It was a damned sight more successful than what we've got. Salford, Cas, Giants, Hull FC, Hull KR and Wakefield were all promoted under the P&R system.
Currently with licensing, we have Bradford in administration, Crusaders have disappeared (twice) London are perpetually in trouble, Wakey have been in administration. I heard a rumour from a Salford fan last week that they'll be next and a rumour this afternoon that Cas are also in trouble.
Licensing was supposed to bring financial stability to the game, For me that was its only plus point, it hasn't. The way things are going we'll have a Super league that consists of Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Wire. Is that really what fans want?

Thats a very valid point but in our recent discussion with Sheikh Onamaface the lack of guaranteed p&r killed the deal.

Interesting. When we were negotiating with Baron von moneylaundering, it was the fact that he could almost guarantee getting a team into SL by building the right club infrastructure, rather than having to depend on the lottery of a small set of playing results that made the idea so attractive to him.

Thats quite interesting, do you think its a cultural thing between Germans and Arabs or historical, due to one having one and the other not?

No.
