You mean like many games in SL?

What's the point in a new system if we'll be stuck with the same problems?

Wow, what a fan! Though you were suppose to support your team through thick n thin??
You mention playing Leigh, Sheff and Fev, is this because these teams will probably give you a game and have a chance of beating you? You can add Fax to that list too!

Seems the only people that are not in favour of this change are the teams that have been going through the motions in super league and now the safety net has gone there starting to panic. I reckon super league will be more competitive this year because the players know there full time jobs are on the line.

It's more likely that only the team in 12th will know it's fate soon enough to think about resting players. The team finishing 9th least likely. Result being the lower placed team has a slight advantage going into the playoffs. Same as do the winners of the championship who'll be sooner certain of their fate than the team in 4th. This is however taking navel gazing to the extreme.

So how are them attendances going to improve super league or even make your club financially stable? So its great for those fans who have stuck with there club even when no signs of playing super league where apparent but how is it going to benefit rugby league in this country? another thing super league has absolutely no chance of a salary cap raise because those same clubs will start moaning that its causing an unfair competition.

Its rather short sighted and one those things that the RFL give them selves a pat on the back for, Innovative.

Its obvious from koukash that the chairman are going to grind there teeth and bare with it but he's obviously not happy at it either.

Well Salford have managed london have also but had a bit of help.
It's not just the size of the crowd that generates income if the club own it's ground like fev do all food sales bar sales etc go to the club not the stadium owners I.e the council...
Look at football every league has it's big clubs and little clubs why can't rl be the same? it's played on grass not in a boardroom.
Just my opinion on it for what it counts

yes i agree that why i think majority people want to see super league go to 12 because they have just managed somehow to stay solvent but performance wise they are miles off. Yeah i understand different clubs have different revenue streams but 4,000 people are not going to create enough money for a club to spend up to 2,000,000 in players salary alone never mind match day costs, up keep of facilities, upgrading of facilities and back room staff.
I would have no problem with clubs being happy with just being in super league if there presences didn't effect other clubs but it does, salary cap being one of the main ones and blow out scores another. And the RFL skimping money on other sectors just to keep those clubs alive.

You need attendances of around 8-10k to be viable in SL, that's form the HKR chairmen. Salford went bust, the London owner has lost well over £10 million in recent years.

exactly not one club in the championship has any where near that potential.

This is just awful! Simply awful!
