A ten-team Super League is being mooted in conjunction with an NRL takeover.
That’s according to the Sydney Morning Herald, which has claimed that the NRL will only consider the stake if it gets complete administrative control of Super League from 2028.
The Australian publication has also claimed that one of the models being considered is for the Super League competition to be renamed with one league of ten across two countries.
They claim that St Helens, Warrington Wolves, Wigan Warriors, Leeds Rhinos, Hull KR and Hull FC would be locked into a new-look European Super League and that the NRL are also keen for both Catalans Dragons and Toulouse Olympique to take part.
With two further spots available, that seemingly paves the way for London Broncos to rejoin the top flight, with IMG also keen on seeing a capital club in the competition.
If so, that would leave just one space for the likes of current Super League sides Leigh Leopards, Castleford Tigers, Wakefield Trinity, Salford Red Devils and Huddersfield Giants to fight it out, whilst Bradford Bulls and York Knights may also fancy their chances.
