Put licensing in place and they cant all get in unless it means that existing SL teams be sacrificed (Wakey, Widnes, Salford) - actually it could work'"
it will work if you increase the size of the league to 16 teams each playing each other home and away, then there's more room for both new and heartland teams and teams won't be playing each other so many times in a season |

If licensing is put through one of the criteria to meet should be that any club has to have a fully functioning academy set up.
It should also be compulsory for all clubs to have a genuine reserve team to play in a structured league alongside the SL fixtures for young players on the fringe to get regular games alongside players that do not make the 17 each week. The farce of the U23's where some clubs participated and others didnt and some of the ones that did couldn't be d to feild a team at times was just a total joke.
Unless the game as a whole start to invest in the young players and improve the way they come through to senior level the game will never expand.

I think the licensing scheme was done to death, previously. League sealed off and 14 clubs sharing the tv cash led to the big 4, with other teams finding it hard to fund the catch up. An open system with salary cap and promotion/ relegation, has led to super League becoming far more competitive. If the RFL revert back to franchising, would the league become a 16 team competition, with the existing 12 plus Toulouse, Toronto and the top 2 in the Championship. I’d definitely miss relegation, it was my favourite part of 2016 season, second only to Wembley. |

Bradford Bulls Chairman (I think) said at a fans meeting, attended by Ralph Rimmer tonight:
“We believe that from 2021 a new Super League structure and licensing format in any event will be in place"
Used to love the Grade A license chat, good luck to James Rule getting that at Widnes ![]()
James Rule is a better CEO than Clarkey could ever dream about, given the type of owners he was having to work for and covering their s/making decisions based on direct instruction from the owners and covering/sorting out the other wrong uns in the club he did a fantastic job.
All too easy for you overlook the positives he brought to the club and the he had to take for others misdemeanors/ineptitude.
Licensing should be a good thing, however it should not remove promotion and relegation on a yearly basis, in any case bradford should be nowhere near, i'd rather Halifax or London be given a gig at the top table.

I miss James Rule and his A licence chatter.
And his announcing of new signings as soon as our season finished. Usually about April.

He was a complete 4rse and oversaw a number of unacceptable happenings at the club. He was a decent front man and marketer but way out of his depth as CEO |

The way Bumpy harps on about Rule & Gentle, you'd have thought pre-Radford was some sort of golden age for the club. I'm sure he kind for us to be crap again, gives him n his petitions purpose.

Lost us countless sponsors, including the brilliant Campbell Engineering who did so much for the Jack Harrison memorial, we all need a CEO that gets verbal and aggressive in PAVE I guess....
