I've always wondered what would have happened if the Knights had joined Super League instead of staying with the ARL. It would have certainly affected the outcome of the Super League war.
The ARL competition would have been weakened without the Knights, as they were one of the stronger and more popular teams. The Super League, on the other hand, would have been bolstered by their inclusion, potentially making it more competitive and appealing to fans.
The Knights joining Super League would have tipped the balance more in favour of Super League. The ARL might have struggled more to compete, leading to different terms in the eventual merger of Super League and ARL in 1998 to form the NRL. The power dynamics during negotiations would have been influenced by the Knights' presence in Super League.
