NRL takeover of Super League depends on keeping French sides | Super League

The NRL’s potential acquisition of a stake in Super League hinges on the participation of French clubs, Catalans Dragons and Toulouse, amid a power struggle in British rugby league. Following the ousting of Simon Johnson as Rugby Football League chair, Nigel Wood has taken over to lead a strategic review that may impact the future of Super League. The NRL is reportedly prepared to invest in Super League, but only if it gains full control, with plans potentially including a reduction in teams, while opposition exists regarding the French clubs’ roles in the league.
