All good additions. But the superleague is desperately in need of a cash injection and better management. There was talk of the NRL taking over but that is looking unlikely now.

RL could really be a much bigger sport in the UK if it had PVL running the show. There is massive unlocked potential for the game over there but its never had decent leadership.

Smart and wise new tv deal is needed.
all metrics are up across the game in a big way

better management like you said will go along way

I hope in a few years they look at teams like

London, Wales, Coventry (Midlands) Newcastle for Entry teams 15 and 16

Super League is at another “crisis” point…one of many they have had over the years.
Expanding to 14 is interesting when their “partner” manager IMG thinks the optimum is 12 and the NRL thinks it is 10.
The expansion is risky without first having a new TV deal, and if the new one is not a substantial increase they could have more problems…and not having a London team in might not prove attractive for broadcasters.
