Might be happening a 14 team Super League
There isn't enough quality to go around for a 14 team league. Leigh would have to lose a bunch of their overseas players and probably end up being weaker if they do get promoted.

No we won't. We only have eight NFT players atm,maybe nine (I'm not sure) if O' Donnell counts), and i can see 3 of them moving on, which leaves 1 or 2 spots available if we get into SL.

Hitchcock was there wasn't he or as he gone? Crazy number that, a couple must have gone.
Fev are similar too, you to promote one, but neither have long term plans with lack of adademy/reserves.

I wouldn't be surprised if those moved on. Ipape & MacDonald will be here. "IF" we can keep hold of Aekins,Ferguson, Amone, Asiata & O'Donnell, that's 7 and that's good enough for me. After saying that, how about STOP disadvantaging clubs that get promoted? Why not give them dispensation for one season with NFT players to help them build? Also, the right decision would be for the RFL to tell Leigh & Fev NOW that there will be a 14 team SL for 2023 and those 2 clubs will be in, and can start building now. Leigh & Fev have great stadiums,the infrastructure,financial backers, fanbase, 2 top coaches, and some good players already. It really does make sense!
