Just shows what a stupid idea it is to have non British teams in super league.

Well ,Dita ,i am firmly in the camp that says, unless these overseas inclusions are going to greatly benefit our sport , any such money would probably be better spent promoting fledgling leagues in these countries so all clubs start from their roots & grow together & form their own local rivalries & fan bases.
I think the best input for superleague would be to ensure Canada is supplied with regular & frequent televised sl games to promote what their game could be like.
Let's be honest are we really impressed at the inclusion of overseas teams bringing empty stands with them when we have near neighbours who don't get a look in. If it was left to me ,i would bring all UK teams together in one league & give the lower placed teams the chance of hosting top teams instead of having the loop fixtures. The league could be split into clusters of clubs playing each other twice then having exposure to clubs from other clusters to make up fixture numbers.How many times in a season do i want to watch Wire/Wigan ?

Short term, I'd like to see SL move to a 14 team competition immediately with Toronto, Catalan and Toulouse involved. I'm not sure the competition could support more than 3 or 4 non UK clubs at present out of 14. I'm a fan of the Franchise model but I know it's not too popular around the league, but a franchise model would allow Toronto & France to look for longer term TV deals with certainty that their clubs would be in the competition long term.

Ultimately the aim has to be paying TV deals from France & North America, France can provide increased playing talent and North America can provide increased commercial opportunities. I wouldn't be too concerned about 'affordability' for supporters. We need increased TV exposure so more games on television, that way supporters aren't missing out, yet have the opportunity to visit new places to follow the Wire.

If we do have Ottawa & New York plus others in the pipeline we would need to move to a 2 tier SL comp. The only way we could facilitate that financially is a paying TV contract for North America & France. Opportunities for the UK broadcaster to sell / swap live feeds with other broadcasters would make Super League an attractive proposition.

Without a paying TV contract all North America is, is a player drain from UK clubs in SL, that TV deal has to follow for them to come on board in any greater number.

Anyone that says anything about we should promoting cumbria, (cos its a hotbed blah blah blah) or bringing bradford back is getting banned
