I think there would be problems if they renege on the ' A championship club will be promoted in 2012 ' statement , with all clubs having qualified well within their rights to pursue compensation for monies spent
As I said I cannot see past the 3 current qualifiers unless something strange happens either in Toulouse or Gateshead
The problem they do have is SL doesn't work with an odd number if the RFL want to continue with the Magic weekend , so it's either an equal number up and down or 2 up and an increase to 16 , which personnaly I hope doesn't happen as that will make it less likely that the Championship leagues will get any further investment
