Does it not come into being in 2025 season, anyways given the efforts you are making with stadium it should be Castleford that goes down or is their magic stadium actually getting built.

Or the Salford are in financial trouble rumour we are saved, and we knew all along that’s why we didn’t spend anything on the squad.

The clubs had the opportunity to vote for a 14 team SL a couple of years ago, I believe you guys voted against it

Was always an advocate for a 14 team league, but seeing how poor Trinity are along with Hull FC and Cas stinking the place out too I can now see the quality probably isn't quite there.

Exactly, just isn't enough 'good standard' super league players

But the only way to increase this player pool and talent pool is to have more top tier clubs with mandatory academy and reserve leagues creating that pathway to elite level sport.

That isn’t a short term thing. That’s a 5- 10 year plan.

Absolutely agree with you, just at this moment in time there isn't enough in the talent pool. An academy with a proper reserve comp is a must for me going forward

100% this. Trouble is beyond the elites, SL Club chairmen won't (or can't) think long term. They are skint and any threat of diluting Sky Money (which is what it was let's be frank) is just not going to float on their watch.
