He wasn't it was Maurice Watkins that reviewed it and gave his recommendations, these proposals have come from that report.

There is nothing wrong with the current set up. There is promotion and relegation, it's just that the RFL have not had the balls to relegate either Cas or Wakey. If a SL had gone in either of the licencing periods, there would have been a clear gateway for Championship clubs to get promotion.

The three year licencing period has allowed teams like Wakey, Cas, London etc to give youth players a chance rather than fill their squads with journeyman Aussies like they did when they were under yearly threat of relegation.

My thoughts would be:

Drop the league to 12 and have the top 6 play off (though I still think I preferred the 5), this rids us of the ridiculous club call.
To ensure that every game remains competitive, have one of the relegation criteria as average points per game. Lowest contributes to relegation, that should go a way to stopping teams coasting towards the end of the year.

Just get rid of Wigan, that would lift the dark cloud covering the sport.

You don’t really mean that, who would you slag? I wouldn’t want a league with you men. It’s a love to hate thing. By the way, that rain cloud you’re on about, it’s not rain Saints can feel, its Wigan doing something else on you.

Meh. The lovely roof on our brand new stadium (that we own all by ourselves) keeps the rain out very nicely thank you. You're not getting too cold sleeping under that box are you?
