  • The NRL will own Super League before the end of this season, one of Australia's leading journalists has predicted - with the English game being described as 'in the toilet'. Senior figures from the Australian game are stepping up their intention to take a controlling stake in Super League,

The article from MSN discusses the potential acquisition of the Super League by the National Rugby League (NRL), highlighting the dire financial and competitive state of the Super League. It mentions that the Super League has been described as being "in the toilet" due to its financial struggles and lack of competitive balance, with only a few teams like St Helens, Wigan, and Catalans Dragons consistently performing well. The NRL, under the leadership of Peter V'landys, is considering a buyout to expand its influence and potentially rejuvenate the Super League. The timeline for this acquisition is set to be discussed in the coming months, with the NRL aiming to finalize the deal by the end of 2023. This move is seen as an opportunity to address the Super League's issues, including its financial instability and the need for a more competitive and engaging league structure.
