The number of years since this last happened is probably a loose guide to how often we'll see any clubs promoted under this system.'"
Fev beat Cas a couple of seasons ago iirc, they also gave Wigan a decent game for 60 mins in the next round as well I think. |

So...we now have promotion/relegation, without much chance of a team from the championship actually being promoted, good old RFL!!

| Quote: pie.warrior "wonder how many SL sides who look like being in positions 9-12 not spending full cap during 23 game main season and saving some room to get some top players in on a short term end of season contract to enhance their chances of finishing well in the 7 game mini-league. Might be a few players from NRL reserves fancy a well paid short holiday...?????'"
But surely the RFL, being the open, honest, well run and trustworthy governing body would implement a transfer window preventing such blatantly unfair and underhanded tactics? |

I wouldn't even dream about promotion for at least 5 years if I were a Bulls fan, plenty of time to get to grips with the format. It was vital to stay in SL this season; full-time staff or part-time staff it means nothing. The gulf is just wider now, it's good that the RFL are dangling the carrot though, keeps a few clubs dreams alive.

| Quote: Duckman "It is a tough ask, but tbf, if it was this season the middle 8 would be;
Wakefield
Hull
Bradford
London
Leigh
Featherstone
Halifax
Doncaster
Assume on league form and placings that Wakey and Hull come first and second in the middle 8 and Fev,fax and Doncaster come in the bottom 3. But, would you bet against Leigh beating the Bulls or London to either position 3 or winning the final?? We have a bigger cap this season but circumstances have dictated that Leigh would be favourites over both the Bulls and London. Who's to say other faults wont also send at least one of next years super league teams into the middle 8 playoffs in a bad state?
Its not a great chance, but I'd say its a very realistic opportunity for 1 or 2 really well run championship clubs, who will hit the middle 8 playoffs full of confidence and looking for promotion rather than the bottom super league clubs that will be lower on confidence and trying to avoid relegation (I think thats a significant attitude difference) If Leigh were to be 5th in my fictional middle 8 above I'd give them a good chance against any of them 4 super league clubs in a one off final at the mo, although in that 8 in the current state Leigh would be 3rd and we'd (hopefully) be playing London or fev or fax in the final.'"
Actually it would be more like:
Hull KR
Salford
Wakefield
Hull
Bulls
London
Leigh
Fev |

I expect Wakey, KR and Widnes to be three of the teams. Can't decide on the 4th. Anyone who watched the widnes V Wakey and Cats V Wakey must have seen how awful those games were. A confident championship team has a chance. Don't forget the top two teams in the championship also get 4 home games from the seven. Odsal would get big crowds to watch us play Wakey, KR and say Widnes + one other.
What do people think the points will be for say 3rd -auto promotion spot - out of a possible 14 points. I am guessing 8 points. Four wins = 3 championship teams + Wakey or KR or Widnes. That sounds possible to me.
We may as well pack it in now if people don't think we have a chance against the bottom SL clubs. Wakey are already signing average players for next year.

But you're not, so we would be interested in your weird hypothetical why exactly?
