But if they don't do that they wouldn't be able to pocket a little sly percentage.

If you play 20 games and get 40 points you should be Champions. If you play 20 games and get no points you should be relegated. The end.

Rugby League survived over 100 years without "central funding" so they have to learn to live without it yet again. Significantly reduce player contracts. whatever it takes it can be done. It needs to be done.

Just saying what’s actually going to be happening next month on thread and sorry but whatever it is it won’t be any of your proposals so with central funding going to continue for 2025 at least I’d rather have all clubs get an equal share per the divisions rather than some getting more especially when it was reported to be based on the IMG system and their points.

A bit from last weeks rugby press and how IMG should be engaging more with the fan base.

After all they have included that in the criteria and in a recent pole as an example.

59.31% voted for a Super League of 14 teams.
32.19% for 16.
6.15% the current number of 12.
And finally.
2.35% for 10.

Can’t see it affecting us and can’t them listening either.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the fattest pigs with the snouts in the trough vote for a reduced SL of 8 teams to get a bigger slice of the pie. After all, there're some clubs in SL "which shouldn't really be there" when the Framing the Future was being modelled in the 90s.

It really is "Us and Them" isn't it? So much so that I actually want SKY to pull the plug. And it just may happen. SKY has no competition for the rights so can bid what they want anyway, and I'm guessing the number of RL fans who would cancel their SKY subs if no RL would be minimal.
