Fine as an answer - FFP rules type to apply, fine if an owner has cash to inject to offset allowed debt, but ultimately the club retains that debt created even if it's mitigated, accumulation over 3 seasons would still lead to clubs going bust as their is no league above super league with a tv injection of money available to wipe out debts as in your analogy championship to premier league.
In short all super league clubs would have to fall every time on a sugar daddy who did not want their money back, this is a tall ask times 12 clubs !!!!
Added to this is continuation of creditors wanting their money back, legal business rules apply in the UK, for all business to be paid within 1 month ! Continuation of debts unpaid can lead to your company being struck off registration to operate from the DTI - + all taxes must be paid first & kept up to date, these are legal issues that control debt ! Hence RFL rules of salary cap + right & proper person owning & running a club ( ability to ) I am not defending the RFL as they are not very good on the latter point, I am also not against raising salary cap but it has to be sustainable to the sport as a whole & not to a single or few select clubs, other wise, those few will only end up with each other !

Nice one Mr. Dog, you got me!! This is the weird thing about this so called expansion, in the end it will be several squads of 20 odd professional RL players all from England, and down under living and training along the M62 flying out to Canada a handful of times a year to play some "home" games. When Toronto and New York, or later Montreal and Ottawa play each other the two pairs of teams will each be on the same Aeroplanes! Let's hope they don't carry on any on field "disagreements"onto the plane returning to Manchester!!

Whilst that's going on the useless Wakefield Trinity will be playing the useless Huddersfield in the part time championship before 2,000. Equally the useless Hull.K.R. will be on 2,000 for the visit of Salford in the championship. These crowds happened last time they met in the Championship. I can understand "expansion" if there are more players & TV money, but if these NA teams are players from here and down under just masquerading as expansion then how do we keep the interest going amongst fans here, or get kids to bother playing anymore in Castleford, Huddersfield Salford and West Hull?? How do we continue to get a SKY TV deal if disgruntled people don't buy Subscriptions anymore from these places?

Who, Donny? I think you've read him wrong Roy

Apologies Roy, you haven't quite [i"got me wrong"[/i. It is more that I have misled you. I'm pro expansion in the way that London Broncos and Newcastle Thunder operate investing in their player development and academy systems. I love Wakefield, I first saw them about 1972 when I got the bus up to there and was dropped off outside Belle Vue and saw Terry Crook, Dave Topliss, Neil Fox. Mick Morgan and David Smith in action, superb players.

I was being sarcastic about the so called expansionists who believe that Toronto and other proposed clubs who won't ever develop players to "expand" the playing pool or find TV deals to "expand" the broadcast revenues, should be allowed to replace such as Wakefield and Huddersfield who they view as "useless" just because they are at the lower end of the table.

Roy, Donny talks a lot of sense, good at sarcasm to.
