No we don't.... Not enough quality players. When we had 14 clubs in SL London under McDermott could not get decent players from the M62 to play for the Bronco's. At that time Wakefield were letting in 40 points a match with crowds tumbling. London lost all but one game letting in 46 points a match playing one game in front of only 1,000 fans - against Catalans Dragons. SL thought about dropping to 10 clubs before these disasters, but quickly went to 12. Last year SL signalled they wanted to go to 10 clubs and put that to a vote the Championship clubs blocked. They most likely will go to 10 with a reduced TV deal on the cards. Catalans lost their TV deal - so please don't even assume Catalans will be in SL 2022. They likely won't be.
You really must get real - English SL bosses will NEVER EVER allow their limited player pool to be shipped abroad thus cutting their own throats. They have said so in the RL press. No offence to you, RL papers and Mags like League Weekly and RL Express constantly promote the American dream but not one of the journos or either editor has the bottle to actually come clean on the realities of the acute lack of players to stock such a dream, and the fact that there are no real North American investors. All I ever hear is Argyle (Aussie) and Wilby (Englishman) promising the earth.
Quite right. Not enough quality players. Who’s fault is that? New York and Toronto who have been in existence for 7 minutes or Wakefield. Leigh And Salford who have been in existence for 100 years and still can’t produce “quaility” players. These 3 waster clubs are no different to the expansion clubs in that they rely on cast offs
