CLUB STATEMENT | A message from CEO Carl Hall

We welcome the decision to expand Super League to 14 teams from next season. This is a significant step forward in the efforts to strengthen the game in this country.

If the opportunity presents itself for this club to reach Super League, we are ready to push the button. We are incredibly passionate about growing the Dons both on and off the pitch and know that Super League is the ultimate destination.
However, I strongly believe that the two clubs joining the top flight for 2026 should be decided on merit - and by that I mean on-field performance only.
The Betfred Championship league leaders and the winners of the play-off final are the two clubs which should make up the 14.
The foundation of this incredible sport is fearless, full-blooded competition and it is that which should determine how each of the divisions are formed.
