There is a thread on Redvee titled state of the game and a poster on there quotes a tweet from Steve Mascord saying the NRL will have nothing to do with us while Wood is involved. It then goes on to mention this is why Beaumont and McManus want Wood in because they don’t have the cash to compete with what the NRL want to do with the sport here.
Another interesting thing is did anyone pick up on what Carney was saying about the sport before kick off that bigger things are about to happen in the next few weeks than when we went to Summer rugby.

A few years ago I’d probably say no to an eight team NRL Europe. However, RL is dying a slow death, managed decline, and it needs something radical to grow. I’ll take a strong 8-team comp with the smaller clubs in a reformed lower Suoer League. London, Cats, Warrington, Wigan, Leeds, Saints and the two Hull clubs all in the NRL-E.
NRL branding to keep it sounding ‘national’ and use all their expertise to run it. Grow slowly from there with the addition of another French club when able.
If it doesn’t work we haven’t lost anything really. How much longer can we even stay known outside of the M62 corridor. An ageing fan base, and some prehistoric facilities. Did anyone see the Cas Cats game? It was like watching a VHS of a 1980s Micron video rental.
Im all in.
I'm not disagreeing with you but to have only 7 other teams to play against is going to get tedious. and throw in whatever happens to the Magic Weekend or is that lost because we are not expanding and the Challenge Cup and Play Offs...it's bad enough now with 12 | | | |

Is this your line up or something that's been published? Interesting, no Leigh who might argue that they are a big Club, or certainly on their way to being, and nothing from west West Yorkshire, which although is an area with under achievers has a large combined RL demographic Sorry, I should have made this clear: This isn't my idea - this is what was told to one of the owners of League Publications, who publish the weekly RL papers. He's mentioned it elsewhere on internet forums, but I don't know where he's got his info from but he's likely in the know.. My guess is that the format I mentioned was the one put forward by V'Landys in discussions. I was expecting some sort of breaking news this week, but all we got was the Ashes announcement. | | |

A reduction to 8 UK teams would have to come hand in hand with something radical to get my juices flowing. I get that the benefit might be more secure and increased revenue stream (or why bother) but the sport seems to have a problem with travel costs to Catalans never mind Australia or 'neutral' venues such as the USA if this were to be a regular part of the season rather than a one off, once in a lifetime event. interesting I guess that we shall all have to wait and see. | | | |
