I think the thing to remember is most Bulls comments about Fax have been drawn by a minority of Fax fans (and others) on the wind up. Most fans would love Fax to be in Superleague (just not at our expense). Your gates would of course increase in Superleague, but I agree you would need time to prepare. i look forward to crossing verbal swords with Fax fans, it is much better than with the Giants, at least you can remember winning something!!

Though they are faily balanced, i.e. a chip on both shoulders.

Would it not be better for the bottom placed team in SL to play the winner of the championship in a match before the GF say in a winner takes all match, and who ever wins will be in SL next season. We have seen that some of the top championship teams can stand toe to toe with the lower SL teams should I say

The problem the RFL have with promotion/relegation is that this will put pressure on them to let the Bronco's go.

If London are ever relegated, I can't see them keeping their, already small, fan base. If promotion/relegation comes into play, London will be in contention for relegation almost every year.

I'm not saying it's right or not, but the RFL won't want to lose another expansion club. Again, imagine if Catalans had a bad year and went down, the RFL would be in a bit of a pickle!

In a way that would be a good competition as some Championship teams have had good results against the lower Superleague teams, but it would hardly be a level playing field. The Superleague club would be all full time players with a huge salary cap whilst the Championship club would be made up of mostly part time players on a small cap.

I do sort of see what they are trying to do with Licencing as the promoted team more often than not took a lot of players from the relegated team, so the net effect wasnt fantastic, but its the way that Licencing has been approached that riles a lot of non superleague fans. It would have been more paletable if the RFL had just come out and said that they only want big city clubs to expand and the likes of Featherstone and Halifax just do not fit with their views of expansion, then we could just get on with what we do.

Dont think i made my point very clear bob, i mean if the winner of the championship plays the relegated team in from the SL in a one off match before the GF, then who ever wins will play in super league next season.

Parachute payment for the loser and cash injection for the winner as a carrot on the end of this stick as it where
