Will Super league end up being a feeder comp to the NRL?

[Estoniandogg]

Again yes and no really.

clubs can work with local government and sport England in order to get help with costs.

Also a lot of clubs are doing well crowd wise and newly promoted Leigh for example are expecting a full house for the visit of St Helens which should be around 10-11k which is fantastic for RL in England.

Interesting and is good news.

Oe thing i didnt understood is why ESL hasnt pushed harder into Manchester and Newcastler and even Scotland?

As long as the English clubs get a transfer fee I think it works quite well for them. Welsby or someone could be $250k vs nothing. That 250k will then go to more young players and they see a pathway to millions in the nrl. So I think it’s Ok overall.

You’d hope so and not frittered away on some washed up NRL players or 2nd rate nobody’s.

Because they’ve always been shortsighted until recently unfortunately.

Things are slightly changing in Manchester with Salford working closely with schools in the city but more could and should be done.

while in Newcastle and the greater north east region the game has seen huge growth at grassroots level thanks to the great work done by the Newcastle thunder but in true RL fashion this could be all undone by the news of thunder going back to part-time.

As for Scotland that’s a huge wasteland. Literally.

The trasnsfer fee is interesting.

I wonder why NRL dont do?

Also Australia can help financially by manipulation.

Example.
Phil Gould wants to offload TPJ 900 salary.

Make deal with Salford.

'Hi Salford.
please let us do player swap. You give Sam Stone and we give you TPJ. Also understand there is transfer fee so let us give you 600k transfer fee. Only thing we ask is you pay TPJ 900K.'

So Salford get genuine marquee for 300k and give up Sam stone, and Dogs clear 700k (assume sam get 200) on cap.
