les Catalans kicked out of super league

Turnover of 13 million euro which is amongst the highest in the league and plans for further expansion.
Meanwhile in Huddersfield....

Apparently? Did you read it on X lol?
The reality is we now have a grading system and Catalans are an A grade club so aren’t going anywhere.

If the London Broncos are relegated at the end of this season and Wakefield get promoted that would mean that there would be 11 of the 12 Super League teams along the M62 corridor, which the NRL wouldn't be intertested in.
The NRL might be interested if there was a 14 team Super League, which included London, Catalans and Toulouse, but a 12 team Super League with 11 in the M62 will not interest the NRL.

So who’s the 6 chairmen?

what about it? It’s one old blokes opinion. P&R is a British thing, Some believe sport should be decided on the field not in the boardroom. Australia doesn’t have a proper second tier in any sport and cost of travel excludes it nationally so p&r ain’t feasible even if it was preferred.

When the nrl is truly cashed up then it makes way more sense starting its own Anglo French league of 12 teams

the current tv deal for super league is around 22 million pounds pa so if the nrl did it properly they could end up with something that does well commercially

But we are talking about 50 to 100 million pounds pa until the tv deal and crowds grew to a sustainable level

London would obviously be a key market as would other big cities not in super league like Newcastle

NRL doesn't have $100-200million a year to spend on SL lol. dreaming.

yep those 2000 London RL fans will be worth so much.

I said when the nrl is truly cashed up ie not now

around 30 percent of viewers on tv are from London and it produces a loads of juniors

Way more than the Melbourne storm do lol
Yeh sure, I mean how long before their $40mill nrl surplus is $240mill so they can invest in SL? lol
