Well, if its restructuring, there are only really two choices: ten teams or fourteen teams.Two leagues of ten isn't two super leagues but what we have now but smaller. The only way to avoid it would be to have more money for the lower league and a higher salary cap, so the team that comes up can do so competitively.
Fourteen teams means less money for everyone unless they make it UK-based only, so not sure how that will fly with those balancing the books.
I completed the IMG survey and one of the questions (or maybe more) was about the presence of French teams. The RFL may take the view that Catalans is an expensive luxury. Costs money to send teams over and costs thousands in ticket sales when they make the finals, as they don't bring many with them (understandably).
We all know it's going to be ten, it's being knocking around for so long. It's whether it includes french sides and how much for the lower leagues.
