that's the bit I don't understand either !

Widnes's current juniors were already signed 2/3 years ago



So we are back to having an ' investor ' being the only difference , in fact their playing strength was stronger back then than now

stronger finances play an important part in professional RL clubs



if thats the only difference you ackowledge re widnes well its still a massive one



the RFL mustve failed there eh? you know with their plan to see champ clubs fail

So some money that Mo got 17 years ago ? , what did the SL clubs spend their money on 17 years ago ? , how much did the non SL clubs get ?



A TV deal that actually costs some clubs money in lost revenue



And that criteria is what ?



You dont understand , so stop pretending you do , I dont comment on the game in Australia , I dont because I dont know enough about it , just as you dont know enough about the game over here . or in NZ for that matter

to recieve money from the RFL is not much use is it ?

What absolute nonsense.



Do you think Wakefields position wouldnt be in jeopardy with P+R? of course it would.



and Every club in the championship has the same clear path as Widnes and Steve O'connor have.



And clearly if clubs need it, getting investment in, paid for by someone else, is no bad thing.

you asked what the rfls done for them and i answered



sorry it doesnt fit in with your conspiracy theories



dont let the facts get in the way of it though cause its funny you actually believe it

widnes got in steve oconner after they went into administration and had little chance of a SL license



youve got it all wrong



if champ clubs cant find an investor then they dont deserve to be in SL



SL isnt a charity for any club that wants a spot. clubs have to meet certain criteria before they gain entry



allowing lesser clubs into sl just dilutes the standard



if a champ club cant find a sugar daddy and / or new ground then they arnet fit for SL



its that simple



if you dont meet the criteria, tough luck

2 Super Leagues.



Top SL to be called European SL.



2nd SL to be called UK SL



Either promote Toulouse into the European SL, or ship them back to the LER until they have everything in place.



Make sure the UK SL gets another game on sky sports each week taking the total games of RL to 4 at least.



These two Leagues would have the top (however many) clubs playing in them with the biggest/best clubs in the ESL.



How you work out who are the biggest clubs that get to compete in the ESL is anybodies guess.



But to be in either SL, you will have to reach a minimum standard set.



Expansion clubs and heartland clubs within the UK can play in the Championship until they themselves reach the minimum standard to reach the UK SL.



Once it has been established over a couple of seasons and has settled down, you could then have PR between the two Super Leagues.

Oh no. Not another accountant. Knows the cost of everything but the "VALUE" of nothing . RL is doomed I tell you!!

we are seeing the value of a league based in small northern towns, its on its .



If you want to crow about the inherent 'VALUE' of small northern clubs fine, but if you want the game to survive you need to find £35m a year to support the game and the money it will lose

As I remember , the money offered by SKY in it's insception was to the RFL not SL. SL was thought up first then to dilute the finances further SLE was formed with no monies going to the lower divisions. No wonder there is a you and us attitude.
