I think there are quite a few current part-time players who would go full time if there was a) enough of a financial carrot and b) the prospect of Super League. The eventual top 2 in Championship this year might be able to offer both. For instance, both Leigh and Fev, who at this stage look amongst the leading candidates to finish in the top two, have a handful of players who are already working full time for the clubs (albeit partly with the community department in each case). The likes of Anthony England and Liam Finn have given up their jobs to have a crack at SL and I'm sure there will be more to come. Also, I don't agree that the two relegated teams, even with parachute payments, will have the pick of the full-time players next season, I'm not sure the likes of London and even Bradford (if they get relegated) are going to be a more attractive proposition for players than such as Leigh and Fev next season.

What evidence do you have of this ?

If you like watching a game behind glass,not sure if us plebs could get in though

Mick you are amongst the Aristocracy of Yorkshire and would get in anywhere , even the Wren .

What will the team who finish top of the third tier of 8 get in terms of finance?

I can see SL2 ie the group of 12 becoming very fixed in it's order because of the financial advantages of being in the 2nd group of 8 when SL2 splits.

Some of the better players in the Championship will be tempted by a crack at full-time rugby and will be mopped up by Leigh and Fev. The rest of the clubs are going to get left behind.

Sheffield away is the only game I will miss this year due to holiday commitment. I didn't plan it that way but it does prove there is a God.

Bradford Bulls you perlonker!!!!

I think he means are you sure Halifax lost a benefactor because of the bent licensing.

Oh, I see. Well, if that's the case then I'm a perlonker. I didn't even mean to say it was bent really - just extremely flawed. I mean, the RFL shelling out £750k for a licenced club's lease!! Complete joke.
