Is it though? For quite a few years super league hasn't been able to sustain 12 quality teams, there tends to be teams that just aren't competitive or teams that are in financial trouble, if you go back the past few seasons you've had:


Salford and Huddersfield this year 
Us and London in 2024 
Wakefield in 2023
Toulouse in 2022
Leigh in 2021
Toronto in 2020 etc


A competitive 10 team league, even if it has teams playing each other 3 times, will be far more appealing to broadcasters than the current league with 12 teams where you know at least 1 or 2 will be uncomeptitve each year and lead to blow out scores. 

Talk about an absolute car crash of a take over & interview. Fair play to Carney and even Wilkin for grilling Irwin. 


The Salford situation is a complete p0op show from top to bottom. Shows just how poor the RFL’s governance is and has been when they can sanction a take over based on a land grab. 


Appalling situation for the players, staff and fans. 

Haven't seen the game but saw the interview on YT . Totally baffling how this has been allowed to get this far . It's another sorry episode from the RFL to add to an ever growing list of poor decisions from an totally bumbling organization .

If only we were playing them 3 times including a walk in the (st james) park at  magic weekend

Will they make it to St James Park ?

By the time we play them a new billionaire will have taken over and loaned the NSW Origin side for the weekend

Said it before and I'll say it again it's particularly embarrassing that our 'franchise' format should have prevented this. They could have been demoted, all players released and started again on a low budget. They have a small but loyal fanbase and imagine most would have still turned up.
