OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS!
I AM delighted that at the Super League Meeting last week eleven out of twelve clubs voted for an expanded elite division in Europe, with no club voting against.
It was a unanimous vote for growth and expansion to further broaden the reach of our best competition.
When the clubs asked for a review of the game’s strategic direction, the main criticism of the status quo was the loop fixtures, which can so badly distort the final league placement.
Everyone pleaded with us to get rid of loops without damaging the precious revenue of the clubs.
We have work to do, but we believe it’s possible to grow the overall GDP of the sport by going to 14 clubs in our elite competition.
