The new structure is due to come in after next season, isn't it.

In terms of what happens if "we" go with a 2 x 10 structure, you are right to question how clubs will be treated though.
It was a clear as mud when the last franchise system was implemented and considering that 2 of the "favoured" expansion clubs (Newcastle and York) would have been "culled" is the top 20 was chosen on this seasons league standings and that certainly wouldn't go down too well n some quarters.
The 2 x 10 is almost as bad as the 3 x 8's though and will do yet more damage to the sport.

And message boards aren't all about trolling around with five identities Ismir Tabby Warrington etc........Your made up story about your grand final visit was a howler.

So if Franchising comes in for the Superleague next season when the new Lower SKY deal clicks in who do you think the member clubs of Superleague will pick to be in the same league with them??

I would certainly think Toulouse and les Catalans will be first picks if they have a well paying French TV deal and are turning out SL quality French players.

My favourite is Remy Casty who is a superstar and legend of the game - look forward to seeing him play here next season..........

I agree with all of this. Fev should be in at the expense of Wakefield for sure

Already announced his retirement prior to Sunday's final and confirmed it post-match.

Sky sell advertising as well as subscriptions, advertisers pay more for vibrant cross continent exposure, they pay less for mushy peas and gambling, Sky and the top clubs want this!
you have being regurgitating this all Northern England SL fir the last few years snd its now further and further away, been a bad few days for you hasn’t it.
