More rumours that they only want an 8 team comp. 

Leeds

Saints
Wigan
Wire
Catalans (wider French team)
Hull fc/KR
Cas/wakey/Huddersfield
Leigh


Not taking into account London, etc. 


A 28 game season would mean playing each other 4 times. 

Need more clubs not less imo. The whole no talent argument is rubbish. Playing teams more than twice lowers the interest of it. Get it back to 14. Play home and away plus magic weekend (matches done by 1st v2, 3v4 etc a few rounds before). Playoffs have 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 followed by the grand final. Allows more space for internationals and catch up weekends

Which would be dreadful. I also don't think any league run by the NRL in this country will not include London. 

NZ warriors have offered Gannon a 3 year deal according to reports in Australia. 

I'd be a bit surprised if he went, but I would be pulling out the stops to keep him on a 2-3 year contract. Not too long so he might later feel trapped, but long enough for him to be further established and still plenty young enough to go later if he really wanted to. I'd also be sitting him down with JJB to discuss the future vision the new CEO has for the club.

Get Gannon signed up long term now! (presuming he wants that is ) He will be an England international probably this year.

The club will surely make Gannon a very good offer.
He's a tremendous young talent, and hopefully his horrendous head/concussion injuries are a thing of the past and that he can now go on to fullfill his undoubted potential at Leeds






I hope that Gannon remembers to take his dictionary

I'm kinda torn on the NRL stuff.


I do think we need less teams,  the bottom two teams are always basically whipping boys but I understand why the teams need a longer season for more money.


I'd rather 10 teams with the money spread between the less pots so those 10 having less of a talent gap.
The extra weeks with no games could then be used for either international games or some kind of origin rip off for international prep.


No point going to 8 teams ,trying to merge teams that won't work, less games or spammed re matches if it's for nothing.


Sad fact is that the salary cap has always worked to the bottom rung of the ladder after it stabilised the big clubs.
With the NRL cap being so high there is no chance of any player coming unless he has serious baggage or near retirement and SL just doesn't seem to be able to move enough young good players to being good or great at SL level,nevermind international
