It's all gone very quiet regarding the proposed re structure for next season.
Is it still going to be all change or, can we afford to fund the current model after all.

Next season is so far away. No reason why they can't look at this say a month before it starts?

Sounds about right. Give everyone time to make plans and ensure that they dont go bust when the funding stops (or shrinks to the size of a gnats chuff).

Maybe they want to make sure that none of the favoured few are in strife, either in terms of "promotion" candidates or at the wrong end of the SL table.
Who knows, we may have a resurgent Toronto or other N. American club(s) to throw in the mix.

Once again RL looking like a well run sport with a long term strategy .

We have no structure. As far as my eyes have always seen, we seem to play it by ear.

We don't even keep our legends involved in the game.

We choose the likes of Barrie and Terry over the likes of Schofield and Sculthorpe.

The Australians are so far in front of us at this sport it's embarrassing. We're either the second or third best nation at this sport on the planet yet we've not even challenged to be the best nation for 50 years.

I'll take nothing less than us winning the World Cup this year, anything less will be just as much as a failure as we've produced as a nation for the past 50 years.

It's time to stand up. That includes the Super league competition that needs to become far more competitive. Some of the clubs we have are embarrassing themselves. Time for other clubs to get to the level of St Helens and Wigan.

We can fund the current model because the rich club owners have very kindly put more into the game, especially a host of Championship club owners that are queuing up to try to get promotion to Superleague in what will be a very exciting Championship. The SL chairmen have chased other deals and outlets to show our games and have had success there, but hey let's not give credit where credit is due.

We can just make ourselves on here sound superior to them by slagging them off

Next season is looking good for the Superleague and the Championship which ultimately is Superleague 2.

As for League one, that will be where the real struggle will be.......

decision will be made when the 'to be relegated' club is known.

As it stands clearly "NO" unless you think it would be acceptable at this late time, the RFL/SL coming out and saying something like 3 clubs will be relegated this season from SL...

Are you worrying about Wakey

IF SL is going down to 10 clubs AND there is still to be promotion from The Championship, there will be 3 clubs relegated and that's before some bright spark decides that "other criteria" are more important than results.

Given the success of the last 2 changes in format, RL really needs another restructure, the games profile is coming on leaps and bounds

Leigh or Featherstone......last year was Toulouse of Featherstone......time before was Toronto of Featherstone......the other 12 clubs won't be close. Owners of Championship clubs, Derek the deck boy aside, put in enough to keep the lights on......superleague would cripple most of them.


Superleague games on FTA was a no.brqiner and should have been written into broadcast rights 2 decades ago.

Sorry for not replying sooner, the idiot troll "orangeman (etc)" above put me off bothering...................

It will be interesting to see if the loss of TV money has any great effect at the top. Certainly the lower divisions have taken a big hit, and you can expect Superleague to sacrifice the lower clubs for the top clubs all day long.

Restructure at the top? No. No league one in a year or two - maybe..........

Hope your clubs ground improvements give a new impetus to the club........

Idiot? Troll?
My my Donnyboy.....you don't half fit right into the stereotypical flat cap northern monkey bracket.....anything outside your bus-pass not to be trusted.
As a southern fan of RL, who has lamented the decline of RL as a tie 1 sport, I find it incredulous that moth eaten attitudes like yours still persist....Superleague to your average sports fan in England now is Women's Soccer, whilst there's still only 1 rugby code that attracts bumper viewing figures come Feb/March.....but you'd be happy so long as you can get home from an away game in time for your supper
