There is no way a SL chairman is going to vote to share the reduced Sky money between 14 teams. It is just not going to happen unless Sky say we will give you X amount more to increase the league to 14 and they are not going to do that.
Relegation this year but 14 team super league in 2025. McManus not happy.
How do you get that? They have said the only reason the 12 will expand is if they have 13+ A grade teams. I would put a lot of money on us not being close to that.
How will "no relegation" work. For sure, the winner of the Championship GF will expect promotion and rightly so. Therefore, is there a proposal to increase SL to 13 (or 14) clubs and if so, where is this information.
It sounds like "Chinese whispers" and not a serious comment.
If tere was no relegation, ourselves and Cas could do with knowing, as it makes a huge difference with regard to recruitment.
TBF, In 2021 there was a strong application for a 14 team SL put forward to Ken Davey. It was looking positive until it came to the actual vote and Leigh was languishing at the bottom of the table at that time, and heading to the championship,and certain clubs then changed their tune with their vote, and Leigh went down.

An interesting article but, talking of this season and the possibility of no relegation, it's on a par with Trinity making the Grand Final, not a bloody chance. Of course, SL should be balanced, with no loop fixtures but, there have been many, many opportunities to implement this in the past but, with broadcasting monies falling, the SL clubs simply wouldn't vote to split the cash 14 ways instead of 12.
It sounds like a bloke down the pub telling his mate he's heard something and his mate believing it to be true.
