Fears over financial sustainability of 14-club competition
'Sky don't want it and we should be wary of alienating them'

Super League's proposed expansion to 14 teams is facing an 11th-hour challenge from clubs amid fears it could jeopardise the future of rugby league as a professional sport.

Hull KR and Hull FC voted against expansion at Headingley in July, but other clubs are now understood to have expressed doubts about the Rugby Football League's plans and want to "press the pause button" until 2027.
