I understand the reasoning but that's a race to the bottom imo.

Absolutely and it’s why the game has gone downhill over here in recent years. Held back by too many clubs which can’t spend the cap.. it’s not worked either way in its current state as it’s still the same clubs winning the major trophies but with a lower standard now overall. The cap needs increasing

Also worth considering, do the RFL like it like this? Clubs are not too powerful. No one spoken of breakaway franchise since Koukash left……

The clubs have far too much power.

Hmmm interesting viewpoint. Please expand…..

Put a huge salary cap in place. Attract business people to the game. Attract NRL players to the game.

Speculate to accumulate?

There is a healthy middle ground I'm sure,but for decades now the same clubs are bouncing up and down.

They have poor grounds ,low funds, offer little competitive to other teams and provide no one for international either yet suck up chunks of tv money and gates.

I'd rather a 10 team SL where the money and better players are spread into teams that offer more.

Also means the England players won't be playing 30+ games right into world cups and the like.

It's very unpopular and will never happen.

We will just end up with 14 teams where only top 4 can win, middle 6 are average and bottom 4 lucky to win 10 games a season and SL quality will just keep getting worse as NRL and union picks the best

Spot on

The RFL are and always have been the holders of the destiny of RL in the northern hemisphere unless that changes the downward trajectory will continue. They payed a kings ransom to IMG but are hell bent on ignoring the advise im sad to say.

Most of the important decisions are made by the clubs, the RFL don't have much power compared to other governing bodies like the NRL

Hall on a one year deal according to Leeds live.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea, still performing, non quota and will have some cap exemption.

Not sure what to think

Other than Hall over Fusitua by a country mile

First bit of good news for ages. Still plays like a man in his late twenties and would allow more scope for recruitment in the pack.

Smart deal imo only 1year, still performing to a high level gives Leeds chance to find long term winger after him we'll get way more out of Hall than Fusitu'a

Wonder what the off field role thats too good to turn down is

He's reportedly a very intelligent lad, DOR maybe?
