[exturlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Super_League[/exturl
The Super League name has been lost to soccer, if anyone thinks that we still exist as a sport please add your thoughts here rlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Super_Leaguerl because we seem to shrinking as a game year-by-year, month-by-month, week-by-week.
The European Super League is eating up alot of headlines, but if we lose The Super League, and that moves into the national conversation, we might as well settle in for increasingly small TV deals, smaller crowds, smaller wages for the players, until we flicker out of existence.
The RFL and the Super League may may not been the best managers of our game, but we have seen other sports take the name Womens Super League, European Super League and others, and each time we go further into the background, having to explain our sport to people, having to justify our existence.
Please do not let the Super League go, as our flagship competition is not a soccer one, it is a rugby league competition

If our game has registered the name? Then the league should stop them using the name & I expect we would get support from the FA, UEFA, etc & the politicians have got involved as well. I suppose the game can’t even contemplate the court costs involved.

Rlfans - the most toxic rugby league forum in the world: |

|
Didnt we also own the trademark for "Rugby world cup" and we just gave it to rugby union free of charge?

The way the Super League was being used on the BBC, Sky, Twitter and every news outlet as an acceptable version of the European Super League just shows how rubbish we are at protecting our game, let alone promote it.
We have let rugby union set up a Challenge Cup, we have let association football set up a Womens Super League, we have let netball set up a superleague. I genuinely think that this game is being badly run intentionally. Press coverage has been getting smaller year on year after the northern offices of the newspapers closed, and the Super League and the RFL seem quite happy for us to sail into the distance getting smaller and smaller each year til we disappear completely off, not the national consciousness, but even out of a regional one.
The Super League is a rugby league competition, one that we should be proud of. If we let our name be acceptable vernacular for another sport then we have to rebrand, and rebrand, at a point of weakness, and at a real low point in the sports history.

Companies House has us down as SUPER LEAGUE (EUROPE) LIMITED.
Some bright spark has registered EUROPEAN SUPER LEAGUE LTD (It's been dormant for 7 years).
