But French clubs are very much on the agenda by the sounds (capped at 2 conveniently), although they will have to contribute to travel costs until they have a TV/sponsorship deal in place to cover the costs.
Anyway no change for 2023, P&R remains. From 2024 12 teams to start with a plan to expand to 14 by 2027, no loop fixtures, magic scrapped, challenge cup final back to May, London & France 'growth areas', push the international game, strong emphasis on a clubs digital content, marketing etc, financial investment into clubs the aim, review of salary cap including a minimum spend, improving matchday experience - making more 'an event'. Probably other stuff i missed.'"
Have you got a link to the Twitter account with this on?

| Magic Weekend scrapped is farcical. It’s one of the events that make it stand out.

Have to say it was a cracking venture. I’d have scrapped the loop fixtures but had 1 extra magic fixture dependent on previous seasons finishings. 1v2, 3v4, 5v6 etc.
Also with no loop fixtures and 12 teams… that’s 22 fixtures a year. That’s some lost revenue of 1/2 gates. How will that shortfall be made up?
As for our ground. Without these 12 million developments we would be at serious risk. I’d say we are still at risk but less so. What we do need to do is ensure our youth/community especially remains excellent and keep further investing into that. We are already very good on those areas.
Only thing to hold us back is the stadium and marketing.

Well if Grade A clubs are at the bottom, it will be the next grade b club that's relegated?

| Appreciate the detail is still a bit sketchy, but there doesn’t appear to be anything new or radical that makes me think RL still won’t be looked at as a minor professional sport. From those outside the game and potential sponsors I mean.

Matter of opinion but I find it a complete waste of time along with the stupid loop fixtures glad to see it hit the bin

Bit Sketchy !!! This so called report or whatever you call it it, is the biggest load of tripe I have ever seen in my years watching RL. Its full of corporate speak and cliche, totally vague and lacking any detail whatsoever . It can be interpreted anyway you like. In truth its nothing more than a smokescreen so the game can be more easily be manipulated by McManus et el. It gives them a great opportunity to get an even bigger slice of the cake, even more influence and ensure they they share every final between a very few clubs.
Wakey are not in the chosen inner circle of clubs but overall still reasonably highly ranked in the game as a whole. Yet I cant see anything in this that will benefit us, in fact I am sure it will make us weaker. As for the wider game and championship clubs, they may well as pack it all in now, because their days will be soon over as credible clubs with a future. RL as we know it could be over quite soon for many supporters in the wider game.

You get all that from a vague cliche summary?

That's an old picture. Harlequins, Celtic and Bulls are on there too.

Not a lot to get if you open your eyes. I suspect Wakey will not be in the chosen few A catagory. Lets think about this. It would not be beyond reason that Tolouse and Warrington were Cat A and we get cat B. So under these new recomendations look what would have happened to us this season.
