My view is, 10 Clubs is too drastic a drop, At first.
In 3 years i do think the License system needs reducing to make a more elite league.
Hopefully by then, My club. Castleford will have a new stadium, We have the best commercial team doing amazing work off the field, That will pay dividends when we do, And we should be much stronger off the field.
On the field, We will have lost one or two of our bigger earners, Who tbh. We dont want, And should be much stronger on the field.
Hopefully. That would see us included in what my fiew would be. A 12 Team League. With 1or 2 Overseas players per team
12 teams that hopefully in 3 years, Could be spending 90% of the cap, And we could gradually see a much more open league.
The weak would be found out, And 3 years later. They could be dropped. But, Hopefully by then. There will be an ultra competitive Championship too.

Probably when we have the money and players to support twenty teams, and twenty teams of an elite level rather than the 6 elite teams, 3 just about making it, 1 expansion team, 1 team building a new stadium and hoping it will be the catalyst for huuuuuuuuge growth, 1 which is massively overshadowed by its neighbour, and 8 who would be cannon fodder which is what we would have. |

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing

Not necessarily. But it is a fairly long way off. |

Only if by strength "off the field" is measured in posting continuing financial losses, since joining superleague |

Yet you pick up on Hull KR and leave Saints, Wakefield, Huddersfield alone.
Shock horror. Our losses where around 250k this season almost 50k less then the previous year. Something that we've still improving on. |

I assume he meant Edinburgh.
Just because it contains almost the same letters as what he wrote Edinburgh and sounds like "Edinborough" when said aloud.
Really hard to decipher that code. |
