Leeds Rhinos, St Helens, Hull KR and Hull FC have released statements in favour of the NRL's investment in Super League after Leigh Leopards owner Derek Beaumont came out against the deal on social media.

Leeds Rhinos, St Helens, Hull KR, and Hull FC have issued statements backing a proposed partnership and investment deal between Super League and the National Rugby League. The public backing follows opposition from Leigh Leopards owner Derek Beaumont, who announced he would vote against the agreement due to the potential inclusion of London Broncos as a 15th team for 2027.
Leeds owner Paul Caddick labeled the potential deal a gamechanger, while Hull rivals released a symbolic joint statement calling it a defining moment. Super League clubs are reportedly set to vote on the strategic partnership by the end of the week.
