Can only find £5,000,000 awarded to Rimmer to look after his 16 clubs, Not seen a definitive breakdown for SL1 & SL2 just suggestions but probably too soon for such a decision to be made as Davey has only just confirmed the number of SL clubs........AFAIK no confirmation what exactly SL2 will be? Some optimists think it will be a professional competition......

I think no chance as as much money as possible has to go into clubs who will be on TV. IIRC thats 66 matches involving SL1 clubs only?

The whole problem with the last deal was the ££Millions wasted on the second tier comps.

WHY? Surely Featherstone would go up if they nicked it?

Ain't you a treasure.
An individual who purported to follow a third tier side, who has typed out support for Leigh Centurions and Newcastle Thunder - not forgetting York.
The M62ers sure is good for a laugh.

You forget Toronto for all the £M’s pumped into it to let it go so easily. What investment do Newcastle,York have? There biggest venue next season will be playing Leigh.

Looking at the current recruitment of Leigh, they are way behind times. Plenty time to catch up of course.. Surely they should have been doing it already. No golden spoons in this game.

You’ll get Toulouse up and a media explosion from Sky. Then will come the flop.

Bookmark it.. Leigh already odds on for return to SL.

Bookmarked

But,but,but,Leigh Centurions will be receiving a parachute payment and Donnyman doesn't want any money given/wasted on second tier clubs.

How about NOT wasting money on Super League clubs and just spending it on the elite/elite international players;who play for England - none of the other Home international players?

Interesting how many second tier players are being signed by Super League clubs for 2022.

Their days,like the sport,could be numbered.

Leigh are still technically owed 750k having to fight in SL with just 1M given to them.

Parachute payment or a 'deferred agreement' ?

Yes,an I interesting point.
Should any money be ' wasted on second tier ' clubs to allow them an opportunity to improve and compete?

I agree with his comments about the Sky product. A complete clearout of the commentary box would be a start.
