Quote littlerich="littlerich"I don't agree with much of what the RFL do but i take a step back and look at these new stadiums being built and the ones being played in. It is a good thing and a massive step in the right direction. Galpharm, KC, DW, HJ, LSV, and even Bramhall Lane - excellent places to watch Rugby League - and soon to include Saints & Salford. Hat's off.'"
i know this isnt accepted by many now but i genuinely believe that because of franchising, 10 years down the track RL is going to be booming
clubs will learn they have to spend their money off the field, not just on it. the area that was most neglected wont be anymore
theres also an excellent opportunity for clubs outside SL to look at the franchise criteria and force their way into SL
i dont think the RFL will cap numbers in sl as long as the clubs outside it really deserve entry
its up to these champ clubs to improve, the ones that can ive no doubt will join an expanded SL.
