Wakefield Trinity • Championship Central funding

There are a few factors at play here.

A lot depends on whether the SL expands to 14, that's two up.

There are also two clubs in SL who from what I'm told might not make it through the 2024 season.

Salford are the obvious one, but I'm also told that London never expected promotion and were caught totally unready. I know they have the SKY money, but as a Championship club they were barely breaking even. In essence the SKY cash is there only income for players, the rest is already spoken for. Unless they can attract significant crowds they may well fold. Plough lane is a great venue, but very difficult for fans from the north to get to - easily a 4-5 hour journey so I can't see them getting much away traffic.

The last two are very speculative, so PLEASE don't take me literally. But if it did all come to fruition you could end up with four promoted teams if I've got my sums right.

Salford Replacement
London Replacement
Further two to make a 14 team comp.

This is RL, it's not as impossible as it sounds.
