Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "Re-locating or omitting new clubs into super league is the best way to expand the game along with franchising.
If Wakefield Wildcats or Salford Red Devil's were to relocate in Coventry or New York, and a new league 1 club formed in Wakefield this would be a positive not a negative.
It concerns me the RFL have absolutely no strategy. In the last two years they have omitted two clubs into league 1 and said they must work their way up through the leagues. They have now announced this isn't necessary and clubs can relocate. Perez could have taken over Bradford, relocated them to Toronto and by-passed league 1. Get a strategy RFL and stop making it up on the hoof.'"
Dont just pick on Wakefield and Salford.
I'd like Leeds to move as far away as possible
Seriously though, our game just doesn't have a high enough profile to move clubs around.
However, it may just be possible to "sell" a franchise to football club but, without some kind of guarantee of SL status for "x" years, who the hell would invest significant sums of cash on a possible, maybe.
You do wonder where all this emanated from and who is behind it.
Is it some kind of "leak" from HQ or just a speculative journalist.
