Quote: Starbug "A two horse race tends not to be as attractive as a race with 5 potential winners , yes it is enjoyable for a season , but ultimately we need a pond full of big fish , not a pond with one or two sharks in it , because once they've eaten the rest , they starve'"
Next season the Championship will be competitive. It would not surprise me if Halifax beat Featherstone and lost against Keighley at Cougar Park.
All the teams are recruiting well except Leigh.Dewsbury have already signed Nick Fozzard. Keighley will be difficult to beat at Cougar Park with Paul March,Danny Jones and Jason Demetriou to move them around the park. Swinton will be no mugs with Steve McCormack in charge.Hunslet and York also appear to be recruiting well.
Featherstone will be the team to beat. Halifax are second favourites and have recruited a strong side.Sheffield are always strong at Championship level and John Kear will make Mount Pleasant(Batley) very difficult for opposition teams.Leigh just need to survive even if that means relegation to Championship one.
