I can see licensing coming back in for 2024
It will also give teams like Toulouse time to get established in S/L without the up/down problem.
Seems to me like the owners have have a heads up on this hence the new stand and ground improvements at Wakefield who i dont think would have been given a license had they not been able to make the improvements.
Having Wakefield.Castleford and Featherstone within a few miles of each other if i was a Castleford fan i would be worried about getting a license and can see several west riding mergers happening as a result of IMG coming in
