| Appreciate the detail is still a bit sketchy, but there doesn’t appear to be anything new or radical that makes me think RL still won’t be looked at as a minor professional sport. From those outside the game and potential sponsors I mean.

Bit Sketchy !!! This so called report or whatever you call it it, is the biggest load of tripe I have ever seen in my years watching RL. Its full of corporate speak and cliche, totally vague and lacking any detail whatsoever . It can be interpreted anyway you like. In truth its nothing more than a smokescreen so the game can be more easily be manipulated by McManus et el. It gives them a great opportunity to get an even bigger slice of the cake, even more influence and ensure they they share every final between a very few clubs.
Wakey are not in the chosen inner circle of clubs but overall still reasonably highly ranked in the game as a whole. Yet I cant see anything in this that will benefit us, in fact I am sure it will make us weaker. As for the wider game and championship clubs, they may well as pack it all in now, because their days will be soon over as credible clubs with a future. RL as we know it could be over quite soon for many supporters in the wider game.

You get all that from a vague cliche summary?

That's an old picture. Harlequins, Celtic and Bulls are on there too.

Not a lot to get if you open your eyes. I suspect Wakey will not be in the chosen few A catagory. Lets think about this. It would not be beyond reason that Tolouse and Warrington were Cat A and we get cat B. So under these new recomendations look what would have happened to us this season.

That screen is from the last round of franchising, with London on there and Wakefield still known t the Wildcats ?
The "new" structure is no longer about sport and is now about money, money and money.
Can you imagine if the Premier League adopted the same system ?

| I’m quite optimistic about this.
I think it will be a very positive move for Trinity in providing an opportunity to secure some stability and certainty.
The issue under the old system was facilities.
We have or are addressing that now.
We have elite Academy Status.
We are not as a club losing money hand over fist.
We have survived in SL as a viable entity for 20 odd uninterrupted years.
Attendances could be an issue however but I think on the face of it and not knowing the criteria we now look a decent prospect.
I’m not saying that we will be a Cat A club, but I expect there is a good case for us being a solid Cat B club.
I’d say Cas for example have much more to worry about.
We also need to now on top of the criteria what the league looks like. I cannot see it reducing under the new system but I could see it growing by 2 depending on the situation with the next broadcasting deal.
Looking on social media today everyone is as usual having s meltdown about it.
Just under 19000 responses to the survey.
I do wonder how many of the people kicking off about the proposals were part of the 19000 that participated by completing and returning it.

| At least it's a vision!
The franchising era was probably the peak of super league in terms of viewing figures and grand final attendances.
If what is said is right, the big clubs remain big. Those not-so-big clubs have a chance to join them if they can satisfy the criteria. If not, it's yo-yo with the other not-so-big clubs.
The issue is really how do you get to be a Category A and can you ever lose it? You have to work on the assumption that this is a permanent thing, so clubs need to have something to aim for in terms of investment and facilities. Also, clubs shouldn't assume protection forever. It would be nonsense if, for example, a Category A club crumbled financially in 2033 (Bulls anyone?) and didn't run academies or whatever but retained Category A because of how they were doing in 2023.
And, of course, the thorny issue of what happens if a big club finishes bottom. Does a Category B team go down or is one prevented from coming up?

I might be wrong, not a fan of the round ball game but wasn't some clubs protected from relaxation and some were not ?

I’m beginning to think IMG are not the all singing all dancing saviour we’ve been led to believe.
Below is a link to everything we need to know about the new proposal, I see there’s quite a lot of decisions not been finalised and so many ambiguities it appears decisions are being made on the hoof.

| Anyone know who’s the other 3 clubs are.
This could really impact our chances of a Cat A
From Gledhill page
Further to this tweet IMG said four Super League clubs currently don't spend the full salary cap which is why they will introduce a salary cap floor to ensure all clubs invest in themselves and the sport to give Rugby League and the top tier, the best chance of positive growth.

Because the article is about a return to licensing and this was the last time licensing was used and those were the clubs that were fighting it out for a place at the SL table.
We got very lucky that time around.
Let’s hope (and I don’t think it will) that it comes down to luck this time around.

| Below is a paragraph from BBC sports page. Are we going to see some clubs fast tracked again at the expense of established clubs, and will Geographical areas come back into play, eg Leeds, Trinity, Tigers and Giants within a fairly small area. I feel a sense of Deja Vu
IMG have targeted London as a high priority for expansion. They say a club in the capital is vital. But that has been tried so often before without anyone ever able to ensure sustained success.
