I believe the T&A essentially get 99.9% of their info from Gledhill these days, so perhaps he can shed light on what they're talking about.

Can anybody shed any light on anything at the moment.

There are that many rumours, announcements, lies, statistics and confusion around at the moment it wouldnt surprise me if the RFL announced that the new structure was to combine all the RL leagues and turn them completely upside down so that Cas in effect would be the bottom of the lowest league (renamed Luper Seague) and the Bulls would be somewhere in the middle still not knowing if we were going up or down.
Hang on - that last bit is actually true!

Re: Meeting Andrew Chalmers : Fri Jun 23, 2017 1:28 pm  

I think they are two different meetings.
There was one meeting a couple of weeks ago for just the SL chairmen to discuss several things, one of them being potential league restructure (moving up to 12 or 13 SL teams). They also discussed the potential for wiping the league points at the start of the super 8s, which is a ridiculous idea imo.
Regardless of what they discussed, the end result was that they concluded to wait until the end of the season before making any decisions.

This second meeting, the one that Karl Harrison referenced on the radio, is a different meeting for just the Championship chairmen. Not sure if there is an agenda or whatever but Karl mentioned the possibility of extending the number of teams in the Championship as early as 2018. This rumour has been mentioned several times both on here and in the press/interviews with Bulls staff. That could mean there's legs to it, or it could mean absolutely nothing.
The t&a this morning stated that the meeting is due to take place on Monday.

So at the minute there's a lot of assumptions, maybe we'll know more after Monday (but probably not).

That's the one! Cheers for the info.

LE is reporting that it is taking place on July 5th

Yep, seems the t&a and some RL journos (who are usually quite reliable) got it wrong.

If that's the case I would be moving heaven and earth to bring in some more fire power for the shield..

Is that an informed they are, or a they have been trying really hard there is nobody available they are??
This Relegation battle could have been avoided if they had got the old hand in the pocket earlier..I'm not talking signing Aussie internationals just some solid additions..

Well, one person who won't be playing for us this week is Jordan Lilley http://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/lilley- ... VJCvsaZORs It would need a fresh one month loan now to get Lilley back, and I wouldn't bank on that with the Super 8s and Cup games coming up for Leeds.
