If that were to work in Rugby League, we'd need to switch to a softer cap with more allowances for things like Homegrown players, similar to how the NBA has the Bird rule to allow teams to re-sign players they've developed. I know it's not exclusively used for that, but that's how the equivalent should work IMO.

The bird rule has nothing to do with “developing” a player. The bird rule relates to a player who has played for your team for 3 years

"As soon as they won promotion Brian McDermott starts calling half of us Luddites"

“What can any reasonable and rational person expect in terms of comeback when you are saying to someone who has been at a club 15 years and has ploughed in X amount of millions, that actually you shouldn’t be part of this party.

“What does he expect? I think he should get his feet under the table before getting on his soap box. The whole way they have taken this into the public arena has completely undermined the goodwill feeling their involvement generated on being promoted”

100% agree with Neil Hudgell. So that's Hull FC's and Hull KR's stance on TWP. What is the betting that another 9 SL clubs think exactly the same ?

This is all over this mornings RL press and apparently seven SL clubs are all saying the same thing about TWP in Unison.

Catalans as guests will keep out of it for sure, leaving only three English Superleague clubs shall we say "on the fence" Hetherington doesn't often agree with the top SL bosses and I assume Mr. Fulton will keep his usual low profile as will whoever chairs Salford.

So my bet is Lenegan, McManus, Davey, Pearson, Hudgell, Moran and Carter are all on the same wavelength on this, roughly the same gang who took on the RFL when they forced the Middle eights on the game but lost by a vote. Later this gang of SL bosses destroyed the RFL by splitting Superleague away from them, now these SL supremos will be planning for whom they will let in Superleague under the 2022 deal.

And it won't be TWP.

That's Hull off the itinerary list.

Never seen two guys that are so unwelcoming and hypocritical at the same time. That's what fear does to you as KR are odds on to be in the relegation battle.

Hudgell is only speaking out against Toronto to deflect their own inability to sign players to replace their injured.

What a load of nonsense, keep kneeling in front of the TWP dream machine.

Not true at all, a host of SL bosses are saying exactly the same thing that TWP must play to the rules. HKR are members of Superleague, Hudgell often speaks on their behalf, and TWP are just guests and largely unwanted ones at that, who now want special treatment.

I'll kindly ask, which part do you believe is nonsense?
