Don't know who NB is but i shall give you permission to speak of English RL's savior team!!!
I do believe that the long away schedule is affecting players especially ones who have kids and they can't come over for the whole summer. Also we will now be based out of Manchester next year which will add to travel for a lot of the UK based players on regular basis on top of being away for the 11 weeks.
Once in SL we will be looking at a new home base or doing some major renovations to Lamport to allow us to play home games earlier in the year and have blocks of home an away similar to this year. Might have a year with a few home games out of Manchester if we do work out a renovation scheme with the city for Lamport.
That or the season gets shortened in the restructuring being discussed and a summer sport doesn't start in February?
