I seem to have attracted a self proclaimed defender of the RL faith and part time troll hunter. I apologise if I overstepped the mark, but EVERY post starting with a critique of imaginary trolling is tiresome. He really needs to get a life.
Back the subject in hand.
The game isn't in the rudest of health but it is by no means on its deathbed. My personal belief is that clubs like the London's and Wales's as well as Coventry need to be nurtured. If the money isn't there, then it's up to those clubs to find a way, but the money is there.....just the SL clubs are hoarding it in total disregard to the reality that these smaller clubs are where the future talent often start off.
Londons conveyor belt of talent is paying dividends....I hear great reports about the kids coming through at Coventry.....these may never be top tier teams, but they are as key to the game as Wakefield or Bradford......but there are some so called RL fan who think we shouldnt bother south of Widnes.....It gets their backs up that Catalan and now Toulouse are self funding clubs not relying on away fans or SKY handouts.....I'd hazard that Toulouse, Catalan, Wire, Leeds, Saints and Wigan are the top 6 next year, maybe the Hulls 7th and 8th and the rest scrambling to avoid oblivion.
In the 2nd tier, if Batley and Fev can maintain their 2021 form, I suspect theyll be hammering Wakefield and Salford in the SL2 or whatever its called in 2023....
