So will they have a top 4/6/8 playoff to get to the top 2 playoff?

Two up and Two down would have been better - with the top team in the Championship going up automatically and maybe 2 v 3 playing each other in a kind of (but not as lucrative I would imagine) - Million Pound Game - from a FAX POV nowt much has changed , best to build slowly towards SL - wage bill would have to treble for a start.

That would put two SL sides down each year. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas do they? |

Two key points for me.1. The RFL and SL need to stop moving the goalposts on this topic as it is a total turn off for potential commercial sponsors and spectators if you have no idea what the competition metrics are. 2. As far as Halifax RLFC are considered we need to build on the gathering momentum and stop thinking about it being an achievement just to get in top 8's this year- but to actually do something in that 8's stage as well and b) for next season get in that top two and have that as our strategy and mission now and plan for that according. Success breeds success and accepting mediocrity brings exactly that-mediocrity.

I take your point but at least it is better than the closed shop, restraint of trade, what's the point, let's move the goal posts, Franchise system we had before this. |

The questions I'd be asking would be
1. Who gave 12 $uper£eague clubs the authority to decide there'll be no $uper Eights ?
2. How many games will we be playing next season and what's the format ?

Looks remarkably like the power grab by (some of) the SL clubs hinted at a few weeks ago by Lenagan whilst there is a power vacuum at The RFL following Wood's departure. There is supposedly a review of the structure going on involving parties from all levels of the 'pro' game that seems to have been simply ignored when making the announcement. As Kevin Nicholas, the Batley Chairman says [i'war looms'[/i.
Gary Hetherington also appears unimpressed: https://www.therhinos.co.uk/2018/06/12/ ... ue-format/
[i"Today’s announcement regarding plans for next season appear to be an absurd grab for power for the game by a small group of men who think they own the game.
Leeds Rhinos are not party to this and are totally against the creation of a separate Super League executive. Super League clubs voted 7 to 5 at our last meeting on some key issues related to promotion and relegation.
The game is in need of strong leadership from Brian Barwick and his Board of Directors at the Rugby Football League, the games governing body, and this announcement should bring a response from everyone connected with the game."[/i |

The RFL respond:
www.rugby-league.com/article/526 ... lph-rimmer
We are delighted to welcome Robert Elstone back into the sport as Chief Executive of Super League (Europe), he will undoubtedly be an asset to the game. Robert is a talented administrator, is clearly passionate about Rugby League and we very much look forward to working with him as we all look to grow our sport.
The Super League is a fantastic competition and as the premier competition of this sport should obviously play a key role in leading and shaping the future of it.
[i"The Rugby Football League has been in discussions with representatives of the Super League since the turn of the year. We have been in regular and broadly constructive meetings with them and Championship and League 1 clubs about potential changes that could strengthen our sport going forward.
We would like to make clear that these discussions are still ongoing. No binding decisions have been made across a range of issues, including competition structure, but progress is being made. Further meetings are expected to take place between all parties in due course.
As would be expected the Rugby Football League Board has played a leading role in all of these discussions and will continue to do so. Our ambition, as the sport’s governing body, is to have the strongest Super League possible whilst also ensuring all other elements of the game have the opportunity to flourish.
We too are determined that the sport of Rugby League grows its profile and maximises its appeal to take advantage of the huge opportunity of hosting the Rugby League World Cup in 2021."

I've just read Mark Campbell, Featherstone's chairman's view on this. It's on TotalRL.com and is a must read. He is spot on. P.S. I don't know how to put it on here, perhaps someone less thick than me could oblige?
